Currabinny Cooks: Falling in love with Kale
Kale in a vegetable patch, plumage growing strong and black, broad leaves bubbling and gnarled, ugly but noble all at the same time. There is something almost primordial about this tough brassica, as if you are looking upon a slice of prehistoric forest where dinosaurs roam.
This romanticising about kale might be a little grand for something that is actually, fundamentally humble but the beauty or nobility even that it does have, lies in its hardiness, its perennial nature and its adaptability.
