Description:
Finally, a new Show!
I’ve been really busy, as you will here. This is sort of a come-back
show. This may not be suitable for work, or small children because I
get a little hot under the collar at a few places…..
Description:
This week’s show
is the first, post-holiday and is packed with updates. Lots going on.
Podchef talks about gardening, a horrible bout of bad weather, the
polytunnel, forcing rhubarb, and much more before getting stuck into
making a fish pie.
Here’s a short film
to cheer the mid-winter soul. I meant this as a Christmas greeting of
sorts, but it’s a bit late, as usual. The sentiment remains the same
though!
Description:
Just in time
for Christmas, a totally non-Christmasy show! This time we re-visit
corning beef with Brisket of Torino, and we talk about news and weather.
Description:
This week’s show
is a few days later than I wanted. Lot’s going on. I hope you will
enjoy it. In #160 we talk about Guerrilla Gardening, ordering seeds,
the hot food-news topics and I give you my mother’s Fruit Cake Recipe.
Description:
This week’s show is here.
The Zoom h4 is working great, but I’m still working on getting the
right sound in Kitchen Studio. This week there’s news, life on Podchef
Island, The Demise of Pinkie Winkie, and a Swiss Chard, Bacon &
Kale mega-quiche.
Description:
This week’s episode
is here! The new Zoom H4 gets its test drive in this slightly longer
show. In addition, a new oven has arrived in Kitchen Studio. I managed
to score a new but never installed oven off of Craig’s List for a
fraction of the cost and it works brilliantly. We use it to make
Profiteroles filled with Quince.
This show began way back in October. I had some technical difficulties, which are now solved. So here then are a couple of
fragments joined together to create something I hope you’ll enjoy.
First I gather Rose Hips to make syrup and then I cook a Green Tomao
Curry.
Recently, we fired up
the Wood Oven to bake bread. In order to achieve the maximum bake we
preheat the oven the night before and usually bake pizza while we do.
Here then is a short film about that activity. A fuller feature is
coming about baking bread in the oven. Kudos to Big Ed to getting me
out there to film the process!
Description:
Finally, after a long pause–a new episode!
I’m sorry it has taken so long to post this. My life is not my own
these days, as you will here. Hopefully, though, things will even out
and I can continue to bring you a weekly show and more videos soon.
Meanwhile, enjoy what you can.
Description: Here’s a short film about what I got up to in the Month of August. From teaching an on-farm workshop, to harvesting barley, traveling across the country to cook and back to give a cooking demonstration at the county fair, it was a busy month. Enjoy.
Here’s a short film
about my recent trip to the East Coast and the local meal I cooked
there for some listeners to the show. After touring around the region
where I grew up, I selected some cheese from Cato Corner Farmstead Cheese, some produce from Woodbridge Farm CSA, some excellent lamb from Sankow’s Beaver Brook Farm, and some interesting wines from Priam Vineyards. Along the way my host and I stopped at many farm stands to get additional items for our meal and at Jon’s Fish Market to get some amazingly local, fresh fish. Within a 20 mile radius of our base, Colchester, we found everything we needed to eat well, and that was all within 35 miles of where I grew up. Not bad for local dining with local food.
Description: I give and I give and then I give some more: This is from a farm tour I gave to a few students from Evergreen State College's Sustainable Agriculture program. Some views on pig keeping.
A short film
about moving my pigs when the Evergreen State College Sustainable
Agriculture program students were here. It gives a brief glimpse about
moving them and my livestock philosophy.
Description: This is the cooking demonstration I gave to a group of sustainable ag. students in April. Is is part 1 of 3 videos. I apologize in advance for the wind noise.
Description: A new episode!
In it we cook a garden inspired Cold Chicken & Pea Noodle Salad. I
also go off on a rant about the current, tragic compost poisoning issue
in the UK.
Sorry about the pause in shows. It has been crazy here with haying,
summer work, trying to earn a crust, and some exciting projects I’ve
been working on. Thanks for hanging in there!
Description: Finally, a show!
I’ve been busy with many things, so I apologize for the lack of shows.
This episode is a bit of a catch-up show. It’s been so long that I’ve
even forgotten which episode number it was. First we catch up, then I
take you out tilling, and its back to kitchen studio to learn about
arugula and cook a pepperonata.
Description: A video format of my Agricultural Resource Committee presentation on Farmland Preservation for the Shaw Island Community on April 30th, 2008.
Description:
In this week's show I go off on several rants. I talk about Cottage Economy
and discuss William Cobbett (thanks for the tip, Fiona). I also give
this week's depressing news headlines in the world of grain and food
costs. And we bake our bread dough from last week.
Description:
In this week’s show, Travel, Adventure and Cooking! Well, at least some of that–find out where I’ve been and why, and join me to cook a Fish Stew.

more to listen to and look at. I’ve already posted a couple of things
