When a chef I trust pulled me aside to tell me about someone who's fighting the odds to start a hot sauce company, I took notice.

Jacob Wilkinson, who is visually impaired, turned a pandemic project into Blowing Smoke, featuring Ontario-grown produce with fantastic names like Devil’s Night and Yellow Snow.

Am so honoured he let me tell his story.

Let’s talk about fresh spinach and leafy greens in general for a moment. As a child in the 60s/70s I only knew very finely chopped frozen spinach that came with cream, ready to be warmed up. That was “meh”. I had no idea what spinach leaves looked like besides being green and there were no other leafy greens ever.
At some point in my early twenties I was served fresh leaf spinach that was fried with garlic in olive oil. I was astonished and absolutely loved it but it still seemed to be difficult to come by proper spinach leaves, not that baby spinach nonsense in a plastic wrappers 🤪😅
In my years in the UK I found frozen whole leaf spinach, and then finally back in Germany I bought proper fresh spinach leaf bunches from the market that we used to have in front of the house. Since the market is gone, it’s back to baby leaf style in plastic - unless I go to a Turkish supermarket or other markets a little bit further away.
We all love fresh spinach and leafy greens in our food, so I’ve started using whatever greens come with other vegetables like radishes, kohlrabi, May turnips to fill that gap. Or I try out whatever I can find in Asian supermarkets. All of those are often surprisingly good (but so far I’m not that keen on carrot greens)!

Today’s really easy to prepare Indian style egg and (baby leaf) spinach curry worked well with the garlic and coriander tempeh that needed to be eaten. Without the egg this would also be a great vegan meal.

On Sunday I wanted to try something new, a Chinese dish with spiced tofu and garlic chives. I had bought garlic chives last week on a whim but they weren’t enough for this dish. Nevermind, there were also radish leaves and some other Asian Greens available in my fridge and that’s what I used to bulk this up with. I added some radish slices as garnish, I think they add a nice contrast ☺️ All in all a success.
