Sometimes there are moments in life that you know are pivotal. Moments that are eye opening, remind us, change our perspective, allow us to dream. This was one of this moments.

Sunny dinners at home. What a treat cooking with produce from market garden. Zucchini trifolati, courgette bread, cabbage & cavolo Nero with chilli & garlic, and as we end the season, some tomatoes from Vesuvius, grains, friends and lots of love and laughs!

Special afternoon picking produce from Ewhurst today. The most incredible colours and lush veggies… what a blessing to dig in and then cook this stuff from the land. And Ciccio got to eat his first carrot! 🥰

Beef fillet, girolles…. And all the sides, on the side. Working on menus for the year, weddings and corporates - trying to please them with plated courses, but deep down inside, trying to convince them to have way more small plates of food to share, family style dining - relaxed, less formal, just as delicious and way more fun!

Loving the beetroot season. Preparing for wedding season.

Feel like we’ve been inundated with wedding enquiries this year and it feels amazing to be out of the covid back log and on to some newly engaged couples and fun new venues around the UK. Bring on summer celebrations! 📷

Some of you may know this, but for those of you who don’t… Each time I travel somewhere, I buy some sort of a ceramic. Over the years I’ve built up a collection of some of the most beautiful & precious pieces from all over the world, and a huge percentage are gifts from special people. Each plate tells a story, has a memory, and reminds me of a happy time. It’s a beautiful thing, and has been a special part of building the business. It doesn’t really feel like a business, buy more of an extension of my hospitality and heart to share something beautiful. Because I can. And why not.

Many meals have been shared on plates with a story. Many bowls have started a conversation, and many memories brought to life.

The best part is, it’s continuously growing as time goes on. Special times recorded and celebrated by being with special people, and recognising the art of friendships, ceramics and the joy shared by eating beautiful food.

These here, are made by a local ceramicist in Edinburgh, of different sands from local beaches. The colours and textures are incredible. Here’s to more & more beautiful things, times, food, and people.
