I couldn't help but notice this weekend the abundance of colour, in particular purple. It's one of the colours in food I can't help but get drawn to, along with red - (which like birds they are more acutely sensitive to the purples and reds of berries and fruits in the wild). It's not just blanket colour too - purple is featuring as streaks, patterns and mottling on a whole host of seasonal vegetables. My favourites are pictured, as they are so vivid and interesting. Part of me wants to paint a still life and admire them for their intensely hued beauty, the other part wants to cook them and layer those colours with flavours and textures.
Steven, delicious photos!! Borlotti beans are my favourite savoury dish in the world, since childhood. It is a stape that is often used in Yugosalvia where I was born and spent my first years. I still cook them, dry most of the year and then in summer when the fresh is available I do the Chilean version, I love them both ways. Vida x
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos (again). DO you really take them all yourself?
ReplyDeleteThankyou Vida - you most post up a few of your Borlotti Bean recipes so that I can give them a try, especially the Chilean version.. X
ReplyDeleteHi Anthony,
ReplyDeleteYes, all the photography on here is my own - I guess somewhere along the line I am a frustrated photographer...to be honest all I do is see things then shoot..will be at Borough tomorrow shopping for a Thanksgiving dinner I'm hosting with a friend, so I'll be snapping away again.
