We will stay on Crete for two months. After some days of folding into myself it is time to explore more, to fold outwards, to map this place across feet & stomach & heart. This morning, foraging along rocky coastlines with a friend I am introduced to sea fennel (I’ve since learned that this is samphire!) and wild thyme. Samphire is a revelation – a burst in the mouth, fresh and slightly sharp like lemon with salt, and a gentle aniseed aftertaste. Thyme is my favourite herb – she grows in abundance all across this island and will feature in much of my cooking while here. #foraging
Earlier foraging finds transformed into today’s meal: front is rice, thyme, roasted chestnuts & pomegranate; back is tomato, samphire, olive oil, salt, pepper. Andy’s making peppers stuffed with feta and things to go with it. #foraging #herbs #freshflavours #pomegranate #seafennel #momentsofmine #lifeisart #vanlifeeurope #amcreating #homeiswhereyouparkit #plantbased #aspiringvegan #vanlife #vanfood
