Hey :) I just wanted to let people know (especially those in the Cardiff, Wales area) about a project I'm involved in called Siop y Bobl (The Shop of the People).

Thanks GA :-)

Now I know there are all kinds of legal requirements but am unsure as to what they are exactly. I was wondering if someone could po...

Soya beans rock, I use them instead of peas :-) But now to quinoa... This isn't a recipe in the traditional sense, but its delicious anyway. Quinoa-Stuffed Squash You'll need some squashes-I've used butternut and baby pumpkin types with success Quinoa, cooked in vegetable stock and fried in with oni...
