I don’t know about you but for me, a Monday night dinner always needs to be delicious as it’s a reward for getting through another Monday in lockdown and I will have looked forward to it all day 👊
-
I learnt to love hassleback potatoes when working with Rosie 👩🏼‍🍳 at one of our studio contracts. It was a great lunch for endless teams of photographers. This meal is such a simple recipe and perfect to chuck in the oven and leave to cook.
-
We’ve used sweet potato 🍠 and smothered in a pesto. You can use anything you fancy though; hummus, feta cheese, herby butter, mince, a great one for using up fridge ends.
-�Monday done, spring is one step closer 👊👊👊

Hello Friday, you old friend ❤️
I am definitely ready for the weekend, and, ready for a Friday wine. Anyone else?!
-
What makes this Friday so exciting is that tonight I am joining at 6pm for a little tipple and a chin wag as part of their GRAPE MINDS series. I can’t wait!🍇

Log on to the insta live at 6 TONIGHT and say hi! We’d love you all to join 🥂🍷

Lunch Plans? 🌮🍴
-
This is the famous Sprout Taco 🌮 recipe I’ve been taking about for months now! As part of my series I developed a number of recipes to brighten up the first few months of 2021 and this was one of them! 📝
-
Smoked Chipotle Sprout Taco. It’s a goodie, for full recipe was to the Falcon insta.
-
The great thing about a lunch time taco is that you can b**g in anything else you fancy or need to use up. Think Feta, Cheddar, shredded Cabbage, Kimchi, all sorts of excitement!
-
Enjoy 💋

Going Green ♻️ 🌍
-
Over the last few years at Social Pantry we’ve put lots of time, budget and energy into, where possible, taking steps to ‘Go Green’ This has had a knock on effect at home, where I’ve been making some small changes. 🏡
-
From composting our food waste to endless house plants🪴and zero waste cooking I have discovered a few great simple steps that are easy and affordable which I thought I ‘d share 💚
-
One change was switching from using shower gels to bars of soap. Soap can often be cheaper than show gel and but the most importantly it reduces plastic 🌍There is something so satisfying about opening a new soap! I love it.
-
I have tried a few different soaps now but have to say that Soap company is a company is the soap I love the most 🧼 The charcoal detox bar is incredible 🙌
-
If you want a few simple tips this little book from is full of simple steps and advice which has been insightful.

-
As we hit Feb it seems so long since I’ve seen my full team. Is anyone else missing the workplace and their colleagues?
-
I cannot wait to get the sites open again and see all the friendly faces I’m missing at the moment ☕️
-
This is Ruben who loads of you know but just incase you don’t he is a brilliant man who’s been a friend and who I have mentored him for over 5 years now. I met Ruben just before he came out of YOI Isis, Thameside next to HMP Belmarsh, he’s been a buddy ever since. We bonded over trying to give up smoking 🚬 I miss hanging out and having a coffee with him.

The park is great and all but, we all know there is that little special place that we’d rather be this weekend 🌴 Obvs feeling grateful to have had so many fun experiences but can’t wait until we can, safely, travel again, or at least plan a trip 🏝

We’ve made it to the weekend 👊💪
-
I love making an effort at the weekend, if it is with what I am wearing, my hair, the tablescape or what I am cooking. I have more time to enjoy everything especially being in the kitchen, the weekend means I can cook recipes that take that little bit longer.
-
For tonight’s dinner we’re keeping it veggie with this banger 💥
Grilled Leeks with Freekah, Tahini and Cashew Dressing. I first had BBQ’d leeks at and have been inspired ever since. They are so simple yet so delicious. If you want to check out the recipe it’s on the blog.
-
At home George and I cook vegetarian most of the time and are not missing meat as much as you might think. As and when we do cook meat I want it to be from the butcher and only the best quality so it is a rare treat. 🐄

Hello You Beauties.
-
Winter Tomatoes are ON. Just imagine, how these will taste thinly sliced, drizzled with olive oil and some sea salt….
-
Just over 10 years ago Natoora coined the phrase winter tomatoes and chefs across town, including us are loving them. The stress of the cold forces the fruit to mature slowly from the inside out.
-
My, newly learnt tip, is to salt them for 30mins before eating to really bring out the flavour. Smother over toast with torn basil and enjoy.
-
Swipe right for the version which is where we’ve served them with pickled cucumber, fennel and a hard goats’s cheese

🤹‍♀️ Does anyone else who is juggling work, baby, homeschooling or any other child related job at points, just want to scream?! 😱 I have ultimate respect for anyone homeschooling, WELL DONE you are a hero 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

There are days when I feel I am part of an awful endurance test where the ar****le instructor doesn’t tell you how many rounds you have to do! 😩

I keep reminding myself that it will not last forever, (I won’t have a uni brow forever) and that I have a heavenly, weekly trip to Sainsbury’s to look forward to for some peace and quiet 🧘‍♀️ 🛒

MENTAL HEALTH, SOCIAL YOGA
-
As someone who has for as long as I can remember, suffered from Anxiety I know how important it is to stay mentally positive. For me a yoga session can really help and change my day for the better.
-
At the beginning of January I decided to launch a weekly yoga sessions so that we could all feel connected despite so many of my team and industry not working at the moment.
-
The 45min Monday morning session is totally free for anyone in the Hospitality Industry. If you feel like you are in need of a Monday morning stretch, join us every Monday at 07:30.

Head to Social Pantry and email our brilliant teacher Tori by 3pm today to join.

Such a simple lunch of soft boiled eggs & 🥑 with a end of herb pesto, but, when the eggs are laid in your garden by Bev 🐓 and Jill 🐓 it makes it really even tastier 👌 We’ve had two eggs a day since Sunday so excited for some weekend baking and endless eggs for brekkie!

At the end of a long week it was almost a treat laying the table for supper last night. It was only a simple supper of salmon, spinach and mash but really fun to lay the table and turn it into a something more exciting.
The beautiful runner and napkins are what makes it. 🧡

Lentils, I love them, they make a great quick and easy lunch 🥗 when making a salad for lunch I’ll try and lace it with a few goodies either, avo, feta or roasted tomatoes 🍅 I’ve used a simple vinaigrette dressing I already had in the fridge to make it extra tasty 😋

What’s going to get you through this January? 🛀 I am often asked what is my go-to to properly relax and it’s always the same answer, for me nothing beats a hot bath, I love it ❤️ It is the perfect way to unwind and a lovely time to enjoy a book or podcast. I know that Jan 2021 for me will involve a lot of time in the tub to keep me sane!
