Food

What we eat, drink, and keep in the pantry.

Ingredients we reach for more than once, recipes we go back to, and the people who grow and make what ends up on the table.

Pantry

A sourdough starter, kept alive for three years.

It's been fed twice a day, travelled between three kitchens, and survived one very close call in a fridge that got unplugged for a weekend. It's called Beryl. This is what we've learned from keeping her alive.

Things we cook more than once

What we're drinking this month

Nothing here is a permanent product line — just what's in the fridge and cupboard right now.

Ginger kombucha

Brewed in small batches by a producer two towns over. Sharp, not sweet.

Loose rooibos

Unblended, from a single farm in the Cederberg. No flavouring needed.

Cold-brew, no sugar

Steeped for eighteen hours. We've stopped needing anything in it.

The people growing and making what we carry

A grower in an olive grove

The grower behind our olive oil

A single estate in Sicily, harvested by hand every October.

Beehives in a field

The beekeeper behind our honey

Forty hives, moved twice a year to follow what's flowering.

Salt pans at low tide

Where our salt is harvested

Hand-raked from shallow pans on the West Coast, dried in the open air.

A short list of what's good this week.

One email, roughly weekly, with what we're eating, buying, and cooking.
