Photo Essay by James Loveday
Food Styling by Sam Dixon / Special Thanks to Dionne Loftus
Over the summer, photographer James Loveday ventured to Kent in the English countryside to capture some of the region’s food and producers - and the results are suitably delicious. Below is a selection of his work, featuring Cranbrook Union Mill, Roughway Farm (where they grow Kentish cobnuts, a traditional type of hazelnut), fruit farms, the vineyard of Westwell Wines and Nightingale Cider Farm (which boasts bucolic views over the weald).
There’s a Canterbury tart with homemade Kentish strawberry ice cream and Nightingale apple juice, roadside raspberries, oast houses aplenty (traditionally used for drying hops), Woodchurch sparkling rose with quail's eggs in a cobnut and spices dukkha, and a Kentish cheeseboard complete with Canterbury cheeses, pickled quince, Kentish redcurrant jelly, cobnuts and Biddenden honey.
When perusing these photographs, we wouldn’t blame you for feeling a little peckish …
