passion for food

 

This blog was set up to inspire kids and parents to think about the food they eat. We want to be informed and knowledgable about what we are eating, where it is sourced and how it impacts on our fragile planet.  The Food Forum seeks to inspire by sharing recipes, ideas, books, blogs and internet sites. We welcome comments, recipes, ideas and connections – please share your insights with us.  And as Michael Pollan has said “Never buy your food where you buy your gas.”

  • Birthdays are Big where I come from…..
    As I said in my family Birthdays are Big and if it's yours, you get to choose your menu. We don't want patat (French Fries or Chips) and Chicken nuggets, fizzy drinks etc. We believe that celebrations should begin and end with real food and creating traditions. And that everyone should take part in making the feast. Jack wanted a Cheese Souffle whi […]
  • The Home Garden is Growing – First Harvest!
    Our little garden is growing and we harvested our first salad leaves for our school lunches today -young salad leaves plucked from the garden. I have been tussling with some monster pigeons and a snail or three, but after cunningly placing a few colanders over my precious little plants they are growing like 'weeds'. The showery weather has delighte […]
  • Go Jamie Go! International Food Revolution Day, May 19 – Let’s Get Cooking ++++ Proper Good Picnics
    May 19th – the first ever International Food Revolution Day! Good on ya Mr Oliver, you certainly don’t do things by halves. You take the bull by the horn (or in this case the school by the board) and you run with it. We are so, so with you, you and all the other sung [...]
  • Truffled Eggs and Bunny Tails!
    I am in love with quail's eggs, duck egg blue pre-loved plates, Easter trees, and shared brunches! Apple and pear buds are bursting in my small garden, and I am ready to sow the seeds and plant out my shallots, beans, peas and edible flowers - I encourage everyone to plant something edible in their garden/on their balcony, or even their window sill, thi […]
  • Flour Power – Amber writes a guest post and “Good to the Grain”…
    Found at the organic market - a very gorgeous pinkly marvellous cauli - how fun is that? As I pointed to it they said we knew you'd want to try it. So, I did. But first I just gazed at it in awe and delight. Then I realized it was a little past it's best, so I sliced it thin and popped it into a lemony, couscous salad with slow roasted tomatoes etc […]
  • A Little Spring Salad as the Earth Warms Up
      March 8 International Women’s Day and I am acutely aware that I am lucky to be sitting here at my desk in the weak tremulous spring sunlight, writing and thinking about food, experimenting with recipes and enjoying my many freedoms. Recently after attending the International Pen Awards for those who write under duress I [...]
  • Food-motions – a few glorious grains and soft spring rolls!
    I just find food and meals just so wholesomely human really - a simple and genuine full circle of love, caring and shopping with sustainability in mind. I do try and temper my desire to cook and experiment with consience and our small planet is constantly in my thoughts. Growing up in the 60s/70s on a small dairy farm taught me much about the land, farming a […]
  • Smitten by a Chiogga- Candy striped beet, be my valentine, anytime…
    Some people have commented I am quite a good cook. Actually this is very, very kind of them and probably untrue. What I am is a rather greedy person, who is very curious about using new ingredients, who rather detests spending money on bad food, and who has the luxury of having time to experiment!
  • Bark in the Park from Kids in the City
    Reblogged from Dear Mr Dog/meneertje hond: It’s been a good few years since we started The Kids in The City Foundation to clean up our city streets and parks! We have been having a bit of a time out for the past few years, a bit of a relax, a stock take, a lie in [...]
  • Like Totally Non-toxic Birthday Parties (well almost!)
    To Do list for party Make own cake pops (using any muffin type mixture but Morning Glory is best!) Note to self, these types of cakes are really easy but you need a silicone mould which makes them a doddle! Note to the wonderful Rita, gouging them out of normal shaped cake is not the [...]
