Jeg fortæller jer alt for lidt om det jeg laver til daglig på kokkeskolen (noget med at adskille arbejdsliv og resten af livet, jeg ikke er helt afklaret med). Men i dag arbejdede vi i en gastronomklasse med mine favorit-råvarer: flerårige grøntsager. Som fx den her smuksak - etiolerede strandkål. Råvarer man gerne bare vil blanchere helt kort, måske grille hårdt, vende i marinade og servere fuldstændig som den er.

Caucasian spinach (Hablitzia) uprooted and washed. You can see the tiny shoot buds at the base. That tells you how the plant manages to make a new flush of shoots when you eat the first. At this stage and for the next month or so, depending on location of the plant, they are really delicious spring green. We're entering the time of year when our annual food system is the most poor (hungry gap) and the perennial greens are the most lush. It's a no brainer that we should grow more of those. #Hablitzia #perennialvegetables #gardening #hungrygap
The Spring sun is out. This signifies the transition from #DumpsterDiving season to #Foraging season. Traditionally the gap between these seasons was called the #HungryGap and people would fill the gap by dumpsterdiving and foraging inside the shops and supermarkets where good produce could still be pocketed

I know it's supposed to be #HungryGap time of the year, but we've just managed to eat the first of this year's asparagus and the last of last year's purple sprouting broccoli in the same meal.

(Oh and far from the last of last year's potatoes)

Soaking the last kilo or so of the beans from last summer. Our "smurf village" (three families) has grown, so I need to plant more beans and peas this year in order for us to be #selfsufficient with less of a #hungrygap. This batch will be baked beans according to Atomic Shrimp's recipe.

Nine tomatoes for £15? How the very basics became more expensive than oysters

Welcome to the ‘hungry gap’ – the time of year when salad days are months away, and there simply isn’t enough food. To confront this in 2023 forces a reckoning, writes Zoe Williams
