From the house · August 2026
Treemeantus opens with two jars. Not a catalogue. A beginning.
We could have waited until the pantry was full. We did not. Growth that is honest starts smaller than the plan.
The house opens with cashews and golden raisins. One is a seed that hung under a fruit. One is a grape that agreed to wait in the sun.
In the kitchen · August 2026
A slow Indian rice pudding, finished with cashews and golden raisins.
Kheer is not a curry. It is milk, rice, and time — the Indian dessert you fold the harvest into.
Warm a teaspoon of ghee. Toast cashews until they take a little colour. Let raisins swell in the same pan. Simmer milk with rice, then add sugar, cardamom, and saffron. Fold the harvest through.
Grow notes · August 2026
The seed hangs under the fruit. The tree does not explain itself.
This is why Treemeantus is named for trees and not for snacks. A snack is an outcome. A tree is a method.
