Interested in making the best of delicious vegetables this summer? Want some new ideas on how to make the most of what's available locally? Then come along to our meeting on Tuesday 18th June, 7pm for 7.30 start and meet Jojo Tulloh, food editor of The Week magazine and allotment-junkie. Jojo will talk about the lost art of fermentation, how easy and health giving this simple process is whilst demonstrating how to make kimchi, a fermented carrot, cabbage and chilli mixture that is the national dish of Korea.
Jojo lives locally (hurrah!) and divides her time between her family, her garden and writing about food and gardens. Taking inspiration from the self-sufficient life of cult-cook Patience Gray, Tulloh adapts Gray’s Southern Italian acres to the window-boxes of London in her new book The Modern Peasant. Step-by-step methods for baking and pickling, fermenting and foraging, Tulloh presents fresh tasting, achievable recipes for modern-day urban ‘peasants’ – from sour dough pizzas of nettles and sausage to jam, cordials and pickles. She will share some of her inspirational methods for great tasting seasonal cooking and fresh produce. You'll also be able to buy a discounted copy of the book on the night if you wish, so don't forget to bring your pocket money (cards accepted too.)
To complement our food-mood we're also trying out a mini home-grown/ home-made food swap, a little experiement for us. Just bring along your home made goods or home grown stuff and swap it with your mates for something equally delicious. Nothing to swap? Watch the fun instead.
Haven't been to East End WI before? Don't worry - it's open to all women and we'll make you welcome. Just turn up on the night - St Margaret's House, 21 Old Ford Road, London E2 0LP, behind the Gallery Cafe (venue accessible to wheelchairs). We request a £4 donation from non-members, deductible from your subscription later if you decide to join. Tea, coffee and refeshments provided.
