MoonBites is a feast of great-tasting contemporary recipes as well as farming facts and local food news from Chichester on the UK's south coast. It’s a very ‘home-made’ website, reflecting the challenges and the rewards of eating fabulous, local food. I hope you find some tasty morsels of local inspiration here.
On Thursday, 26th August 2010 the Dalai Lama made this Tweet: DalaiLama It is worth saying over and over that ethical discipline entails more than just restraint. It also entails the cultivation of virtue. His Holiness would be pleased that we are to debate The Virtues of Local Food here in Chichester on Friday, 10th September.
Take part in my special MoonBites events at the Chichester Local Food Fare.
Focus on My Food Photography Competition
The Virtue of Local Food Free discussion and debate, at Cloisters Cafe, Chichester Cathedral
Dish of the Day
is a key ingredient of the site, with 4 or 5 recipes each week as part of 7 seasonal recipe suggestions for you.
Spiced aubergine dip. Great for nibbles, as a salad or spooned on top of roast lamb or chicken.
Devilled crab cocktail. Sounds posh, tastes fab, looks really good. Use tea cups if you haven’t got metal moulds.
Squid goulash. A rich main course soupy stew, a marvellous way to use some tomatoes and celebrate local squid.
Cottage pie. Clear out your fridge and make something truly tasty, warming and full of flavour.
Chocolate fudge fingers. Made them a few weeks ago and now the Chief Taster wants more!
Italian fig and pear salad. Just feeling smug as our fig tree is doing rather well right now!
Toffee apple jacks. Cake or pudding? Doesn’t matter: it’s delicious.
Why not treat yourself to a food course in the beautiful surroundings of West Dean College? Details are here, and further information can also be found on the West Dean website. The next show is Totally Tomatoes (4th and 5th September), and there’s a competition for the Heaviest Tomato. Have a go!
