A BOWL OF AUTUMN

The leaves are changing, the air is getting colder and nothing feels better than a piping hot bowl of soup.

This seasonal soup, is made with roasted British squash, sweet potatoes and onions, with a secret ingredient, silken tofu, for a smooth, silky bowl of autumn.

Great to batch make and freeze for when you need a hug in a bowl.

What you’ll need (serves 4-6):
1 butternut squash
2 large sweet potatoes
300g block of silken tofu
4 white onions
1 tbsp ginger paste
2 tbsp curry powder
1 tbsp caraway seeds
1 tbsp nigella seeds
4 tbsp sunflower oil
2 litres vegetable stock
Sea salt & pepper to taste

How to make:
- Set your oven to gas mark 6/200°c
- Peel and deseed your squash and chop into cubes, followed by your sweet potato and add to a large bowl.
- Peel and cut your onions into quarters.
- Mix together your curry powder, caraway seeds and nigella seeds with the sunflower oil, before coating over your squash and sweet potato.
- Line on a baking tray and slot in your onions, before adding a little more oil and roasting until golden and soft.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- When cooled, add your roasted veg to a food processor, along with the tofu block and vegetable stock, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Season with sea salt and pepper to taste, before warming through and serving with toasted breadcrumbs and seeds.

You’ll know by now my most looked forward to meal of the day, filled with fresh, juicy, seasonal produce, crunchy textures and chocolatey coffee, and that bringing people together over food is magic to me. I also love where I live in Crystal Palace.

So I thought, for two weekend in the summer months why not merge the two?

20/07/2024

It’s the last few days in Greek sun, and I’m leaving filled with Kalamata olives, spinach pie, warm dips, soft syrupy orange cake and so much bread that I look like a piece of bread.

This year we came back to a village in the Pelion peninsula, in the exact same villa we stayed in last year and made a visit to the same dedicated baker every morning.

The feeling of being a local away from your local, from the coffee orders “one freddo cappachio, one americano?” to “we made you a spinach and leek pie, no cheese” is something so special.

The “Yassas!” to people in the street, the slow pace of life, the heads bobbing in the 9am morning sun and the simplicity of dishes, passed down through generations.

I’m returning back to the U.K. with positive reflections on the past few months, and a readiness to strip it back to the simple stuff. One stuffed pepper at a time.

01/07/2024

Like plants? Like food made from plants? You’re in luck!
