Yesterday’s tragedy in Nice has left me once again numb, sad and kinda desperate. I’m trying to come to terms with the fact that our world is a dark dark place, while remembering that there’s still light to be found- or at least there should be and we need to cherish it. On that note, here’s a few Food for thought links for y’ all, because, dammit, it’s summer and we need to stand up to violence, fear and insanity. Stay positive, stay cool.

On happiness.

In case you haven’t noticed, food media are having a major (often overwhelming) moment.

South Bronx in all its subtle glory through beautiful black and white shots.

Amazon Fresh and the culture of instant gratification– everything, here, now.

My favourite nachos, with a cheese and beer buttery sauce and all the toppings. Because comfort. And summer.

*The berry, coconut & kale smoothie I made for The Veil, on repeat.
