long & not-so-lazy summer days in the studio | Lightnin’ Hopkins, Texas Bluesman (and why can’t all men have his style?)
packing for a weekend away near the sea + excited about the BFI’s Mediterranean-themed film screenings in the coming weeks
above, a still from Albert Lewin’s Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (1950)
Agnes hoping to catch a bite of these blackberry ricotta scones (sorry lady, they were too good to share) + Fern Verrow’s strawberry jam
Bi Luo Chun tea from Tommy | very special brewing technique: pour water in first, drop tea leaves in one at a time, when the leaves no longer sink to the bottom the tea is ready
Being self-employed, I tend to have a nasty habit of working late nights, all weekend, on much-loved sunny bank holidays… but I do have the privilege to organise business meetings in the best of ways: talking shop over food, food, and more food. Tommy came by to discuss possible new sewing techniques, and we grazed on this cherry-coriander salad, walnut toast & asparagus tartines, peppery salad with preserved lemon, and scones.
preparing the dough | whole wheat blackberry ricotta scones (these take the prize in my book for best way to wow any guest, lover, friend, family member, or dog)
