About Camera & Clementine

Published by

Camera & Clementine is a vegetarian* food blog, run by me Anna Pettigrew. It was founded on the principals of using healthy and seasonal produce in the kitchen. Most of which during the summer months I grow myself. My love of beautiful food and cooking, combined with my skills as a photographer motivated me to start this blog in 2013, and it is my hope that it will inspire others to cook and eat seasonally as well as grow their own and forage for wild food. I have roots both in Denmark and in Scotland where I currently live and work as a photographer and recipe writer for cooking and gardening magazines. I have been lucky enough to have traveled extensively around the world and eaten some really weird as well as magically wonderful food along the way, something that I think is reflected in my ‘world’ cooking style. I like to have fun with my photography, which results in my food photographs being a mix of colourful and rustic images. I shoot using a …

Pumpkin Seed Pesto Pizza with Yellow Squash and Goats Cheese

Published by

  Pumpkin Seed Pesto Pizza with Yellow Squash, Goats Cheese and Dill My garden is thriving, as the summer is at last here for definite! I’ve got various salads, including hot and peppery rocket, butter lettuce, chard, spinach..to name a few. And of course dill, which I use as a salad ingredient most days. Freshly picked, nothing beats the aromatic flavour of dill. It adds depth and contrast to this pizza, and is a match made in heaven with goats cheese. This pizza came about as Al Fresco dining was on the cards last week, as it had been a hot afternoon, and the promise of a warm evening was guaranteed! But after the decision had been made that pizza was on the menu, I realized I didn’t have my store cupboard staple – Pesto. But as I mentioned above, my rocket and spinach was doing well, so I quickly threw one together. The lack of pine nuts didn’t put me off, I just substituted them with pumpkin seeds, they do the job nicely! Here’s …

Kohlrabi from Ardross

Published by

On a very wet Tuesday morning in July I went to visit Ardross Farm, as I shall be writing recipes for their shop. I went along to see how they grow their seasonal vegetables and pick some for myself, which I turned into the recipes below. I was greeted by Nikki, the daughter of the farm, and introduced to Andrew, the grower who showed me around the rainy fields of hand sown and hand planted vegetables. Ardross Farm is situated in the picturesque East Neuk of Fife, it’s a heaven for unspoilt beaches and abundant in secluded fishing villages. Originally rearing beef cattle, the farm opened their doors to the public, in an attempt to supply the surrounding community with locally produced meat. The demand for local produce proved to be greatly sought after, so the family expanded their business and began growing and supplying vegetables, herbs and fruit. Although not certified organic, the farm is a traditionally managed farm, using non invasive farming techniques and minimal spraying. The ever so slightly wonky lines of …

Homemade Lamb Stew – For Dogs!

Published by

Ok, this isnt for you to eat..But ever since we got our German Wire-haired Pointer back in October 12, I have been thinking about making my own dog food for him. For me the link between health and the quality of the food you eat is very apparent. And the same is true for your pets health. Just because they will eat anything, doesn’t mean that it wont harm them. Food is life’s building blocks, its all our body’s have to renew and repair our cells with, so for me it is important to eat organically in order to get the most nutrients from my food. If I feed my pooch with healthy real food, oppose to the animal derivitive mush you get from the shops, I think he will sincerely benefit from it, and trips to the vet may be a thing of the past. I am currently feeding Rufus an all dry diet of kibble from a company who I know is ethical, and uses real meat, but he is a sucker for …
