Have you ever tried Scamorza cheese? It’s Italian and a close relative of mozzarella. This one is smoked and shaved thinly into a mixed microgreens salad with tomato and oregano, topped off with a generous glug of extra virgin olive oil and a handful of microgreen basil. This gorgeous cheese is from @khione_vegato who are based in @castleemporium and can also be found at Riverside Farmers Market on Sunday. Pop along and what other Italian and Sicilian delights they have… they also even have ice-cream! 🙌🏻 Here’s to our salad collaboration! #italianfood #scicilianfood #farmersmarket #riversiderealfood #scamorzacheese #collaborativefood #makingmeals #castleemporium (at Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ_n3OnL9wj/?utm_medium=tumblr

What a treat to experience the fine dining of @mabin.eatery yesterday evening at their new Supper Club. Scroll through my photos of the 5 tasty courses we devoured; Brushetta si Caponata & Spiced nuts, Summer Frittata with Salsa Rubra and Garden Salad, Slow Cooked Curried Mutton, New Potatoes with Seasonal Greens and Garlic Chilli Butter, Caramel and Nut Biscuit Tiffin with Strawberry Compote and Hung Yoghurt, and as a finale, Tomino with Oat Crumb and Welsh Honey. It’s not a restaurant takeaway service, it’s something a bit more special and collaborative than that as all dishes needed either simple final preparation or plating up, which was creative and fun! Each course was paired with a perfect drink suggestion, it had all the elegance of a fine dining experience. The best bit (apart from the textures and flavours), was knowing the chefs who had created such wonderful food sourced all their high quality ingredients from local producers and growers. Check out @mabin.eatery you will love their food!! #mabineatery #localproduce #walesstartup #walesbusiness #roath #businesswales #cardifffood #penarthview #penarth #womeninbusiness #entrepreneur #walesentrepreneur #supperclub (at Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ22xj_glgB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Watching and listening to bees in slow-mo really helps to understand the complexity of their being. Did you know that around 90% of wild plants and 75% of leading global crops depend on animal pollination? One in every three mouthfuls of our food depends on pollinators. What are you doing to help keep our bees thriving and enable us to keep growing and eating? #wwf #bees #bbcbigbeechallenge #zoeballbreakfastshow #organicgardening #organicfood #beesindanger #pollinators🐝 #beesarethefuture #passionfruit #passionflower #nopesticidesonmyplate #nopesticides #savethebees (at Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQYGNwfAAPk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Look what I found at @riversiderealfood today. Gorgeous locally made @austringercider cider! I’m so happy as it doesn’t contain any sulphites and it tastes devine, hence the flutes to appreciate it even more. My life is complete.
