Paris in springtime

Visiting Paris for the first time in March 2012 has been a real treat. And the weather was swell. With glorious patisseries and cafes on every street corner each day brought a new treat. This was a pistachio eclair. Who says being Veggie in France is difficult. I could live off these for 5 days!

I decided to make my own candied peel
for the festive baking period. Unless
you've tried 'proper' candied peel, its hard to understand if all the fuss is worth it. On the other hand if you have tried it , you can never go back to the yucky ear wax waste of space pre chopped stuff. Anyway I took this pic of my efforts and thought i'd try a bit better this year at posting!

Eco Veggie Fayre and other stuff

Our summer bookings are shaping up and the next one is a biggie. The Bristol Eco Veggie Fayre, on 29-30th May 2010 is the re-branded Vegan Fayre which will now more family focused and include more ethical and ecological talks and displays. We will have our unit in the main arena and will be serving an all Vegan Middle Eastern themed menu including Mezze platters as well as our ever popular Berber Sauce and couscous.

On another note our Website is finally live. Its very much a work in progress and I can't believe it has taken a year to get it off the ground. These things always seem simple from afar. Needs more photo's for sure. Might get a nice new shiny camera on my insurance. We'll see.

Trinity Garden Party

We had a successful weekend at the Trinity Garden Party. There was music, workshops, stalls, food and drink to be had. The weather had initially looked pretty awful, but the rain stayed away and we even had some sunshine as the day got on. I have to say the music was awesome this year, so we were bopping away as we sold our stuff. The veggie hotdogs once again proved a popular choice. Thanks to Jan. Liz and all the Trinity crew for helping out.

Unfortunately I don't have any photos as I was mugged on my way home and had my camera nicked. A very strange set of photo's they will find including stylised above-mentioned hot dog!

On a positive note, the cafe looked as fab as the food so we took some nice pics.

Trinity Cafe Mark II

Well it was our second outing at the Trinity Centre. I got very excited and baked up some wonderful muffins and quiches. Delectable as they were, the sun was shining bright and a lot of punters . . . stayed away :(

Our next outing at the Trinity will be their annual Garden Party which takes place on Sunday May 9th from midday until 9pm. Its completely FREE and includes outdoor music, amazing food from ourselves and others as well as workshops and stalls. All in aid of fund-raising for the fabulous work done at the community centre for the year ahead. So come along, buy some food and drinks and (hopefully) enjoy the sunshine!
