Sunday night of the weekend celebrations for friends Brigitte and Chris’s 40th birthdays on Crowborough Farm in Georgeham, Devon, and an experience to warm the heart. Starting from a simple intention to create a few simple homecooked dishes by myself and Nicky, this turned into a Communal Cooking fiesta. Friends and fellow guests turned up with food to contribute, and take part in the preparation of a meal which would end up feeding 40 people. The final plate comprised Red Lentil and Lemon Dahl, Brown Rice, Vegetable Curry, Mushroom Sauce, Warm Potato Salad with Rocket, Barley Salad, and Barbecued Meats. Such a vivid example of how nourishing it can be when we come together to cook and share food, and the remarkable energy that can be created.
