A Cool Foodie Founder Shares Her Weekly Shop

Kefir: I have a glass of kefir every single day – I genuinely can’t get enough of it. We get ours delivered with the milk twice a week, which feels like one of those slightly unnecessary indulgences I’ll never give up. There’s something very wholesome about having a local milkman in London, and it feels nostalgic as my grandad was a milkman.

Parmesan: You might assume we’d have had enough of cheese given how much pizza we eat daily but absolutely not. Parmesan goes on everything in our house – pasta, omelettes, salads, soups. We even keep the rinds to cook into pasta sauces for extra depth. It’s one of those ingredients that just makes everything taste better.

Eggs: I love eggs, their simplicity, versatility and how comforting they are. We’ve just come back from Copenhagen, so at the moment I’m deep into recreating the simple breakfast plates we ate there: softly boiled eggs, good bread, butter and maybe some cheese or blueberry jam.

Courgettes: I love how versatile courgettes are – I’ll add them to omelettes for a quick lunch, grate them raw into salads, cook them down into pasta sauces or roast them. My current favourite is a courgette and butter bean recipe from Mob – it’s simple, comforting and perfect for midweek dinners.

Grapes: Hands down, my favourite fruit. When I get home from a shift, all I want is a bowl of grapes – sometimes stirred into yoghurt, sometimes mixed into cereal. They’re refreshing, sweet and feel like the perfect snack after a shift when I get home.

Lemons:  I always keep a few lemons in the kitchen as they always come in handy. I’ll zest them into a simple midweek prawn pasta, use the juice to marinate Sunday roast chicken or simply add to a tea with ginger.

Dried Dates: I love a good date, either in my smoothies or overnight oats, with peanut butter for a quick snack or used on the rare occasions I'll make my own granola.
