Eat Your Weeds
Author. Stone Soup — 10/ 06/ 2016
Many useful and nutritious plants growing around us are treated as botanical outcasts. Weeds are characteristically fast-growing, and usually in areas people don’t want them. But their abundance and resilience means we are growing free food without even trying. Thinking of weeds differently opens up a new world of plants that are edible and/or medicinal.

Don’t throw it away
Author. Fiona Smith — 10/ 06/ 2016
We keep being told there is a lot of food wastage in the Western world. I don’t know about you, but I am guilty as charged. I have too many veges that don’t get eaten and I tip half-eaten tins/jars of things that have spent too long in the fridge down the sink. On the bright side, I basically ignore best before dates, relying instead on my own sense of smell, taste and good sense. Here are a few other things you can do at home to reduce food waste.

Askew One
Author. Aaron McLean — 05/ 02/ 2016
“..the penny dropped for me that food is seen as this really benign and irrelevant thing, but it’s actually everything. And it pertains to every aspect of life on this planet. The environment, politics, trade and economics, health and wellbeing, preservation of culture; food is pretty much the single most important issue.”

Seaweed Sauce
Author. Fiona Smith — 05/ 02/ 2016
It’s a beautiful, wild, frustrating walk along the beach after a summer storm. The sea has offered up a myriad of beautiful seaweed and I want to make salad, at the very least but with a mind to doing so much more. The frustration comes with the lack of information out there on what we can and can’t eat and what to do specifically with different varieties.
