This gorgeous shot of lunch amidst the fronds of wild fennel on Deal beach is a way of keeping summer with you, even in the deepest depths of winter. It's part of a limited-edition print collection of food and nature-focused photographs taken by the photographer Helen Cathcart as part of her work with food writer and cookbook author Rosie Birkett.
Many of these photographs were taken during the shoot for Rosie's last cookbook 'The Joyful Home Cook' and were captured in the seaside town of Deal in Kent, where Rosie now lives. Helen and Rosie have been working together collaboratively for years as photographer and food writer, focusing on evoking the natural beauty of seasonal ingredients and homemade recipes. These prints would make an impactful, atmospheric addition to any kitchen or pantry wall.
