IT'S CORN 🌽 ~ When the sun comes out, I think of corn! BBQ'd on the cob and dripping with butter...
The dish pictured is a nod to corn and tofu bowl (IYKYK).
It has flavours of lime, garlic, chilli and smoked tofu running through it. Loads of butter of course! Topped with a chipotle sauce using my Mum's (thanks Mama K!!) homemade chipotle paste. Crispy onions and fresh mint to finish 😋
Love this with fresh tortillas as a summery lunch bowl. Plus this will be making an appearance as a side dishes at some upcoming events 👀

SPRING SPECIAL SAAG HALLOUMI/TOFU ~ This saag is spiced with green chilli and garam masala, creamy with coconut milk, fragrant with wild garlic, zingy with lemon zest. And peas, because why not (I love peas!) 🫛
I make this with halloumi (image 1) by the wonderful or tofu (image 3), and am currently enjoying it as a midweek tea with rice or roti (or both!) and a few pink pickles on top! 😋

SIBS LOVE ~ From throwing chairs at each other, stealing each other's belongings or ignoring each other at school, my two amazing sisters and are my best pals and inspirations!
I love how we bond over food and cooking and all those beautiful moments in between! I love how we have each centred our lives around food in different yet intersecting ways!
The biggest lesson that these two have taught me is that beauty lies in nuance and our respective differences as much as the foundations we share.
BIG love to Bex and Beth for always being there through all life's changes and chapters... and to .shindler and for sticking by us when we hated or ignored or threw said chairs at each other 😉

SQUASH, BLACK BEAN & BAHARAT STEW ~ 🤗 is there anything more comforting than a levelled-up one pot?! This stew is a classic in my house!
Fragrant with baharat spices, decadent with extra virgin olive oil and green olives, sweet from oranges & hearty with beans and squash 🫒
This dish is part of my freezer meal collection. I love freezer meals for SO many reasons... delicious meals that save time, headspace and mental load, served anyway you like with whatever you have in your store cupboard, so good for stopping food waste and locking in nutrients of veg across the seasons! (Bracing myself for the annual rhubarb glut!! 🤗)
I've served with brown rice and coriander here, but I've also enjoyed with other herbs, sometimes flatbreads or sourdough to mop up the sauce! 🌿
Shop link in the bio if you'd like this for your tea!

CHOCOLATE MOMENTS 🍫 ~ It was a joy to cook for a super friendly and lively group at the and retreat in the Lake District last weekend. Thanks so much for an epic weekend everyone!!
These folks didn't need chocolate to bring high energy and good vibes 😉 but I still wanted them to have a taste each day. Here's some chocolate-based treats that I made:
1 - Coconut Chocolate Truffles
2 - Berry Chocolate Tart
3 - Chocolate, Date & Macadamia Cups
4 - Not choc, but pure joy!
Which one do you fancy?! / Too hard on the edible flowers?!

HELLO to my new followers. It's probably about time I introduced myself 👋
I’m Anna, founder and chef at Food with View. I love making seasonal vegetarian and plant-based food, often rooted in my food memories of connection, comfort and joy! 🌞
We offer catering for events and special occasions as well as 'everyday' kind of food... in the form of buffets, freezer meals, feasts you can heat up at home, pop-ups and more!
I also enjoy writing a blog about women on the Leeds food scene which is where the name 'Food with View' came from ✍️
Food was always a huge part of my upbringing and I started cooking for a living in 2017 when me and set up . We travelled to markets, festivals, restaurant pop-ups and eventually ran a cafe space at (swipe to see a younger me from the street food / market days!).
Since leaving the market and doing my 'Sustainable Cities' Masters in 2021, I've been reframing how I want to show up as a caterer in my community. I don't think that journey will ever end... nor is it supposed to! And that's how I find meaning in what I do on the good days as much as the hard ones! 🌱
Food with View HQ now runs from my home kitchen in Meanwood, Leeds where we are SO lucky to have decent locally grown food and community nearby e.g. allotments, , , to name just a few. Hope my landlord never boots me out 🙏
I choose to cook 100% veggie and lots of plant-based food for my business because I believe it's an ethical and accessible way to cook on mass, especially when combined with seasonal, high-quality, less-travelled ingredients. It's also how I personally enjoy eating most of the time!
If you'd like to know more, check out the links in my bio or feel free to get in touch! 🤗
