It's NOT knitting!

People always ask me about Indian cooking. I cook Indian food all the time, but without giving it much thought. My dinner guests leave with happy tummies wanting more...more knowledge!

So in the spirit of attempting new things in 2009, I've devised a class in the basics of Indian cooking.

This is a digest (if you'll pardon the pun) of information on the gap between the typical modern Western diet and what our bodies are adapted for. There's certainly a big gap between what I eat and Ran Prieur's recommendations, but there's a lot of food for thought here.

How to make sweet stuff

How about an alternative to Christmas pudding, Christmas Cake, Mince Pies and Yule Log? Here are some very easy to make sweet treats, and you might want some of these too. Mint.

Audrey's "Grow Your Own" Blog

At the risk of sounding smug I am keeping to my New Year resolution to reduce my carbon foot print by eating more food that I grow myself. Despite those sub zero temperatures earlier in January I have with just water, warmth, air and a few jars above the kitchen radiator managed to get a very good crop of sprouting mung, aduki, alfalfa, chick peas and green lentil seeds.

Adding them to soups, stir fries and salads has proved a really fun way to get at least one of my 'five a day' of very fresh veg.

I have been invited to run a workshop for children at a Big Lunch event in Ward End Park Birmingham. It seems great opportunity to raise awareness of SOE by handing out postcards with the web address etc.
The NHS who are organising the day will focus on health and fitness via food and exercise pursuits.
May be other Big lunch events could be used by teachers to recruit mew members?

Hi all,

Would anyone be interested in getting together a
group of people to place organic wholesale food
orders? Many wholesalers will accept a minimum
order of £400 or so placed by a private group and
you can get huge savings on pantry items such as
tinned tomatoes, beans, pasta, oils, grains,
spices, wine, ecological cleaning products....

Please email me if you're interested!

Thanks
