There's nothing more satisfying than popping out into the garden, picking some things from the patch and cooking with them straight away. Today's pick was zucchini (which we are currently consuming for breakfast, lunch and dinner!), zucchini flowers and shiso, also known as perilla. Not really a fan of purple things but this purple shiso I'm learning is a very versatile little leaf. I brought a seedling last year to give it a go, let it seed and this year it's self seeded - love it. Paired with a few eggs from mums chooks, my favourite chorizo curado (the real stuff) and some sour cream makes a killer tortilla served hot right out of the pan or chilled and served the following day.
