I suppose the cool thing to do would be to state how calm I am about this coming weekend. To act like I’ve been here before (which I actually have). But the truth is it’s our second year cooking at the picnic, I’ve been done most of the preparation work for weeks and I am [...]

Posted in Food Politics on September 29, 2011 | 24 Comments »
I’m hoping that the following article might motivate people to share the story, add to the discussion and respectful debate. I’m not asking you to agree with me – but am hoping that we can put all of the collective information on the table to share in an open dialogue to make sense of dairy [...]

Posted in Preserving (General Articles About it) on September 28, 2011 | 12 Comments »
We preserve year-round so this post is not an indication of the end of the year. It is, however, an admission that I`m running out of time to preserve much of the summer harvest.

My Secret for the Best Chilli
Posted in Techniques, Tips and Tricks on September 25, 2011 | 5 Comments »

Update on the Brickworks Picnic
Posted in Special Series, We`ve Hosted or Participated In, tagged Evergreen Brickworks Slowfood Picnic 2011 on September 24, 2011 | 2 Comments »
This years picnic preparations are much different from last years experience.
