I have been mulling over which of my food hates to target this year. It’s not an easy decision. I have a few of them. It’s not that I am a purist – hey I’m a great believer in fairy floss at a fete and I’ve even been known to stop at McDonalds for coffee at 6 am. But industrialised fake food deceptively marketed as real food sets me off on…
I’m picking sweet corn in my garden at the moment, and even if you aren’t growing it, you should be able to find it in season at your local Farmers’ Market. This is my favourite breakfast at the moment.
We celebrated New Year’s Eve at a barbeque with neighbours. It’s one of the things I love about living in a functioning community – socialising within walking distance. I could go on about greenhouse footprints but really it’s enough that I can drink half a bottle of red wine and wander home in the starlight wishing happy New Year to the owlet nightjar that lives on the way!
Perfect party finger food. The recipe makes about 20 tartlets.
Beans are like octopus – they need to be cooked either very fast or very slow.
These came together in 20 minutes while chatting to the visitors, and with a few additions to the soup, made a knock up lunch into a feast.
You can make these with or without nuts as well, depending on your school’s nut policy.
