having a break

since the Factory was evicted we’ve had nowhere to do the people’s kitchen so are taking a break for a while. Hopefully it will return in spring. see you then xx

 

 

 

People’s kitchen happening as usual this week

Dale Farm fundraiser

All the money donated for food this week went to Dale Farm. There were also cakes and mulled cider for sale, which altogether raised £170. Thanks to everyone involved, and everyone who gave something.

News from the Factory

A company called the PG Group wants to develop our building. We don’t want to be moved on and we don’t want this building to be developed, and we are asking for support.

There’s info here: http://bristol.indymedia.org/article/705915

We’re going to use People’s Kitchen on Tuesday the 18th to talk more about the situation and what we can do about it, and show some films.

The peoples kitchen has been happening every week since this was last updated. We’re just better at cooking than updating a blog! This week there was Thai green curry, mash, rice and salad, followed by apple crumble (inc. a wheat and sugar-free version). Yum!

cancelled again!

the people’s kitchen had to be cancelled this week, because there just weren’t enough people around to make it happen. Should all be happening as usual next week hopefully. It looks like being really quiet on the 30th september as well, so it would be great if people can get in touch if they want to get involved that week.

Dale Farm event

Some No Borders crew cooked today for the Dale Farm event this evening. Thanks to their publicity it was a really busy week, we pretty much ran out of food. Had to be a few small portions towards the end.  There’ll be another No Borders event in a couple of weeks, details soon.

We also got a new source of vegetables this week, Leigh Court farm are happy to let us have their waste food, so we’ll be a lot more organic and local from now on. Massive thanks to them for that.

the wonder that is the internet!!

so this blog and our email account have been active for two months and this week we got our first ever emails!! very very exciting. especially as they were from people wanting to help out. It was amazing to realise that people do actually look at this site and use it to get in touch.

This week the cooking was awesome, there were heaps of people around to help out. And they all seemed to enjoy it, or at least said they’ll come back again.

we’ve only had one comment on the blog so far. can someone please make another one? it’ll make us really happy…

and i nearly forgot- anyone want to take responsibility for cooking next week?

a quiet week…

Well i soon got bored of updating this every week!

This weeks peoples kitchen was pretty quiet, which was handy as there wasn’t that much food. All we managed to get at the market was grapefruit and peppers, which are both great themselves but it did rather restrict what we could make. So we spent a bit more than usual, bought fresh herbs, lemons, dried apricots etc and made: stuffed peppers and potato salad, with grapefruit for dessert. Yum! There were even some leftovers, which is hopefully a reflection on it being a quiet evening, not on the quality of the food!

back to normal

all back to normal this tuesday. on the menu – special e.coli salad with beansprouts, tomatoes, carrots and lime dressing, chick pea and cauliflower curry, and what started off as cabbage and potato curry but turned into bubble & squeak somewhere in the cooking process! Really enjoying the abundance of tomatoes at the moment. Its actually cheaper to cook with fresh than tinned, amazing!
