A Note on Eating Violet Violet is the colour of the Crown Chakra — the highest energy centre, the seat of spiritual connection, and the place where the individual self meets something greater. White is its companion, representing purity, clarity, and the blank page of pure consciousness. Together, they are the colours of knowing without thinking, of being rather than doing. • Chia Pudding with Violet Flowers • Miso Aubergine (Nasu Dengaku) • Veronique-style Mushrooms with Pur

Blue is a rare colour in the kitchen — nature doesn't hand it out easily. That's part of what makes this week's menu feel so special.

Fresh asparagus and its bright yolk at breakfast. Dark charred broccoli over creamy roasted pepper tofu at lunch. The cool pop of green grapes at dinner. And a basil and peach ice cream that smells like a summer garden.

This one is special. Pineapple Weed (Matricaria discoidea) is one of the most overlooked wild plants in Ireland and the UK — a small, cheerful little thing with dome-shaped yellow-green flowers that genuinely smell and taste of pineapple. You'll find it growing in gaps in pavements, field margins and roadsides from May through October.

We're cooking in orange this week — the colour of the Sacral Chakra — using four beautiful ingredients: crepes, chicory, pumpkin, and whole oranges. Each one warm, nourishing, and deeply satisfying.
