Taco Tuesday: A Seat Into Our Kitchen

1 comment

  Taco Tuesday: It used to be a religious date in our diaries that we were always available for. Sometimes there is just less time and our schedules are all out of balance, until someone sets a date that can no longer be rescheduled and everyone is summoned by that food-related calling. It's be there or be hungry! 
It's like setting a date for a wedding, no excuse is great enough you simply have to be there.  I would compare it to a birthday but count on me to be thinking of a million reasons why my bed sounds more of a fitting option than going out... woops...ahhh sorry friends.

The Recipe -  Guacamole 
Avocado's 
Tomato's (Firm)
Lime
Red Onion
Parsley
Olive Oil
Sea Salt 


by - Welly 





Hh-


How To? Using a chef's knife finely cut your onion, tomato's and parsley into small pieces, the smaller, the better. 
We don't want no lumpy bits all in our precious guac. Cut your avocado in half (firm avo's only) and scoop into a large bowl.

What are the benefits to avocado you ask? 

It's very good for your skin, the Omega-9 help reduce redness
The Antioxidants in it help repair the skin, irritation and damaged skin cells
They contain more potassium than Banana's which helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels
The levels of healthy fats within Avocado's aids in increasing the value of nutrients and antioxidants you absorb in plant based foods.
It's all good eating nutritious foods but it's even better when you can yield more benefits from it, so add a avocado to the weekly shop!






Hh-


How To? Once scooped into the bowl you then want to add the rest of your ingredients to the mix, lightly dressing it with olive oil, salt and lime juice. 
Welly Says: Don't skimp on the lime or salt as it cuts through the fat of the meat. Make sure you deseed the tomatoes otherwise it will be watery!

- Thanks Welly


Hh-


Hangry by now? Stare into each others souls questioning yourself, your life and their life...wondering if the food will ever be ready?! This is why you buy the chips and dips to keep you going....but no one bought the chips or dips so you can continue to question life after this.....

Pulled Pork: Made by Peju Obasa.  She's keeping this recipe a secret, I guess she's opening her restaurant soon...we pray *throws hands up* 
Until then her tip on cooking Pulled Pork is to cook on low heat for as along as possible, not only does it intensify the 'flavour fav' in her words it will makes it easier to shred. - thank you Pegs!






Mm-


Mix is well, get that fork and really churn that goodness together. No half-hearted business, this is not just any food this is food made with love.







Tt-


The Soft Taco's are from Marks & Spencer's each pack contains 8 tacos, you can heat them in them in the microwave or the oven for 2mins max..  




Aa-


The Assembly is everything!, it matters so much. There can only be one winner and it wasn't me, this was Peju's :( 
For the perfect assembly grab your taco shell, layer it with cheese and when you do put it into the microwave/oven so it melts into it nicely.
Then add your sweet peppers so the juices collapse into z'bread, 
Next you want to get real and serious by topping it with your pulled pork sent from heaven 
The Guac' attack! Don't be shy or modest there is more than enough to go round! Lastly top it off with sour cream and parsley because your fancy and you need it to look boujee for picture sake.  - You is  welcome.

Burberry AW17: Makers House

Leave a Comment
The Exhibition at Makers House home to the Henry Moore Foundation opened a week after the Burberry fashion show. The exhibition featured a display of 78 couture capes that was introduced on the runway for AW17. These capes were inspired by the scale and form of Henry Moore's sculpture.
The exhibition screened the Fashion show, the collection and the creative process.
It is unfortunately closed now, I have no doubt they will reinstall a exhibition that coincides with their coming collection for SS18.

Designers - Over the last two years I've noticed a rise of designers open up their art into our worlds. Chanel took over The Saatchi Gallery to host their exhibition 
'Mademoiselle Prive'. It was spaced over three floors, carrying the charm, personality and many wonders of Chanel. 
Louis Vuitton who delivered us the  LV Series 3, taking over 180 Strand to unveil the inspiration of their catwalk show. CEO Michael Burke of LV said 'This isn't a Vuitton lesson. I just want them to be able to feel it.' It's becoming more prominent for brands to create and encapsulate an emotional interconnection between the brand and the consumer. It's a creatives journey into the artist world; a compilation of  history, influence and untold stories that are shared in a personal way, as intended. This is the second exhibition from Burberry following their collection, why I enjoy this and other exhibitions in similar fashion is that fashion shows can be a few minutes if that; whats's wonderful is to be able to see different aspects of the collection from sketches to garments. To have more than a moment to journey through the minds behind such a special collection.

Peju is a forthcoming Womenswear and Knitwear designer based in London. She's a brilliant cook, so talented & very creative check her IG out her feed is dope. Enough, enough here is her take on the Exhibition: 
The curation of exhibiting was visually captivating - celebrating Henry Moore's beautiful sculptures along side the excellent show of craftsmanship from the structured intricacy of the Burberry AW17 collection. It was truly inspiring to see the collection and its ideas/development showcased in the same space as the show.

Breakfast Bowl: Homemade Granola & Baked Pears

Leave a Comment

For Breakfast: I made Homemade Granola & Baked Pears. I often enjoy the mix of a refreshing breakfast with warm comforts. 
I was reading a post on Martha Stewart the other day about pears being underrated, you tend to hear 'underrated' when discussing a artist or a designer but not food haha. Anyway there was a simple recipe on the website for baked pears and it inspired me to do the rest.
The nice thing about pears is that it has a subtle-sweet taste to it. You can use this recipe and pair it with a a dip, a savoury meal or use it as I have.
