Ok dudes, one of your 5 a day.
Banana, full of potassium.
But this is a boomerang, check this out.
Ready boys.
Yeah baby, that's how we do it!
It's Tuesday today and it's a nice day today, a really nice day.
I do have a strange job because I could be literally doing anything, it normally involves cooking or food.
In some way, shape or form obviously.
But I'm at my home in Essex which is the village I grew up in.
And we're doing a magazine shoot.
Probably a lot of you don't know we have a magazine, beautiful magazine.
It's been going for about 5 years.
And I've never really pushed it or spoken about it much.
I like to let people find it.
So we are shooting all the international covers today.
Which normally involves me prancing around holding different vegetables or dishes.
Trying to shoot for the magazine.
But it's nice to be at home today, should be fun.
Julie's just turned up who is employed purely to take care of that.
I've got the most mental hair on the planet.
It's like a wild animal that needs to be tamed.
Got that for my Mrs Christmas present, she likes Elvis.
And it turns on and it's got lights.
Just thought I'd tell you that.
Alright fair enough.
I don't normally have hairspray in my hair.
It's not a normal part of my regime.
You look like a new man.
I do, I look like I've had a bloody good wash.
Yeah just making the first cover dish.
Doing a lovely simple ramen with a beautiful smashed walnut miso paste.
Lots of greens, little sesame fried eggs you can see those going there.
Very, very quick. It's a brilliant fast food dinner meal.
People love ramen at the moment.
And you can start to get a lot more choice of misos at the supermarket these days.
So cabbage is probably one of the cheapest vegetables right, you can get them everywhere.
And everyone is going mad for kimchi at the moment which is brilliant.
So many different types of kimchi and that whole fermenting thing is really really good.
But if you want to get that vibe in seconds just shred a load of cabbage,
get some of this hot chilli sauce you can get everywhere.
squeeze it over, get a pinch of salt and lime juice
and just scrunch it and ruin it,
and it makes an immediate quick, cheat sort of pickle.
It's delicious.
Smashed up walnuts for the miso paste.
Really really good.
And that's just going to thicken, you know the cooking water from boiling the greens.
And then you just get your chopsticks in, mix up the miso in to the broth.
And that is a beautiful thing.
Rosehips, ok you get this from pretty much every rose plant.
From here, that's where the flies come in so you've got about three weeks when it's clean
and you can make the most incredible cordials, jams out of it.
And they're massively packed full of vitamin C
Seriously there is a method to eat them, tip of our teeth, eat down and you will see that there's pips in there.
Now I'll come on to those in a minute.
So good, so good.
Now inside are these seeds.
That is itching powder.
It's like strawberries, raspberries and a little bit of bubblegum.
How many things do you know that are good for you, taste delicious, you can cook a million things from
and you've got itching powder.
