Hi, I’m Lynn. Welcome to Ink Sugar Spice. My day job is graphic design, copywriting and communications. However, I’ve an all encompassing passion for beautiful food and I’d love to share this passion with you. You will also find mindfulness, craft and inspiration posts in here as I am a mental health first aider and a keen advocate of creativity being good for your mental wellbeing.

Butter zopf loaf, with nigella seeds and seaweed flakes. (See in the bread stories for what it looked like pre-bake).

I’m a lucky bunny - I won some Cawston Press drinks and a cute labelled glass. I entered their comp as it’s my favourite non-alcoholic drink (I get bored of only being offered lemonade or cola). Now I’ve said that I have to explain that I’ve ‘adulted’ this one into a rhubarb margarita!

A little trip to @welbeckfarmshop yesterday to scoop up some ingredients, included picking up some smoked garlic. I love the more delicate taste and not having a smoker, I can’t make it myself (I hear it’s quite easy? Does anyone know?). I wonder if you can do it at the end of a BBQ…?

Just a tiny selection of some specialist tools I own. Most of them are second hand, found in bric-à-brac shops, at specialist tool sellers at wild craft festivals. I have a vast proportion of leather tools that I bought secondhand from one single place: sadly someone was selling their recently passed father’s leather tools as they didn’t carry on the profession. They were pleased they’d sold it all to someone who was going to use it all, rather than break it up and sell it all on. I think about the continuation of skills when I use them, like on this little cross body bag.

Quiche Lorraine and sorrel salad - oh and the shortcrust pastry is black pepper and hyssop. 🌱 I don’t have enough space for a veggie plot but I do like to have a few unusual, tasty ingredients (especially herbs) growing in my little kitchen garden area to give life and a botanical twist.

A massive thank you to all the fabulous people at @creativelysquared - this is just the greatest and most supportive community of creatives. I just received the most amazing flowers (just a sweet few pictures here) 💐. Feeling very blessed!

Sunny afternoon, finished my first day back at work - it’d be rude not to, wouldn’t it? Submitting as part of the #pour challenge today for #enticingaction by @evakosmasflores

Homemade sourdough croissants. I made a big mistake in baking these - or so I thought. I proofed them overnight in the fridge as usual then turned the oven on and put them straight in without thinking. I only realised when the oven beeped to say it was at temperature that I’d put them in a cold oven. Turns out, best ever fluffiness on a sourdough croissant. So, not a ‘mistake’ rather a happy accident.

Hello, hello. It’s been a while… I hope you are all doing well. I’ve been in hiding, well, that’s to say I’ve been laid up with COVID, even though I am double-jabbed. I would urge everyone to get the two vaccinations, as I wonder what I would have been like without them. Anyway, I am almost back in the world of the living: I’m all OK bar being exhausted. I did manage some pasta - these little ‘traffic cones’ are spelt flour (from @craggsandco ) cappelllacci del brigante with a mix of beet and cherry.

Orange and polenta cake with a lemon curd top. GF, by nature of the recipe and given a little lift with some calendula and cornflower petals.

This beauty of a building in the heart of Nottingham is the office of Victorian architect Fothergill Watson. It’s a great example of his gothic revivalist style, and he particularly liked using alternating red and Nottingham-yellow bricks. Gorgeous isn’t it? A slice of East Midlands history.

Sketch of Tate St Ives from a recent visit, a cute little vegetable notebook it that I *accidentally* bought in Fore St and some of my favourite flowers ever - cornflowers: gorgeous, perfectly imperfect, wild-looking and the most luscious blues.
