The dog days of summer often stir up a bit of creativity. What activity or new hobby can you try to fill the long days of sunshine? For me, that activity has become pickling. Not only does it completely upgrade your ingredient kitchen, but the process is surprisingly aesthetically pleasing, too. Bright pink radishes, purple onions, the glistening glass of the jars...
"I went to a cool wine bar in Biarritz recently where every shelf was lined with pretty jars of pickled produce," Livingetc's interiors editor Emma Breislin tells me. "The way the light would catch them — ah, it was so beautiful. Almost too good to use."
