Often our appetite is in sync with the season and the weather of the moment. But sometimes there is more in play than whether the sun is shining and how fluffy the clouds are in the sky.
Today was a perfect Wellington spring day. The kind of day that might make you think of tender spears of asparagus or new season strawberries. Not here. Here comfort food was the order of the day. Fat pork sausages with feta and spinach mash, smothered in bacon, cabbage, cranberry and onion gravy. Followed by apple and cranberry crumble (topped with buttery ground almonds, ground pumpkin and chia seeds.) Whoever said ‘emotional’ eating should be avoided has clearly never had a hug on a plate…and more’s the pity for them.
