Perfect weather for this Malvani Fish Curry by @smitadeoofficial with warm steamed basmati rice. I used bite-size basa and loved the mix of coconut, garlic, chilli, kokum (souring dry fruit similar to tamarind) and Sichuan pepper. Rich, tangy and wonderfully fragrant. #MalvaniFishCurry 🍽️🍜 #food

Feta Fried Eggs from @graceelkus’s Protein-Packed Vegetarian, released today. Crispy golden feta, runny yolk, chilli flakes and black pepper on toasted sourdough. The book suggests tortilla and avocado, but I had toast on my mind. No regrets. 🍽️🍜

Is this cup plant flower? That's what it said on the seed packet but looks more like calendula or sunflower to me. Asking because cup plant flowers are supposed to be perennials in my zone (zone 5) but sunflowers are not. #whichfloweristhis #flower

Canadian wild blueberries made the decision for me. @ottolenghi’s Blueberry Almond and Lemon Cake from Simple was our hostess cake, with a tender nutty crumb, bright lemon and jammy blueberry bursts. The thick icing travelled perfectly. I regret baking only one.
