Aston'S Bakehouse

Warming thoughts by @shisodelicious Sourdough with tofu mushroom kale scramble on repeat … Winter has me craving all the hot stuff on toast – something I can eat within ten minutes, keeps me full for hours and doesn’t cool my body down! 🌧️❄️ Today we are @thefoodmarketchiswick @hornimanmuseumgardens @londonfarmers #walthamstow #earlscourt @hernehillmarket . If you follow me on stories you’ll have seen me cooking up countless versions of this kind of one-pan meal. The bread is... grabbed from the freezer, already sliced and ready to toast! . By the way: Just a few months ago I would never have posted such a ‘plain’ picture. But recently I have let go of some of my perfectionism .. it feels more important to share what I actually do and eat, more often, not just the occasional perfectly curated image .. ;) Hope you like. I do :) . Tofu scramble: . 🍄Fry 2-3 button mushrooms, crushed or roughly chopped . 🍅Add a tomato like this black Iberico winter tomato @natoora for some juiciness, halved or chopped . I use either silken (very soft and moist) or medium firm tofu to scramble, topped with a good pinch of kala namak – black sulfurous salt – for eggy umami flavour, and a pinch of turmeric for colour. . 🍳Scramble the tofu just like an egg, just move it around less, so some of its moisture has a chance to evaporate and to let some flavourful ‘surface’ develop. The mushrooms and tomato can be either be pushed to the side at this stage, or everything can be mixed together . 🌿At the end I like adding a big handful ripped kale to the pan to balance the heavier tofu/mushroom/bread combo. Add a splash of water to the hot pan and immediately cover with a lid, to let the kale cook by steaming a minute or so. . Plate @gaya.ceramic . Much love, Sara x #shisodelicious

One more from the @guardianfeast soup supplement, click through for the recipe. Starting to crave pale green springy things (even if the peas are still from the freezer) but still need the warmth of a soup. And don't forget the crusty bread.

I came across this intriguing grain via @ruby.tandoh's feed, please go and read her essay about seed sharing in memoriam @croydongardener. It is a lovely, thought provoking essay, and ties in with Syd's passion for heritage grains as well. Isn't he handsome?

Quiches in the making!

This is what sourdough looks like when it's working away. How does it turn into the lovely crusty loaf, magic! 📸 By @ralphsmargate

And if you made it home and managed to get dry.... Make this from @guardianfeast Miso mushrooms on toast - @meerasodha's fridge forage turns into an idea snack. 📷 @louisehagger

I know, I know, cheesy. But we all like cheesy bread, right? Love to all of our lovely customers and markets and faeries from all of us in Aston's ❤️

Thank you for mentioning us! @shisodelicious Weekend shopping haul – wintery, UK-grown veggies from my organic farmers’ market @growingcommunities, some out of season/exotics (tomato, ginger) and a top-up of packaged essentials from one of my local whole food shops @harvestn16 🌱 . To keep my shopping as minimal plastic/low footprint as possible, I have no choice but to deal with a few things .. 🤔 - reducing some of my food variety is one of them. Which may sound like horror t...o a modern, privileged person with a world of foods at her fingertips.. 😁😉 . Well to be honest, I’ve always been a fussy eater – going through phases of not eating this, or that – so, well, this is not much different! 😆🧐 . My motivation to remove certain foods (or make them into ‘occasionals’) has shifted from only being about my personal health to also include the health of our environment and our future as a whole 🌍🥰 . That’s the difference. And that keeps me motivated to make those pretty small sacrifices, because you know what? I’m extremely lucky as it is, anyway :) I’m not perfect, but I’d be really unhappy unless I try to do what I can, from where I am ❤️ .

Because I feel the challa doesn't get enough attention amongst all the sourdough here is some inspiration from @rozkoszny 🇵🇱⬇️ . . .... . Home sweet home. Starting the day with the best thing that Poland has to offer: farmer cheese twaróg. A slightly toasted slice of challah, buttered lavishly, and topped with the cheese and honey. A sprinkle of dried rose petals for a final touch.
