The flagship

Food

A photo-journal, not a recipe site. Everything gets shot in stages — raw on the Big Green Egg, smoke everywhere, then the platter — because the middle of the story is the good bit.

BBQ — Indian — Asian — Roasts — Baking — Foraging & preserves — Anything else I fancy

BBQ — low & slow, kebabs, burgers

Low and slow on the Egg, salmon gatecrashing at the finish.

Indian

The full spread: tandoori kebabs, saag aloo, daal, rice and griddled rotis on patterned plates. — **Tandoori feast**

Foraging & preserves — the long games live here

Peel, steep, bottle. One post, updated per batch.

Close-up of pickled walnuts in the jar. — **The pickled walnut long game** · LONG GAME

The finished chilli sauce in its well-used plastic tub. — **Chilli sauce, from the fire**
Charred on the BBQ, blitzed, kept in the fridge. The tub keeps it real.

Anything else I fancy
