2018: A year in the garden.

Spicy Green Tomato Salsa

The peas, broad beans, beets and onions are putting their roots down in the garden, but before we can enjoy the first of this year's harvests, we can bridge that hungry gap with whatever vegetables are available and chuck them in this soba salad with smoked tofu and a miso ginger dressing. . . . . #heresmyfood #makeitdelicious #letscook #darktablemood #onmyplate #tastespotting #tastingtable #inmykitchen #beautifulcuisines #eattherainbow #eattheseasons #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #feedfeedvegan @thefeedfeed.vegan #plantbased #moodyfood #foodwinewomen #cuisine.d.eli #livetoeat #lifeandthyme #theartofslowliving #f52gram

Okay, I admit this has mostly been about me wanting to dress up to channel my inner costume drama queen, but I also want to talk about bananas. In 1903 the Cavendish, the banana as we know it, first made its way onto the world market.(hence this faithful reconstruction of an Edwardian lady contemplating the fruit in question). It cannot reproduce on its own, meaning that all bananas we eat are essentially clones, grown on huge monoculture plantations. Now, less than 120 years later, a rapidly spreading fungus known as Panama Disease threatens its existence. So, what will the future look like? Sad and banana-deprived? A world where banana-bread will simply revert to bread (or actually cake, let’s not kid ourselves).Or will we get used to eating other cultivars? Candy apple bananas, for instance, or lady finger bananas or red bananas, or any of the hundreds of other varieties? Or something else entirely? . . . . #foodforthought #lifeandthyme #foodhistory #historicalfashion #costumedrama #thefutureofbananas #foodwinewomen #ofwhimsicalmoments #chiaroscuro #chasingthelight #everydaymagic #cuisine.d.eli #artandfood #moodyfood #growingfood #mycommontable
