Hello & Welcome to Jo's Kitchen Larder!
Hi, I’m Jo - content creator, food stylist & photographer but also busy mum of 2, wife of 1 and passionate foodie residing in beautiful West Sussex in the UK!
Why Jo's Kitchen Larder?
My larder is my favourite cabinet in the kitchen, full of delicious ingredients I use day in, day out to create my recipes.
I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you as it's not a wonderful walk-in room with custom made shelves adjacent to my kitchen (my ultimate dream!) but simply a tall, pull-out cabinet right next to the fridge!
Still, that larder in question has become a name inspiration for my food blog!
What can you expect to find on Jo's Kitchen Larder?
I’ve been sharing my recipes on here since 2017.
What’s started as a passion project turned into full time hustle and now recipe creation is mainly what I do.
Throughout the life of the blog we’ve slowly changed the way we eat as a family (2 boys 11 & 14, hubby and me) and are now predominantly whole foods and plant centred although we don't exclude animal products completely.
As a family we are very passionate about health of our planet as much as our own.
I’m a huge advocate of cooking from scratch and avoiding ultra processed foods.
I love bread baking and haven’t bought a loaf of bread since 2020 when I started on my sourdough journey with my rye starter affectionately called Nigel!
I am really passionate about eating with seasons, as locally as possible and supporting local growers and food producers.
All of my recipes are simple and using mostly whole foods ingredients (unless I’m baking, then there is no escaping sugar).
We love homemade cakes and treats so there are always lots of those on offer as well as some Polish recipes I grew up eating.
For the past couple of years I’ve been learning to grow my own veggies and have started sharing ‘how to prepare and cook’ guides which I will be doing more of.
I’m very much about slower, more mindful way of life, close to nature, family and of course food.
My Recipes Are:
- mostly quick and easy with occasional more time consuming feast
- seasonal
- mostly wholesome and nutritious
- varied
- using mostly easily accessible, everyday ingredients
- supported by step-by-step instructions and process photos to help you along the way
- full of helpful tips, tricks, advice and alternatives (wherever possible)
