Survived nearly two weeks under a blanket of snow. Sooo happy. Dreaming of Violet Cream Filled Cupcakes.... #survivor #spring #violet Juniper Berry & Dark Chocolate Coconut Bars. What a perfect flavour combination! Amazing things can happen when one is snowed in and forced to raid the pantry for sustenance. #whattoeat #snowedin #juniper #coconut #willnotstarve When the landscape outside your window resembles an artic tundra there is nothing better to turn to than warm bread fresh out of the oven. So appropriately, this hearty and flavorful loaf is dedicated to the Roman goddess of ovens, Fornax, whose festival of baking concluded February 17th in a grand "oven feast". And right now it's the perfect culinary magic for combatting the chill! Recipe is up on gathervictoria.com. #snowedin #bread #goddess #baking # foodmagic In Rome and other parts of the ancient world February was a month of purification. This blend of bath salts is filled with aromatic herbs long known for their power to purify & protect: cedar, juniper, eucalyptus, heather, lavender & dash of motherwort. Feels & smells like pure bliss. Going out in Gather Goody Boxes. #february #purify #protect #magicalbathing #sacredbath #relax #bliss #blissful #bathsalts #gatherpatreon An electuary is a herbal medicine made by combining powdered herbs with honey or syrup...in this case a little of both! Wild rose honey and elderberry syrup mixed with raw cacao powder, rose petals, lavender buds, ginger, juniper berry, fennel seeds, dandelion root and medicinal mushroom powder. Makes a wonderful hot chocolate! A teaspoon in my coffee keeps me smiling all day! Lovely in tea too! Going out in Goody Boxes for Gather Patrons. #healingherbs #spoonfulofmedicine #cacao #rose #juniper #gatherpatreon #hotchocolate Dark Chocolate, rose petals, lavender buds, grand fir needles (for candied grapefruit flavour) cacao nibs, almond slices, rose salt and turkey tail mushroom powder. Going out in Gather Patreon Goody Boxes.#medicinalchocolate #moodlifter #darkchocolate #yum #gatherpatreon Oh such a lovely Robbie Burns Night Supper hosted by @jaikman & my brother. Food, decor and company was divine🥂❤ Angelica is a sacred Imbolc sun herb, one of the oldest purification & protection herbs, used to banish illness and negative energies, even the plague! Yet is also one of the most amazing fragrances & flavors equally used in foods, confections, spirits even perfumes. In the fall I harvested some of the root and last week I harvested the crimson stalks for Gather Tonic Syrups for Gather Patreon rewards. #imbolc #healingherbs #tonicsyrup Last nights moon viewing pizza. Adorned with a few of the nearby edibles: crow garlic, miner's lettuce, dandelion, fennel, bittercress, daisy flowers (so delicious!) yarrow,borage flower and calendula petals. #forage #wildgreens #wildfood #pizza Roasted parsnip & carrot soup w/ baby yarrow greens. Yarrow is sprouting up everywhere here in the PNW and its greens have been used as a potherb since the Neolithic.I think its smokey bitter flavour makes a perfect compliment to the slightly sweet root vegetables. Topped with a sprinkle of sheep sorrel & nettle seeds. #yarrow #ancientfood #soup #forage #wildfood #wildgreens #wildfoodlove #heresmyfood #gatherpatreon I know I've posted a pic of this "naked" Imbolc Cake before but this is to let you know the recipe is up on Gathervictoria.com! Sponge cake layers brushed with lavender & rosemary syrup and a Mascarpone Cheese Nettle & Poppy Seed Icing. #imbolcfeast #imbolc #cake #celebrate #gatherpatreon #foodmagic Okay so I put a little too much Whiskey Custard Sauce on this Blackberry Bread Pudding. But I didnt mind! This recipe is now up with a whole lot of others in the Imbolc Edition of Gather's Cookery Book on Gather Victoria Patreon. #nevertoomuch #imbolc #blackberry #irishwhiskey #foodmagic #wildberry #gatherpatreon
