Wholemeal sourdough

Starter

This is my sourdough starter. Its just over two months old. I made it using just wholemeal flour and water, none of that alchemical dark art stuff using this flour and that flour, raisins and rhubarb. A little patience, a regular feed,  et voila!

Beetroot hummus

Beetroot &walnut hummus. I used Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's recipe

Beetroot hummus - its not exactly a signature dish, is it? And yet it is what came to mind when I was looking for a name for this food blog. Beetroot hummus - a simple, colourful, tasty dish made with a humble root vegetable given a middle eastern twist.

Beetroot hummus is about falling in love with food again. Its about the simple joy a weekly organic veg box brings; its about baking your own sourdough bread twice a week; its about enjoying and sharing simple vegetarian food.

It is written for the fun and catharsis that writing it brings. You cannot take a blog called Beetroot hummus too seriously. Beetroot hummus. Its about what shapes our lives and how we are to live. Beetroot hummus. Not afraid of contradictions.

Beetroot hummus - (not) just a food blog.
