I have more redcurrants right now than I know what to do with, so I’m trying them on everything. For dinner today, I made an aubergine, onion, coconut and cashew something that was (according to the recipe) supposed to be served with pomegranate seeds, which I replaced with redcurrants. It came out great; redcurrants are a perfect replacement for pomegranate.

I also discovered that if you photograph food – not ingredients but cooked food – up close enough, it begins to look alien and almost icky. Like insect macros. We never see food at that scale, so it doesn’t look like food any more. You’ll have to trust me when I say that it tasted way better than it looks here.
