A few weeks ago, I posted about the upcoming #RationChallenge I was about to take part in and offered a set of three postcard prints to anyone who was kind enough to sponsor me. If that person was you and you would like to receive a set then please drop me a message or email to let me know your address so that I can send your postcards to you. If you would like to purchase a set for £5, all of those proceeds will go towards @concernworldwideuk who are helping to support refugees across the world. Thank you again to everyone who supported the Challenge and go and leave some love over at @mustard_seed_cook’s feed. She started her challenge a week later than almost everyone else, which makes it much harder to get through without the support of others going through the same thing: congratulations on keeping going, Katherine!

I have sets earmarked for you all, @joanransley, @jennychandleruk and @iain_baxter. ❤️

I’ve long wanted to have a go at making tomato consommé. Indeed, my last meal out with Charlotte pre-lockdown was at @theniterylondon, where we enjoyed the most amazing tomato consommé as part of @gizzierskine’s menu there. It was incredible. I sort of made this one up as I went along, but at its heart was the last of my @iowtomatoes stash (thanks, @pamll0yd). Final result just missing a touch of salt, but otherwise really very happy with the results. Very tempted to drink the whole lot down, but decorum called for a soup plate and spoon. ❤️🍅

‘Brit(ish)’ is Afua Hirsch’s answer to the question, ‘Where are you from?’ The question is framed in several ways. It’s the loaded and intrusive enquiry from a complete stranger, one who sees colour and then wants to know how foreign that colour is. It’s a quest of Hirsch discovering her own identity, exploring her heritage, born to a Ghanaian mother and a Jewish father. And it’s an unflinching and probing examination of the country of Hirsch’s birth: it’s colonialist past and its current attitudes towards immigration and refugees.
.
Hirsch’s answers don’t come easily: as a young woman she travels to Senegal, hoping to feel a sense of connection. Instead, she finds herself very much an outsider again – her skin colour marking her out as a foreigner once more, albeit this time a privileged one. Later in life, she moves to Ghana, but finds the same problem. Towards the end of her time there, she recalls quite terrifyingly being ambushed by a group of muggers and, once again, it is her skin colour that has placed a target onto her back.
.
Whilst fairly academic in tone, the book is highly readable and digs uncomfortably deep into the subjects of othering, the struggle for acceptance and the less than glorious history of Hirsch’s mother country. That means covering a range of subject matter, from Empire to slave trading, from Windrush to stop-and-search. Hirsch recognises her privilege, too, growing up in leafy Wimbledon, studying at Oxford; but is not allowed to enter one of Wimbledon’s independent shops on account of her colour, and later discovers that the philosophers Locke and Hume, who so bewitched her as an undergraduate, both actively engaged in disseminating racist thought to defend slavery. It unravels those people and ideas in which she placed value. Research into her Ghanaian mother’s family’s reveal links to the Dutch slave trade. On her father’s side, it is the story of her grandfather in 1938 Berlin being forced to flee the Nazis.
.
This is Hirsch’s struggle to know herself and an examination of belonging. She scrutinises how power and ideologies can so dangerously divide a country.

The most distressing thing about a late lunch is that I start fearing dinner will now be further away. Toasted sourdough, @iowtomatoes, balsamic and rapeseed. 😋

A pasta sauce to die for. With half the spoils of an @iowtomatoes box still left after @pamlloydpr’s kind gift at the end of last week, I thought I’d whizz up a sauce to rival anything from a jar. Tomatoes on a base of mirepoix with parsley and basil and three fingers of butter: so, so good. Half will go towards a pasta dish; the other half a base for a first attempt at consommé over the weekend.

Good to be back with the team at @bristol_fish today shooting a few extra dishes, including their rather wonderful Fish Supper. One can never have too much tartare sauce or mashed peas, or, indeed, beer-battered fish and chips. Thanks for modelling, Lucy!
