What we learned from a #MeatFreeWeek
March 25,2013
“I learned that I value the privilege of eating meat. We should all be treating meat as a special privilege and with the respect it deserves – after all, a life was lost in the process.” Maria Hannaford, Sustainable Table

Avoiding food waste by jamming & preserving - 2 perfect recipes
February 19,2012
What do the granny skills of the past have to do with the way of the future? If there's one thing all grannies are good at, it's this - preserving, jamming and bottling excess produce to avoid food waste. It's seen a resurgence in recent times, and given Australians throw out $5.2 billion worth of food each year, this vintage trend is one we're hoping will stick (unlike frilly bobby socks with open-toed high heels)...
