The Norfolk Foodie Series

by Samantha Mattocksupdated on October 6, 2021June 20, 2020 Leave a Comment on The Norfolk Foodie Series

With lockdown resulting in all horse shows around the world being on a pause, and printing of The Arabian Breeders’ Magazine on hold for the time being, I have had the luxury of time to explore other avenues in my life. One of these has been a long-held desire to conduct a series of interviews …

  • It is time to turn over a new page as we are now in the month of June. This year is truly flying by! 

I am not sure where the sun has gone as it's been grey here in Norfolk for days now, but that doesn't stop me enjoying the beauty of nature all around me. 

My June will see deadlines come to an end and creative time return; watch this space, as there is exciting news ahead!

Have a lovely month, and let me know your plans are. I look forward to catching up with some of you in person. Samantha x

  • Life has been somewhat busy of late, but one thing I try to do everyday is take a photograph. Something that catches my eye, something that makes me smile, or an important milestone that day. I hope you enjoy this small selection. Happy Thursday xx

  • Pure nostalgia... 

I just went to the garage and there was a doorway to my childhood in the form of a Fry's peppermint cream bar. My nanna used to buy these, and I can almost hear the original foil wrapper being undone before she would slice the bar into pieces to make it easier to eat.

I have always loved dark chocolate and peppermint, and I suspect that all comes from my childhood days, when I enjoyed a bar of Fry's peppermint cream, laid out on a plate, and shared with my darling nanna. I do miss her... 🧡

  • I am slowly recovering from jetlag and feeling slightly more ready to celebrate the Coronation than I did yesterday. Here's our version of red, white, and blue - delicious @thecornishcompany scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream enjoyed alongside the new vintage @flintvineyard Charmat Rosé, which is an absolute delight and perfect for this weekend and the sunshine today. 

Cheers, Long Live the King!
  • Have a wonderful Coronation weekend, everyone. Bubbly with a chance of scone? It's definitely my kind of forecast!

  • Time to leave California and head home for the Coronation of King Charles III! What an incredible two weeks it has been - and the time has absolutely flown by. I have loved working on this project - food + writing, what could be better! - and am now ready for the heady challenges May has ready to throw at me. 

These photos are just a taste of my time in the States - there is so much more to come! 

And @mistermishkins I'll be home soon! 

Love Samantha xx

  • I am over in California working on a project for a client. Full on days, but the rewards of bruised purple blueberry shots such as this make it worth it. #lucky
