Gearing up for Xmas. This week the VAT on food went up to 12.5% with the view to go back to 20% in April. Unlucky if your peak season is in the winter. Unfortunately for us the crisis is still far from over. Surviving on reduced numbers et al. Let’s hope 12.5 stays longer.

Pineapple weed (infused) set cream, sea buckthorn ‘caviar’, dehydrated raspberries. I actively avoid tropical fruit on my pastry section. this gave me the pineapple flavour with no air miles. Tastes like a fruit salad sweet, not as sweet🍬 #chef #foodbloggers #dessert #forager

Found loads of this out and about the other day. Pineapple weed/ wild camomile, tastes just like 🍍. Taken a load of it back to the kitchen 👀 #cheflife #forager #dessert #Norfolk #NorfolkDay #Norwich

So much amazing produce coming out of the farm at the moment. We’re also looking for wood chips and compost to put back in. Please get in touch if you can help.

Our sourdough is improving week on week. Equal parts rewarding and frustrating, each loaf is slightly different.. guess that’s the beauty of it. Having a decent oven to bake it would probably improve it further still but that’s life for now🤔 #sourdough #bakingday #selftaught
