Perfectly preserved

LAST year, our refrigerator died. While the insurance claim was underway, we lived for several weeks with a small borrowed fridge that just fit the everyday essentials. Such a seemingly small change to our kitchen had a huge impact on our shopping and eating habits. We reverted to buying small quantities daily, and nothing was bought without considering how to store and cook it. I rather enjoyed the challenge.

With most produce available year round, and ever larger fridges and freezers in which to store them, the seasons have become blurred. Nowadays, however, things are beginning to change.
