High Street Heroes

Published by Julia Hamiton

Times are strange and new to us all, we’ve all had to adapt one way or another. As a photographer I’ve found myself without work but an urge to document the changes around me. I took to wandering the locale and felt that shopkeepers that have been able to adapt and stay open to customers as essential providers deserve some special recognition. This is a gallery of some (by no means all) of the people who have worked so hard to keep Dulwich supplied, fed, refilled and treated during the lockdown. Thanks to you all, you are my highstreet heroes! Here’s hoping that the ones that are closed will be able to reopen soon and we can have the vibrancy back in our wonderful community. I’m continuing to document local life, with portraits of other heroes such as bus drivers and street cleaners, postal and delivery staff and am about to embark on a series of what I’m calling “Pandemic Portraits” of families in lockdown… get in touch if you’d like to photographed! julia@weareoneanother.net Instagram …

Burgers There is nothing that beats a good home-made burger and these are superb. This is a really simple recipe that guarantees truly scrumptious Burgers! It is very easy to follow and as always, a huge hit with the family! If you don’t have horseradish, use mustard. If you don’t like mustard, keep it simple and leave it out! Add sundried tomatoes to the meat mix and pickles before you serve. It really doesn’t matter, just enjoy them! This is a uber quick and ultra-delicious recipe. Fabulous for a BBQ – at a safe social distance of course.

Cooking Online In Lockdown

Published by Around Dulwich

Nena Foster wrote a lovely article for the May issue of SE23 which we are happy to share. As a freelance nutritional chef, my work revolves around working with people; whether it is a cookery class or workshop, working with clients on a 1-2-1 basis or cooking on a set for a cookbook or magazine. My job also revolves around consistent access to food, so it was no surprise, but still came as a shock, that when we ended up in lockdown all my work completely dried up or needed to be delivered without making contact with others. After an initial panic, I decided to take my experience as a cookery teacher, former university lecturer delivering remote teaching sessions and use my limited (but growing) tech skills to move the parts of my business that I could online. The first week of lockdown was spent trying to make sure my family had what we needed and was spent getting up to speed with transitioning to online class delivery. At times it felt completely impossible; juggling …
