I'm fortunate to live in the town where 'Incredible Edible' was born. They're a group of volunteers who grow and campaign for local food. They've grown communal herb gardens, veg patches and fruit trees around the town.
K came up this morning and I told him it was his turn to cook today. Afterall, he is a chef!! So we decided to take a walk to a couple of the veg patches just round the corner from mine. We (he) picked lots of broad-beans, potatoes, a cabbage, spring onions, chives and rosemary. I picked a strawberry and some blackcurrants(?).
He's been in the kitchen over an hour, and whatever he's cooking smells delicious!!
Hey, nice to see your blog. I'm excited to see how it will evolve. ;D
ReplyDeleteOhhh, and I'd love a garden/allotment/veggie patch. *sigh* This sounds yum.

Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteWell I have no look growing stuff, (a slug has just eaten all my tomato plants) so it's even better when volunteers grow it for anyone to pick!!
I gave him free reign of my fridge and cupboards, and he made the best meal I've eaten in ages. He first made salad with lettuce, cheese, avocado and broad beans, followed by a delicous creamy cabbage and sweetcorn soup, followed by balls of fragrant, spiced rice and cashew nuts wrapped in cabbage leaves, and a layered thing of potato, sweet potato, tomato and olive. My description has totally not done the food justice!!
