Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 14/10/2026This was a pale ale from @eyambrewery.bsky.social (Ring o Roses). They keep and pull their beer so well at The Star (Glossop). 010
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 12/10/2026She’s not in London anymore. £2.80 for a long black? Yes please. 030
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 13/09/2026This may be the most out of date find when cooking in my parents’ house this year… 350
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Something never feels quite right about drinking water from a can. 000
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 26/08/2026First (and probably last) family picnic in Peckham Rye Park this summer. It was too hot. Then we were on holiday. And then this evening was perfect. 080
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Yesterday’s green beans for @southlondongirl.bsky.social - with shallot and tarragon vinaigrette. 390
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 22/08/2026We have a huge tree too (straddles our next door and next door-but-one neighbours’ gardens). This was my attempt at photographing the woodpecker the other day… 210
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Leftover stale toast from lunch yesterday + tomatoes from the garden to make panzanella for lunch today. 1130
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The great green bean glut continues. With over 3kg still in the fridge, today’s lunch offering was a salad of green beans, black beans, feta, lemon juice, olive oil and za’atar. 3200
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 21/07/2026OK we went for festoon lights because they give a lovely light. Ours are mains (we have an outdoor socket). But love them and you can get solar versions easily I think. You can just see them on the fence here and then they climb into the crab apple tree. 210
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Fridge-foraged lunch. Out of shot: side plate of mixed pickles. 150
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I have made a cold soba noodle salad with the first of the haricot beurre and mangetout from the garden, additional green beans, sugar snaps and edamame. Tahini, lime, soy sauce dressing. Crispy sesame coated, smoked tofu. Fevertree ginger beer. 190
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 01/07/2026@julieo25.bsky.social friend, I have been able to source blistex… 100
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 24/06/2026The perfect hot day lunch inspired by @nicmiller.bsky.social with lettuce, spring onions and chives from the garden. 5131
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Wow. You lot are early to bed! We are sat around the BBQ waiting for the GCSE-er to join us. 330
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 03/06/2026People who know these things, do we think this is a leopard slug? 000
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Does anyone happen to know what this plant might be that has appeared in my front garden? Is it a weed or something self-seeded or even something I planted and forgot about…?! Thanks 200
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 26/03/2026💯 but I see this as a challenge. The only request I made was for dad to buy some fresh greens! 140
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 21/03/2026We absolutely loved this programme. Warm, joyous, funny and heartfelt. Also found ourselves growing what looked like a homunculi in the kombucha this week… 361
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Asked my teen where to store the replacement bag of potatoes. 031
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 01/03/2026I missed artichoke season last time I visited Rome. So this time I made the most of it. The artichoke sandwich of my dreams. 2121
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Arrived in Rome and out in time for golden hour. Wine and pizza al taglio already consumed. 0110
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Did you get the fancy cake? You deserve fancy cake. We all do! No fancy cake here though 😞 Smallest R has (after several mini meltdowns) baked pretzels though. 250
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 15/02/2026Happy Payday Dinner to You! We’re trying the simplicity veggie burgers. Smallest boy has made burger buns. They are beauties. I’ll make a slaw. Boys might have leftover chippy chips from the freezer. 3130
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 08/07/2025Please send thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. 020
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 11/05/2025Spent yesterday afternoon helping my mates out at the Hot Sauce Festival in Peckham. Had such a laugh and met some awesome people. Paying for it today though… @peckhamsmoker.bsky.social 060
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 12/04/2025The wisteria made an appearance before we headed north 💜 020
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 21/03/2025Day off. Post-workout lunch. Might wander out for coffee in the sunshine. 010
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Lunchtime. I repurposed a small portion of spicy soup into a warming noodle bowl. Black soya bean noodles, tofu, tenderstem and soya beans. 010
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Lunchtime. Leftover sweet potato dal with crispy spiced tempeh and other leftover bits and pieces from the fridge. 020
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 04/02/2025I have just polished a huge bowlful of keema mattar (made with soya mince - never used it before!), with brown basmati, raita and cavolo nero for health. No pud. No boozes. 120
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Massive lunch using up reduced leeks and mushrooms to fix my birthday hangover. 030
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 13/01/2025Lunchtime. Using up odds and ends from the weekend. Spicy scrambled tofu, smoked trout, kale, mushrooms and red pepper. A slice of seedy bread on the side. 020
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Well now, buoyed by the success of my table runner I have also made a festive cushion cover for my 10yo for Christmas! It’s funny how much of what you learn as a child is still second nature. 030
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 11/12/2024I couldn’t find a simple plain table runner for Christmas that wasn’t silly money. So I’m making one out on the little basic sewing machine which I picked up for free a couple of years ago. 061
Naomi @gingergourmand.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Me and the smallest boy have been dehydrating whole limes for our wreath. They have been dehydrating in the instant pot for approximately 543 hours so far. Still a bit juicy. 020
