This is Lizzie, our operations and growth lead, with one of @mamansuperbaking’s chocolate hazelnut brioches that she shared with her friends this weekend.

A lot of us aren't used to this hot weather in the UK, so it can have an unexpected impact on your eating habits 🥵 🌤️
Once the initial excitement of the sunshine goes away, you might notice a bit of a drop in your appetite, and you're not alone.
Besides the obvious (drink LOTS of water!), you can also make certain food choices to help you feel cool and energized during a heatwave, and keep you away from your hot stove and oven.
🥗 Salads - Leafy greens are high in water content and veggies like celery and cucumber are made up of 95%+ water. Try adding a salad to one of your lunches or dinners, and it could help you increase your water intake.
🍓Fruits - Strawberries, pineapples, and grapefruits are all good choices... equally as hydrating as they are delicious! Watermelon and tomatoes also contain a nutrient called lycopene that can protect you from sun exposure.
🌶️ Chillies - it might seem counterintuitive to go for spicy food when you're feeling hot, but it can actually cool the body down by increasing blood circulation and perspiration.
...and if you don't have the energy to cook anything this week, head to the link in our bio for some summer inspiration.
Last week we finally hosted our first cook community event at Cookpad HQ, and what a night it was! 🥳🥂
Celebrating past, present and prospective cooks on the platform was well worth the wait (thanks Covid!)
We had a long-overdue catch up, shared stories, recipes and tips; learnt how to make Vietnamese Tôm Sốt Cà Chua and spring rolls (thanks to @thesaigonkitchen_in_bristol), and of course, ate lots of incredible home-cooked food. 🍽
We already can’t wait for the next one… 🎉
It's National Chocolate Day... and what do we do to celebrate? 🎉Enjoy a big batch of oreo chocolate brownies of course!🍫
There's no better way to enjoy chocolate than in a tasty homemade cake or bake, prepared by a talented local cook in their home kitchen.
Polly from Bedminster loves baking with the very best chocolate, to make the very best brownies - you only have to try them to see why.
How are you enjoying your chocolate today?
Discovering new dishes and cuisines being cooked in Bristol’s home kitchens is a really exciting part of what we do…😋
Moqueca de Peixe Paulistana is a very popular fish dish from Brazil, with many many variations from north to south. @foodphoto.bristol makes it with haddock, prawns, squid and mussels stewed in coconut and served with white rice and chilli sauce. 🌶 Definitely something to add on your list to try!
Mireya also took this photo of her fish stew - when she’s not cooking she takes delicious photos for a living. 📷
