New Forest Retreats

So much growth in the garden. I am particularly excited about the nasturtium berries, which I plan to make into pickled capers

So many beautiful spots in the forest. It is such a pleasure to be able to hold my retreats in the stunning part of the world, with beaches and forest on the doorstep. Plus the lovely villages filled with great country pubs, all add to the very special little getaways.
The next yoga retreat at the farm is almost full for September 13-15 but fear not there are more coming over the autumn and winter.

Just recharging my batteries and brains in readiness for the autumn season of fabulous retreats at the farm. Giving my senses a bath at the Dali Museum.

Here is a really lovely pasta salad with olive and mint dressing.
Super quick and easy
I used leftover pasta as I made a vegan Mac yesterday (I always make too much and save a bit for something else)
For this I used
Grilled artichokes
Peppers
Tomatoes sun-dried and fresh
Olives
Onion

Dressing
Oil
Olives
Garlic
Mustard
Lemon juice
Mint leaves
salt
Pepper
Blend and pour over

If you are in the mood you could add some nuts or mozzarella and avocado or go middle eastern and use gf couscous with some spices. The world is your oyster. Go play. And enjoy.

Just made handmade fudge. Well that was easy. If a little messy and sticky, so worth it. Just butter and sugar. I will try vegan butter next and let you know. Xx

Just getting creative with rhubarb. Maybe a rhubarb crumble, and a vegan moose. Wish me luck....

Looking for a treat post half term, why not join for a workshop at the farm on the 17th June 10.30-2.30pm

Such a lot of lovely fun is being had out on the water and in the forest. I just can't stay indoors- it is all too exciting. Whatever will I find to eat next.....loving foraging.

Today I have been mostly eating weeds! (Fast show references)
Such a truly wonderful and inspiring weekend filled with magic, learning about the local plants and how to use them, Watch out world! (Husbands response "shall I can call A and E now then?)
Joking aside we need to work hard to keep our botanical knowledge so that we understand how to engage with, use, and heal with it and create safe spaces for it in our environment.
Thanks to all the fabulous family
For putting on such a wonderful retreat

So there are two versions of this recipe mine and then AI. I have a feeling AI won on this one.

Ratatouille like the rats make! 🍲🎄

Ratatouille, Occitan: ratatolha, is a French Provençal dish of stewed vegetables which originated in Nice, and is sometimes referred to as ratatouille niçoise.

I have copied the pixar film version which is a layered baked version which is more photogenic then the stew and is considerably less work and you will get way more kudos for it in a dinner/retreat party setting.

Now the most important piece of equiptment is a mandoline or a food processor for this one, as it will save about 2 hour of your life.

All ingredients are cut to the same thickness and then placed in the tray either in a circle or in rows with different colours touching.

2 Peppers

2 Courgettes

1 Onion

1 Aubergine

Dried spices: thyme and dill

Fresh herbs: oregano and basil

Garlic

6 large Tomatoes

Can of passata

Cook the onion, and garlic to make a sauce with the Passata, and the herbs just simmer for the time it takes to cut the veggies, then pour over and place the oven for 30 mins at 180c.

And enjoy with some crusty bread! 😋
