I often feel the generation gap between my dad and I.\u00a0 My dad is 43 years older than me – he grew up during the war, I grew up in the seventies and eighties.\u00a0 We see each other regularly, but I often fell that gap in the conversations we have – we do different things, have different experiences and views (and I don\u2019t think he quite gets what I do for a living!)<\/p>\n
But in recent times I\u2019ve found a subject that we are both passionate about and can talk for hours on – food.\u00a0 Although when I was growing up I don\u2019t think I appreciated it, I think a lot of my (and my brother\u2019s) passion for food came from my parents.\u00a0 And now, I am really appreciating my dad\u2019s knowledge, insight and experience on food.<\/p>\n
Granted, he\u2019ll cook his meat and veg much more than I do, and there\u2019s quite a few foods that I love that he wouldn\u2019t touch, but we have so many food interests in common.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be talking about seasonal food, my dad will tell me when and where he got (bought, found and caught) his food from when you had no choice but to eat seasonally.\u00a0 I\u2019ll talk about the latest trends, he\u2019ll remind me that many of those trends are rooted in traditional techniques.\u00a0 And I\u2019m still learning recipes and techniques that I don\u2019t think can be beaten.<\/p>\n
On that note, at a recent get-together he took along a large batch of his infamous piccalilli, which of course was incredibly well received by all the guests.\u00a0 Many asked for the recipe which I\u2019ve now managed to get off of him – so watch out for that recipe on this blog soon…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
