oh what a lovely night
What a lovely evening we had launching the Food Sharing Project with Sue and Corinne from Project Phakama. Listening to everyone's food stories, recipes, memories of families and friends, and then sharing salads ...
and savouries ...
and sweet things...
and the recipes they would like to find.
It was an absolute pleasure.
We're very excited about working with Phakama, helping with growing and making and feasting. We'll be hearing more in the New Year. I'll be adding a link to Phakama's blog - as soon as I can find it. In the meantime, see you at Bethnal Green Library tomorrow morning.

maytime: a bit of life, craft and cake
Hope you all had a lovely Easter and are ready for our next adventure. This month the multi-talented artist Kate Hardy will be joining us on 17th May to lead another of her brilliant life drawing classes. Kate has visited us a couple of times before and we normally find that we have a full house, so do try to come along early. We will also be mandating our delegate - this year someone from N1 WI - to put forward our votes on motions to the NFWI AGM. We'll be at the usual place, usual time - 7.30 for 8pm start at St Margaret's House, Old Ford Road, E2. All materials will be supplied. Free for members, suggested donation of £3 for non-members. We'll also be raising money for Cake Break for MS, so if you are a baker, novice or otherwise, do please bring along some home-made cakes for us to sell, and some spare change to but something!
We hope to raise more for the charity at our coffee morning at 10.30am on 20th May. This time we'll be visiting the wonderful Create Place (just a few doors down from St Margaret's House) where we'll be able to buy tea and coffee, look at the merchandise and see what they goes on in this craft-y venture. So more cakes for sale would be welcome there too!
Just to get your appetite whetted, here's a wee sample here of what our faithful bakers made when they generously turned up to support the Mile End Cemetery event last Sunday. Well done all, especially Clare who co-ordinated our team - and, according to my John, made the very best fruit cake.
And if you didn't make it to our last meeting, just a little taster of what you missed...
Our thanks go to Theresa from Kitchen Buddy for demonstrating how to make delicious raw food salads and for sharing her healthy chocolate - and to Veronika for setting up the event and being such a diligent sous chef. Look out Masterchef...

cats and dogs
We had a grand day at Parklife and the Mile End dog show on Sunday. Thanks go to all you lovely bakers and helpers (and to John for putting up the gazebo) and dealing with the challenges of no power and lukewarm tea.
We did get caught in the monsoon-like downpour at four o'clock so we all got just a little bit, erm, soaked, along with the bunting and everything else. Pleased to say everything has now dried off nicely. Except my addled brain.
PS Coffee morning this Friday 21st - meet at the ticket kiosk at 10.30. If you are a Tower Hamlets resident you will get in for £1 with evidence of address ( utility bill, rates bill etc). If you are not a Tower Hamlets resident, let Niki know so that we can make alternative arrangements.

apple day
Don't forget - Apple Day is on 21st October, an opportunity to celebrate all that is good about British apples. Spitalfields City Farm is celebrating this Sunday from 11-4.Who knows, there may even be some apple cake at Tuesday night's meeting.
See you there.
