Blackberry and Sloe Gin Sorbet

Allah Misses You

Apples and Pears from the Orchard

I’m overwhelmed with apples and pears at the moment. My challenge is that I don’t eat very many crumbles, pies, cakes or chutneys. I just don’t have a sweet tooth. Inspired by Carl Legge, I will definitely have a go at making apple cider vinegar (salads and cole ...

Food Discovery: Wine Jelly

Sourdough Buckwheat Pancakes

In the last few months I’ve been practising making sourdough bread. This involves keeping a starter around that I feed from time to time with flour and water. A loaf of bread only takes a few tablespoons of starter to bake, so I end up with lots of ...

it is only possible to know the truth if you are in a state of continuous (divine) remembrance, if you are always awake

1. But it is necessary that you learn about zikr, for it is only possible to know the truth if you are in a state of continuous (divine) remembrance, if you are always awake. - The spiritual guide, Hamid of Reshad Feild, as shared in his spiritual...

Following are a selection from the Malfuzat (wisdom sayings) of Hazrat Pir Sayyid Jamaat Ali Shah, may Allah sanctify his soul's secret. If the Name of Allah is uttered even once with the tongue, it is the dhikr (remembrance) of the tongue; if Allah ...

Puffball Mushrooms

Last Wednesday I went for a walk in the fields and came across three gleaming white little puffball mushrooms, each about the size of a golf ball. I’ve found them before, and even picked a few, but never had the ambition to actually do anything with them. However, ...

A Wedding on the Edge

Ocean, a poem Mary Oliver I am in love with Ocean lifting her thousands of white hats in the chop of the storm, or lying smooth and blue, the loveliest bed in the world. In the personal life, there is always grief more than enough, a heart load ...
