Pea and Chickpea Hummus

4/8/2024

After all the sweet of Easter, a bit of fresh and savoury is definitely welcome.

Is brunch just a weekend treat in your home, or something to enjoy after the morning school run when you don't have time for breakfast?

I eat this on sourdough toast with a fried egg seasoned with Zatar, paprika and crispy fried onions.

Ingredients:
1 tin chickpeas
300g frozen peas
1 garlic clove
juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons of olive oil.
Toast. crackers, veggies to dip, or bread.

Method
Drain the chickpeas
Defrost the peas
Crush the garlic
Blend this with the lemon juice and olive oil, in a food processor and season to taste.
And that's it!
If the mixture seems too stiff add more oil.

A Wedding Breakfast
It was my pleasure to photograph a wedding breakfast created by Colline Watt, owner of Colline's Kitchen recently. With a bubbly and nurturing nature, it's no suprise to me that this mother from Zimbabwe wants to feed us all with delicious, fresh and sustainable food, along with a decadent cake or two, and how typical that, on the first date that weddings were permitted in the UK after lockdown, she got the call and I found her in a pretty garden with spectacular views piling food and flowers on to a table in a high wind, and creating an edible work of art.
Colline's successful cafe business, set in the historic Town Hall in the market town of Newbury has been put on hold since Lockdown in March, but she maintains a service, delivering food as diverse as Afternoon Tea and Mongolian beef stir fry, sourcing fresh ingredients locally.

BUNTING
When Jo, owner of The Bunting Basket asked me to photograph her bunting, I read her bio, and discovered how the business began, and how it came to be named The Bunting Basket. After making bunting for a family christening, Jo was innundated with requests for it from her friends and aqaintances, and she soon began to sell it at craft fairs, carrying her stock in a wicker basket. When I read this, I knew a picnic basket had to feature in my photographs. I looked at the fabric designs, and thought about the premise for the business and then began to prepare my shoot.
