The Journal
Notes from the kitchen, the garden, and everywhere in between.
Things we noticed, tried, cooked, or kept coming back to. Updated most weeks, never padded to a schedule.
The maker behind the stoneware bowls.
Ellinor's studio sits behind a greenhouse in the Cape winelands. Every bowl we carry right now came out of the same kiln, on the same afternoon, in a batch of eleven.
