Cavolo Nero, Pear & Vegan Bree

Cavolo Nero, Pear & Vegan Bree

Massaged cavolo nero is one of those quiet revelations. The salt softens it, deepens it, turns something robust into something almost silky, with just enough bitterness left to be interesting.

Ripe pear alongside it, toasted pecans for warmth, a clean vinegar dressing to sharpen the edges. And Honestly Tasty Bree... soft, white-rinded, with that yielding creamy centre, torn in generous pieces and tucked through the leaves. A little more autumnal in spirit, but honestly good any time the mood calls for something a tad more considered.
