Food and cooking are things that I love, and I love to share them too. I try to incorporate them into my work with other people, and especially in schools with children. Growing food, foraging for ingredients and cooking on an open fire are very exciting and satisfying, but any food shared with others is good.
Bread
I love making bread. There's likely to be some more pictures of bread sometime...
But this is bread in a fire, right in the fire, with crunchy bits of ash and wood getting in to the dough.
Tastes brilliant.

Pudding

I'm not sure how many food rituals we have left, that are regularly practiced anyway. At Christmas, we still flame the pudding (or two, in this case!). This year, middle boy took over the ladle and brandy, and did a fine job. It's a bit like birthday candles, but shared by us all not just one person. Everyone shouts advice about how often to ladle the burning brandy and whether it's really gone out or not.
