Melissa Kelly of Primo is one of my favorite potager garden chefs. Food is a territory we should not let moral weights encroach on- it’s our job to find inspiration and foodstuffs that don’t require rarity and dollars- that gives everyone opportunity to make their choices of how to invest. Great post!

I so agree Ellen. We have too much else to weigh us down to let morality be the robber of joy 🥰

A great piece, Elizabeth. It does feel very hard to find that balance. And I also agree on the judgment issue you bring up.

Thank you dear Shell. It really is something I’ve been thinking about for a while now and I so appreciate how other writers are approaching this very real issue.

Thank you, dear Elizabeth. I am touched and humbled by your words. I am a fan of Naomi Duguid, so being in her company and endorsed by you feels wonderful.

I think that talking about beauty and spreading joy whilst being fully aware of our privilege is a tough act. But providing that kind of balance to all the horrors of our world is so important. That's how we resist.

The warm soup time is already here. I am always up for some sunshine in a bowl and will add this recipe to my repertoire.
