News of a good night out and two 'foodie' events coming up in March from Transition Town West Kirby.
Another slice of Songs on Toast - Wed 16th March, 5-7pm
With the amazing Krunk Band
Bring a song or a poem.
At Toast, West Kirby station.
Razor clam sortie on Sunday 20th March
(dependent on weather)
Join us in a forage along the seashore for razor clams. Gordon Ramsay describes them as "quite a treat as they come with sweet and meaty flesh" in this recipe - Razor Clams with Sautéd Mushrooms
All welcome - Meet at 4.30 - 4.45pm outside 192 Meols Parade, Hoylake (not far from the junction with Dovepoint Road). Please email ttwk.food@gmail.com or telephone 625 0608 to book a place and give contact details - it can only go ahead if the weather that weekend is suitable.
You must wear wellingtons or similar, as we will be walking across sand, mud and very cold water. Bring along a couple of plastic water bottles (such as a 750 ml bottle) with the 'sqeezy' type end so that water can be jettisoned out of the top of the bottle and into the holes in the sand that are caused by the clams. The contents of the bottles should be an extreme salt solution which can be created by boiling a kettle and pouring the water into a bowl and dissolving into it table salt until it dissolves no more! (i.e. just keep on pouring the salt in until it no longer dissolves.) Alternatively one can just bring along a couple of plastic cartons of salt (but from experience the bottle idea is far superior).
There will be some cockling bags that can be used to carry whatever we catch, and if we have time we will show people how to gather cockles using a rake.
2nd Hoylake Food Fair Sunday 27th March, 10 - 2pm
A repeat of the very popular Food Fair last October. Buy from a huge variety of fresh and seasonal food brought directly to you by local producers. This time we've taken over the first floor at Hoylake Community Centre too, so there'll be more choice, more produce and more room to circulate. Keep an eye on our website to see who will be there.
At 12 noon there will be a children's cookery demo from tv chef Aiden Byrne, new chef of The Collingwood, West Kirby.
The Food Fair is run by volunteers, with profits going to support Hoylake Community Centre. If you're able to help please fill in our online form or contact me directly.
Please circulate this email, speak to friends and family about the food fair, and if you can, put up the attached poster somewhere - in your office at work or local shop, church, school etc
