Welcome Frens 🏝
Appreciate the surge of new Follows/Subs and look forward dropping plenty more knowledge for you all. To reiterate: There has never been a more important time to control what goes into your body! Seed oils, HFCS, and the myriad of fillers/preservatives in most bought foods now are unavoidable and have a massive negative snowball effect on our health in the longterm. The answer is in feeding yourself using good ingredients, solid techniques, delicious flavor and clean recipes.
That’s what this Substack is all about. The prevailing myth that healthy/clean foods can’t be delicious is laughably false and lazy. Together WAGMI 🚀
Teaser Announcement:
Having built a lot of connections with artisanal producers from my time in high-end dining has opened up a lot of possibilities as Octopod launches into Ecom.
Lots of conversations and developments upcoming, but have one to share with you before the full launch!
Coffee ☕️ has been a huge passion for many years now, and luckily was able to get connected at the beginning of my coffee journey with some great roasters and baristas.
🐙 has officially secured an agreement with an incredibly talented artisan roaster. Will be hand selecting coffees on a monthly rotation to launch a Premium (aka PremiYum) ☕️ Subscription to bring some insanely delicious, high quality ☕️ to your door.
Full launch announcement will be Monday. Had a crazy-fun time cupping over 14 coffees to select the first 2!
Prelude:
The “Life Changing Hummus” drop last week has been well received. I’m glad to see so many putting these recipes into action and enjoying the delicious results!
Today I’m introducing the perfect accompaniment to serve with this hummus for a tasty AF meal. Most people think of hummus purely as a vegetable “dip”. What I hope you can see after this drop, is that hummus makes a delicious blank canvas for a multitude of proteins to build a great, delicious and healthy meal… Enter: Lamb Kofta
Note: Both the hummus and lamb kofta can be made in batches, frozen and then ready on demand to save time.
