Recipe from East End Women's Institute

Workshop with the East End Women's Institute

On Tuesday evening Corinne and Sue met up with more than 30 members of the East End Women's Institute, and had a wonderful evening, eating, telling stories about food and recipes and sharing recipes.  Members of the group volunteered for gardening, cooking, craft work, sharing stories and eating , as part of the Edible Garden project, and the enthusiasm was infectious.

We also thought about a different kind of recipe, the kind of recipes for life we would like to know.

We got the recipe for a good bike ride:

Sue has inherited a recipe box from her Mum, with this on the inside
