Spiced squash and fennel with tahini dressing

Posted on 22 Days Ago by Marguerite

It’s that time of year again, where the pumpkins heyday is overtaken by the squashes’. Don’t just stick to the butternut, brothers and sisters! Be adventurous, try acorn squash in a soup, mash a hubbard, or twizzle some spaghetti squash around your forks. Continue…

Don't just stick to the butternut brothers and sisters! Be adventurous and try acorn squash in a soup, mash a hubbard, or twizzle some spaghetti squash around your forks. Even better, roast a kabocha squash with some fennel and spices, drizzle over a tahini dressing, and voila! What better way to feed hungry stomachs after a bit of wild swimming in the Lake District?!

Black and white, pink and white, purple and white, some forgetting the white altogether - barlotti beans. #gfw_sept3 #igphotoproject_gfw #food #foodie #instafood #foodphotography
Beautiful aged meats hanging colourfully in the Tuscan deli's.
This is the last one... I promise. Absolutely love making afternoon teas, not only the coming together of a cake or a ganache meringue, but the coming together of all the cakes and sandwiches, the beautiful china (not mine sadly!), the flowers, and finally the people. That's probably the same reason I love picnics too. This particular afternoon tea consisted of lemon and raspberry cupcakes with a lemon curd and mascarpone icing, chocolate powder puffs (amazing! Thank you @ottolenghi for that recipe), chocolate meringues with choc ganache, plain meringues with whipped cream and raspberry jam, cucumber sandwiches with cream cheese, and egg mayo finger sandwiches. . . . . #afternoontea #hightea #sweettooth #sweet #cake #baking #homebaking #privatecook #homecook #meringue #chocaholic #chocolate #chocolatelab #fingersandwiches #holidayfun #teatime #tea #foodphotography #foodporn #foodgasm #foodphotograph #recipe #foodblogger #eatingfortheinsta #eatyourheartout #instafood
Chocolate ganache sandwiched between chocolate meringues, popped in the fridge for an hour to simultaneously harden the ganache and slightly soften the meringues, then placed on pretty pink plates and gobbled up. . . . . . #chocolate #chocolatemeringue #afternoontea #hightea #chocolatelab #chocaholic #meringue #specialoccasion #eatingfortheinsta #eatinscotland #scotland #eatyourheartout #indulgence #instafood #foodie #foodphotography #foodphotograph #foodporn #foodgasm #sweettooth #sweet
Some people (like myself a few years ago) think that thinly sliced cucumber for a traditional cucumber sandwich is the way to go. They're wrong. A good cucumber sandwich needs bite (and a bit of cream cheese)
