Rebecca Jobse @beccasfoodfest I love summer because breakfast looks like this

When it comes to food, the taste is all in the texture. Just think: what would apples, granola and nuts be without their crunch? And would cream, mashed potatoes, sauces and soups be the same if they weren’t so smooth? This week, it’s a battle between those who prefer foods that pack a crunch to those who savour a smoother ride at mealtime. And if you’re having a hard time deciding whether you like your food to go with the flow or your courses coarse, just think of what texture peanut butter you ultimately take sides with.

MISSION INSPIRATION

Nancy Josland Dalsin Frequent Gastroposter Blueberry scones, pastries and lemon cucumber water

Sophie Mackenzie @wholeheartedeats Pineapple gazpacho is all sorts of crazy good
