31/01/2010 Imperial College cooking session

By Louise on February 7, 2010

This week’s ingredients came from Marylebone Farmers’ Market and consisted of a seasonal variety of freshest cabbages and root vegetables. Cooking according to the seasons is an important aspect of FoodCycle, as is the best use of any collected ingredients i.e. from supermarkets where seasonality might not be as prominent an issue. Having a repertoire [...]

Once again we are grateful for the generosity of Abel & Cole who donated several boxes of produce containing great variety. Look at the colours!

We received a dozen boxes of produce for this [...]

25/10/09 Imperial College cooking session

By Louise on October 26, 2009

This week’s donations were fewer – not that it was a problem – because the market we collected from was busier than usual. (We are, of course, very happy for our trader donors/supporters that trade was good!!) A good selection of vegetables were collected which included: potatoes (way hey!), savoy cabbages, carrots (the really tasty, [...]

By Louise on October 22, 2009

This session was all about improvisation using a repertoire of generic cooking techniques and applying same to donated ingredients. We collected: carrots, parsnips, pointed cabbage, broccoli and purple sprout broccoli, carvollo nero cabbage, potatoes, cooking apples and spring onions. We made the best of what was available without following a fixed recipe – this aspect [...]
