DON’T pull those bolting radish plants just yet! If you let a radish go to seed, it’ll gift you with a whole other harvest—tender, crunchy, spicy seed pods that taste like a cross between a snap pea and a mild radish. One plant can produce dozens of pods. That’s free food from a plant most people would’ve yanked and tossed. We’re over here wasting what other cultures have prized for generations. In Indian cuisine, radish pods—called moongra—have been pickled, stir-fried, and folded into curries for centuries. In Southeast Asia, they show up raw with rice and fermented fish sauce. Eastern Europeans toss them into sour pickles and relishes. Meanwhile in the U.S. most people don’t even know radishes make pods. This is the kind of food wisdom we’ve forgotten—how one humble plant can give roots, greens, flowers, pods, AND seeds. Nature is generous if we pay attention. So save a few pods to dry and sow next season, and enjoy the rest. Toss them into your stir-fries, quick-pickle them, or eat them right off the plant. Zero waste. Full flavor. Old knowledge made new again. . . #naturelovers #beginnergardener #freefood #urbanfarmer 07/26/2025

"First Blood Nectarine" This morning, we have the first Spainish "Royal" blood nectarine of this season. How do they eat? Full of flavour, definitely dripping with juice and with good sugar content. It's probably worthwhile considering waiting a week or so as it's still very early in the season. #100clublml #nectarine #foodblogger #foodlover #foodporn #foodie #foodstagram #londonfoodie #michelinstar #chefstalk #cheflifestyle #chefsoninstagram #cheflife #hospitality #instafood #instachef #newcoventgardenmarket #londonparis #Rungis #michelinguideuk #passion #foodlove 07/26/2025

"Greatest Zucchini In The World?" This stunning Italian heirloom courgette named appropriately "Trumpetta" because of its trumpet shape. Must be a contender with its stunning looks and delicate mid almost sweet flavour. #100clublml #Zucchini #courgette #italianfoodporn #foodlover #foodporn #morningchefs #foodstagram #londonfoodie #michelinstar #chefstalk #cheflifestyle #chefsoninstagram #hospitality #foodlovers #foodlove #passionate #instafood #instachef #newcoventgardenmarket #londonparis #foodie #foodblogger #instagood 07/26/2025

"Green Strawberry" It's not as crazy as it sounds. In fact, it is just an under ripe strawberry. The perfect addition to any summer salad, the flavour well it's citrus tart and really very nice!
