Prompted by the ‘Zero Carbon Wedmore’ project, Green Wedmore, warmly supported by our Parish Council, are planning a village community cookbook.
The cookbook will hopefully focus us all on supporting our local food producers, our food shops, our pubs and restaurants and promoting food from our vegetable gardens, hedgerows and allotments. The thrust of recipes will be to encourage us to take full advantage of our marvellous local circumstances to create lovely dishes made with produce with as near to zero food miles as is possible.
With a view to maximum village participation, the plan is to ask Wedmore’s clubs, associations, schools, food shops, pubs, and restaurants to propose recipes. ‘The First School Falafels’, ‘The Parish Council Porkers’, ‘The Bell Ringers Borscht’, ‘The Paper Shop Pasta Surprise’ ‘The Guides Giblets’, ‘The Community Bus Cauliflower cheese’ ……. you get the idea. (Alliteration not obligatory!)
By the time you read this many of you will have received a request for a recipe. If you have slipped through the net please give me a call.
Hopefully, the cookbook will be ready for Christmas generating funds to help Green Wedmore continue to support further community projects.
Licking our lips in anticipation …..
