❤️ Love is Love ❤️ 21.10.19 🏳️‍🌈 ❤️Marriage Equality in Northern Ireland ❤️🏳️‍🌈 Delighted that from midnight tonight we’ll have the same right to get married as the rest of the UK & Ireland! Looking forward to converting our civil partnership in 2020 @edibleflowerbrews 😘😘😘 And just as importantly hurrah that Northern Irish women are finally being granted reproductive rights in line with the rest of the UK - it has been far, far too long!! There might be a few people still kicking and screaming against progress but it feels like Northern Ireland is finally catching up! #loveislove #marriageequality #21october2019 #marriageequalityni #equalmarriage #prochoice #theedibleflower

Thank you to the lovely Ruairi from @northcoastsmokehouse for the impromptu tour today. Ruairi makes delicious hot smoked salmon using super fresh organic salmon from @glenarmorganicsalmon , as well as smoked salt, pepper and dulse. He was incredibly generous with his time when we turned up (with twin babies) in the middle of his working day - and explained the whole process from filleting & curing to hot smoking & blast chilling! Can’t wait to eat the salmon we bought! The @northcoastsmokehouse is open as part of the @economuseeni though it is best to ring in advance as Ruairi is often out and about doing deliveries! #smokedsalmon #hotsmokedsalmon #smoking #smokedfish #northcoastsmokehouse #organicsalmon #economuseeni #ballycastle #theedibleflower

Washing some beautiful leeks grown by @edibleflowerbrews - washing leeks can be tricky as there is often grit trapped in between the layers. I wash the leeks as normal and then once I’ve sliced them I put them in a large bowl of water, swish it about and leave for ten minutes. The soil, grit & sand will sink to the bottom of the bowl and you can scoop the lovely clean leeks off the top. #leeks #homegrown #growyourown #growyourownfood #organic #nodig #edibleflowercooks #edibleflowergrows #theedibleflower

NEW RECIPE: Apple, Cabbage & Caraway Sauerkraut - perfect for using autumn apples and winter veg. A few people asked for this recipe after our Oktoberfest Supper Club so I’ve put it up on the blog - see link in bio. Making sauerkraut is much easier than many people think, it is basically just a mixture of finely chopped or grated vegetables mixed with salt (1-2% of the total weight of chopped vegetables) and then left to ferment. The sugar is optional, it will ferment without it, but I think it makes for a nicer kraut by rounding out the flavours a bit. It’s always good to have some hard, crunchy vegetables in the mix as they keep a bit of texture as they ferment, which is why crunchy white cabbage is so good. Do you make lots of ferments and sauerkraut? Or do they scare you? Let me know if you have a go making this one. #sauerkraut #fermentedfoods #apple #cabbage #caraway #oktoberfest #sauerkrautrecipe #edibleflowercooks #theedibleflower

Pumpkin Gnocchi with @ardmhachashiitake Mushrooms, Sage, Toasted Hazelnuts and lots of butter! Autumn on a plate! I think a version of this will be featuring on one of our Winter supper clubs. #gnocchi #pumpkin #pumpkingnocchi #sage #mushrooms #autumnfood #seasonalfood #edibleflowercooks #theedibleflower

Leg of Pork (from our own pigs) slow cooked with fennel & garlic. We cooked this in our Wood Fired Pizza Oven. Once the fierce heat from pizza cooking has died down it is great for a slow overnight cook. @edibleflowerbrews put it in for 20 minutes earlier in the day, when it was still quite hot (about 280 Celsius) to get the crackling to crackle, then took it out. We let the oven cool for another couple of hours and then popped it in before bed and left it there overnight. Yum! Also these cast iron @nethertonfoundry casseroles are amazing for cooking in the pizza oven! #pork #porkleg #fennel #garlic #slowcook #woodfired #cookingwithfire #smallholder #pizzaoven #edibleflowercooks #theedibleflower
