The proposed DVD is coming along, very slowly, too late for the Christmas market. Not done half the scenes, or the cut-aways, music, voice over...not quite the bish-bosh and now we edit it I was told to expect. Provisionally called "Grocer's Kitchen", 'cos that's what I am - a grocer, and I've got a kitchen.... |
We meet people on fad diets. Can't eat tomatoes, don't fry in olive oil, avoiding wheat that's bad too. Well we're on an Italian diet because most of the 58 million population have got it right.
Tofu is wonderful but in the hands of someone who can't cook it's a disaster dish. Get a recipe, surround it with strong flavours and most of all respect 3,000 years of history.

Make a cooking DVD?
![]() In the process of trying to make a DVD. It's about food, and what to do with it - yes cook and eat it. A full days filming was knackering, the prospect of another day I'm dreading. Then there are the cut aways on location, the editing, finding suitable music, artwork, ...Out of my depth. It's not like uploading a clip for YouTube. Then comes the pressing, having a room full of plastic and trying to sell it. The last bit I will probably enjoy. In the picture you can see Horace the sound operator, the Biffa herself who does the styling, and myself wondering what the hell I've let myself into. The story will unfold. |

Coffee Collection
Short, very short, a minute and less, videos about coffee. First attempt at trying to build a food / drink video channel. Not quite what I'd like. Link |

Vegan Lunchbox
| It's always some wek or other. This week it's sausage week and vegan week. The two arn't incompatable. You can eat vegan sausages. My favourites are Wicken Fen Mushroom and Tarragon. Though they do contain hydrogenated vegetable fat. For more healthy options try Vegan Lunch Box. There is even a book you buy. It's in colour - see link. Check the blog and book and you'll never be short of ideas for take from home food again. |
