A simple vegetarian Sri Lankan lunch of white suwandel rice and (clockwise from top) a mallung of manioc leaves and wild eggplant, pappadam, curried lady’s fingers, banana blossom (the highlight of the meal, in my opinion), and beans. Good enough that I had seconds, in spite of being a devoted meat eater. Thambiliwatte Farm, close to Maho. February 2022.

A farmer and his wife eat lunch in the shade of a lean-to next to their paddy fields, close to Mawanella, in the foothills of Sri Lanka’s Central Highlands. Shot on assignment for Serendib, the inflight magazine of Sri Lankan Airlines. My photo story, ‘Eating like a Farmer‘, ran in the May 2017 issue.

I was a bit heavy-handed with the tomato passata, which kind of dominated the flavours a bit too much, but not bad for a first attempt, I thought. Colombo, February 2020.
