& BROCKWELL BAKE

Outdoor cooking

Every year we hope to add something different. Last year, despite the weather, we had a lovely garden zone. The centre-piece of the event was the bread baking competition which displayed some phenomenal talent. The sheer look of the display was enough to hold people in great anticipation of the results. We hope to do the same this year but even bigger.

Plants & Composting

Last year, in collaboration with South London Permaculture, Peter Turski and PassionFlower built a facade of a house with a garden in front. The walkway along the back allowed for top viewing of the sedum roof that spanned either side of the door.

Gardening and Food preparation

With confirmation Transition Town Brixton are setting up an outdoor kitchen for those who want to try some cooking. The theme is family and heritage value, so if anyone out there wants a platform on a dais then give Sarah a shout on cannon_sarah@hotmail.com and she will schedule you into the Cookers and Eaters kitchen area. Also on the agenda:

Kitchen Buddy & Theresa Webb will be down giving us an example of compassionate food preparation - there may be some real chocolate on the go. Highlights include:

Volunteers will be free to engage in some hands-on practical gardening with maybe a few unusual workshops to whet the appetite. Don't be surprised to find anything from home-brewing to herbal medicine.

Farmers market and Boot Fair

These stalls will be strictly ethical and will include meat, bread and vegetables. Over time we’d like to create an urban nature oasis with an organic food display and a few animals. Despite our petition to city farms we may have to wait a little while longer. The food on sale will include your very own local scrumpy.

Everything else

There will also be the opportunity to hear political views surrounding food issues and land access. Our speaker’s corner features:

Also pencilled in is:

Finally, we are particularly looking for contributions on the theme of food and garden from the art world, whether you see yourself as a photographer, painter or poet. The coordinator would very much like to see your work and can be contacted direct on eight.merlyn@virgin.net. On top of this anyone who would like to exhibit their project should contact the website direct. Priority of viewing will be given to those who actively engage in working towards a greener London. All contributors and volunteers will be rewarded with a meal voucher.

The 2nd BROCKWELL BAKE 'real baking' event

Following last year's success the Brockwell Bake event returns to the Food and Garden Zone with extra added ingredients! Our event will be working with and supporting the Traditional CornMillers Guild and the Real Bread Campaign.
