Zine #2 tomatoes at the heart of the table

A cooking zine dedicated to tomatoes. If you told that four years ago, Scruffy would’ve laughed at you. But moving and working on a farm where tomatoes grow in the wild, they conquered his heart. And now yours.

And there’s more. At Hektor, contemporary art and design meet the charm of an old Canarian farm brought back to life.

Artist residencies, a crazy collection of art work of contemporary artists and a regenerative farm. For sure worth the visit.

Every wonder what The Scruffy Chef does when he’s not cooking. Well, he’s either hugging one of the rescue animals or rummaging about in the fields on the farm at Hektor. And the great thing is that that rummaging leads to wonderful fruits growing. Which then lead to more cooking by Scruffy, turning them into great marmalades. Which you can buy when you’re around Lanzarote. Winner winner chicken* dinner, no?
