Hi ,
How to stay smiling and inspired during lockdown? Since we're stuck to our tiny household circles for the next week, here are a few fun food things you can do that isn't just binge watching crappy Netflix shows (guilty!). I wanted to send some love out
to people creating really amazing educational food content out there online and in the real world. And I'll keep on cooking and posting new recipes on my youtube channel for you too.
Cook! If Salvador Dali was a chef. Forager food porn by Forager Chef Alan Bergo - even if you're not a forager or a chef, take a look at his recipes they are wild.
You can't travel but your mind can:) Check out Mark Wiens on his food travel adventures through Thailand and S.East Asia. Watching him eat makes me laugh.
Give food love. Donate to the Food Bank - Now more than ever they need your help
Support local plates. Get Xmas gifts or tableware from a local potter at the Virtual Eastside Culture Crawl this year Nov 2-22. It's been so inspiring browsing through all the gorgeous local handmade crafts and artwork.
Come eat with me after lockdown. We will be let out of our cages soon:) I'm going to be cooking a hot lunch and teaching folks about winter survival skills at the beach with our Winter Coastal Foraging trip in the new year. So bundle up, get outside and book your tickets
here...
