After a long Sunday under the summer sun at Highbury Farmers’ Market, we came home carrying more than empty crates.

The scent of Vietnamese apricot wine, fragrant kefir lime, bright citrus, and ruby hibiscus became our reward for a day spent feeding our community.

A glass that tastes of warm evenings, distant memories, and the landscapes of Vietnam.

Perhaps every market day should end like this.

Perhaps this belongs on the Canary Food Lab menu.

A little journey from Vietnam, poured into a glass.

The Perfect Comfort Bowl ✨
Some people seek therapy; I just braise pork belly until it whispers poetry. 🥢✨
There is a quiet, soulful alchemy in a bowl like this. Hours of slow-simmering turned humble ingredients into pure, melt-in-your-mouth magic. The rich, savory warmth of the pork, the jammy perfection of a deeply soy-marinated egg, and those tender slices of radish soaking up every bit of the story the broth had to tell.
It’s cozy. It’s deeply nostalgic. It’s the culinary equivalent of a heavy blanket on a rainy day...And yes, I will be thinking about this first bite for the next three business days. Leftovers? Never heard of them. 🤫❤️

Some dishes feed people.
Some dishes tell a story.

Vietnamese summer rolls are quiet poetry wrapped in rice paper.

Every single roll begins long before the hands start rolling. Herbs are washed carefully leaf by leaf. Carrots are julienned into fine threads. Cucumbers sliced with precision. Pickles balanced between sweet, sour, and salt. Vermicelli cooked gently. Lettuce kept crisp. Proteins prepared separately. Sauces blended patiently.

So many ingredients.
So much preparation.
So much time for something eaten in just a few bites.

The funny thing is — all of these ingredients could easily become a salad bowl. Faster. Easier. More profitable. Toss everything together and serve in minutes.

But summer rolls are different.

They demand intention.

Each rice paper wrapper must be softened at the perfect moment. Too dry and it cracks. Too wet and it tears. Then comes the delicate layering — herbs first, then noodles, vegetables, pickles, protein, colour, texture, balance. Finally, two careful hands roll everything tightly together like wrapping a small edible gift.

And then repeat.
Again.
And again.
One by one.

There is no shortcut to a beautiful summer roll.

That is why this dish deserves recognition not just as food, but as craftsmanship. An artisan creation. A celebration of patience, freshness, and human touch.

In a world obsessed with speed, summer rolls remind us that some things are worth taking time for.

Growing up in Vietnam, the smell of pâté baking meant one thing:
Bánh mì was coming.

Today, I made it from scratch.
Slowly. Properly. With patience.

Liver, spice, warmth, memory — baked until golden and deeply fragrant.

No factory tubs. No shortcuts.
Just real flavour.

Every bánh mì from Canary Food Lab carries this layer of care.

If you know, you know.

My new winter pickling magic ✨
Inspired by Ô Mai from Vietnam — those deep, tangy fermented plums that taste like childhood and New Year gatherings. I layered fresh ribbons of veg with cinnamon, citrus peel, chilli flakes, and chunks of plum, then bathed everything in a raw apple cider vinegar + honey brine.

Sweet heat. Warm spice. Sharp brightness.
A little jar of winter sunshine to cut through the cold.
Perfect with roast meats, cheese boards, rice bowls… or just straight from the jar.

My ultimate comfort bowl tonight: silky, sinful mash inspired by Joël Robuchon, topped with my Vietnamese-style red wine beef stew, drowned in rich sauce and finished with a jungle of coriander + spring onions.

On the side? My homemade Đà Lạt apricot wine — bright, clean, the perfect palate reset after every buttery bite. Pure soul food after a long day.

Chinese Poached Pear with red dates (jujube), goji berries, dried tangerine peel, ginger, and longan. Would you make it for winter?

It’s sweet, soothing, anti-inflammatory, and deeply comforting — perfect for flu, cough, fatigue, or when you simply need gentle nourishment.

This bowl reminds me that healing doesn’t have to be harsh. Sometimes it’s warm, fragrant, and quietly powerful. 🌿🍐🧡
