Agrarian dreaming | Food Matters
https://bakestone.wordpress.com/2008/10/18/agrarian-dreaming
Talking about food, eating, recipes, food politics and more food. October 18, 2008 in food politics. I spent the afternoon reading Michael Pollan’s. Open Letter to the Farmer-in-Chief. And thinking hard about what I understand and do not understand about the politics of food. I am not First World. What I saw in Wales shocked me, the waste and apathy and the really tasteless food in the supermarkets. I am not sure. I went into the kitchen thinking about farmers’ markets and artisan farmers and kitch...

Talking about food, eating, recipes, food politics and more food. From Wales to Cape Town. August 29, 2008 in home cooking. And I’ve retitled and changed the focus of this blog becuse I’m now back in South Africa and want to go on writing about food from time to time. It wasn’t the food adventure I had hoped for and some of that was because I was unhappy and in an unhappy relationship. The eating out suffered and my enjoyment of food suffered. I cooked badly and wthout confidence. Anyhow, moving on….

Talking about food, eating, recipes, food politics and more food. Beans, an undying passion. October 22, 2008 in home cooking. I read something in. About 57% of African maize being genetically modified. If famers don’t use genetically modified maize, they need more pesticides. Between the devil and a hard place. Out here in the Overberg I can find as many varieties of beans as I need. The farm labourers eat them with meat and potatoes, simmered in a balck pot. Or with a whole sheep’s head. There are new ...

Talking about food, eating, recipes, food politics and more food. October 24, 2008 in home cooking. This morning I read an article in the. Announcing that a council in mid-Wales has taken Marmite off the schools menu for children. Marmite is too salty. In South Africa, Marmite feels local. I have tried Bovril but it is another kind of spread. Nothing beats the familiarity and comfort factor of Marmite. If the kids don’t get it at school, they will go on getting it at home.

Lurking around laverbread | Food Matters
https://bakestone.wordpress.com/2008/08/17/lurking-around-laverbread
Talking about food, eating, recipes, food politics and more food. August 17, 2008 in Uncategorized. Laverbread is an acquired taste as even devotees acknowledge.

It is also akin to the Japanese Nori. And this is what I was told to do:. Divide the laverbread into four pieces and coat with oatmeal. Fry gently for 5-10 minutes in bacon fa...
