I have always imagined that I wanted to be the type of person who gave gifts of homemade jam made from the fruits of my backyard garden, so I bought this book to help me imagine better. (Have I mentioned my black thumb and aversion to cooking before?) #BonApetit #AugustGrrrl

@Cinfhen I bought this at the same time as Plenty, Plenty More and Jerusalem. 😄

Wild Garlic, Gooseberries... and Me: A Chef's Stories and Recipes from the Land | Denis Cotter

#BonApetit #AugustGrrrl @Cinfhen

This is a rather lovely book from South-West Ireland. Cotter is a restaurant owner who uses mainly locally-sourced produce. As Cork & Devon have a similar climate (🌦🌬🌦💦🌦) I think it was bought for me so I could grow stuff on the allotment then cook amazing things.

🤣😂🙃 Yeah. Maybe one day I'll progress beyond potatoes! The 🥔 🥔 are fab, mind!

Cinfhen Pretty photo! I've never had a gooseberry 😊seems exotic 7y

monkeygirlsmama Oooh my grandparents used to have gooseberry bushes. Mmmm I miss those things. 7y

rockpools @monkeygirlsmama @Cinfhen Exotic sounds 😂😂😂 - they seem old-fashioned here I think. They are totally the sort of thing your gran used to grow in the UK - where were your folks based? I actually inherited a couple of bushes on the allotment & did gooseberry crumble last year 😋But you never see them in the shops, so maybe they are becoming rarer! (edited) 7y

monkeygirlsmama @RachelO My grandparents were in the States, Pennsylvania to be exact. Only place I ever saw or tried them. 7y

rockpools @monkeygirlsmama I'm obviously going to have to try harder & take more care of mine next year! The prickles are something else though! 7y
