People often see the meal on the table, but not everything that goes into creating it.
For this Summer Solstice Lunch I’ve been sprouting beans, chickpeas and lentils, preserving lemons, preparing cherries in lime blossom tea, gathering dandelion leaves, and making herbal drinks with rose, rose geranium and hawthorn, sweetened with jaggery.
It takes time. A lot of time.
But that’s what I love about these seasonal lunches. They give us a chance to experience flavours, plants and preparations that you simply won’t find in a supermarket, and rarely in a restaurant. Each ingredient has been chosen because it belongs to this season and has something to offer at this particular time of year.
For me, these lunches are about more than food. They’re about reconnecting with the rhythms of nature, being curious, trying something new, and sharing the abundance of the season with others.
A little celebration of the Summer Solstice, one plate at a time. 🌞🌿
Saturday June 20th, 12:30-14:00 at the WG Grace, 1 Lion’s Close, SE9 4HG, Grove Park.
