There are so many little ways in which this beautiful post resonates with me. Thank you for writing it. And especially for that last author's note at the end.
‘I instead write the lists, keep tabs on the pantry and wrack my brain for new recipes when we are sick of the old.’ ..... this is the beating heart of food prep labour. emotional, reproductive, invisible, whatever you want to call it, it’s hard, hard work and is such a gift to those around you. going to shop and doing the cooking is lightened *so* much by having a person who does this part. i really enjoyed reading about you and your partner’s working together for food joy. inspiring :)
Not heard of Ras el Hanout before, but looks similar to some of my diy spice mixes (garam masala etc). The cardamom’s are a great addition to any mix. They give a kind of citrus boost without fruit to my tastebuds, but perhaps that’s just me.

Thank you so much Kavita
How good is this essay? I just became a paid subscriber. Now if only I have the strength to roll out the puff pastry in my refrigerator.
You could always try it with filo pastry instead perhaps. Kind of samosa style?
enjoyed this so much, thank you.
