Delicious Recipes to Celebrate Organic September
To celebrate Organic September and inspire people to cook with seasonal organic ingredients the Soil Association has collected a mouth-watering array of recipes from renowned chefs and food writers including Allegra McEvedy, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Valentine Warner, Sophie Grigson, Jane Baxter, Raymond Blanc, Geetie Singh, Darina Allen, Tim Bouget and Xanthe Clay.
During Organic September, the biggest annual celebration of all things organic, the Soil Association is encouraging supporters to organise an organic food fundraiser to raise money for the Soil Association and help them work toward a more sustainable food and farming future.
Whether it's a dinner, a breakfast, a bake sale, or a pot-lunch at work the resources available from their website and recipes can be adapted to make your event a great success.
The delicious recipes are based on ingredients which are seasonal to September and include Caponata, Green Bean Sabzi, Sweetcorn and Pepper Relish, and Lemony Courgettes on Toast.
For those with a sweet tooth, desserts include Apple Granita, Blackberry and Apple Muffins, Chocolate and Beetroot Brownies, and Raspberry Millefeuille.
Darina Allen, owner of the internationally renowned Ballymaloe Cookery School at Shanagarry, Co. Cork, Ireland, said:
I support Organic September because I'm convinced of the health giving properties of food grown on rich fertile soil without artificial pesticides and chemicals.
A world class line up of chefs, including contributing chefs Jane Baxter, Lynda Brown, Sophie Grigson, and Tim Bouget, will be imparting their culinary wisdom at the Soil Association Organic Food Festival on the 3rd and 4th September.
Celebrating its 11th anniversary, this much loved festival takes place at Bristol's Harbourside and is the perfect day out for food lovers and families alike.
The more people tune into the pleasures of organic food the more chance they get to discover the restorative impact it has on the world around us. The simple truth is that organic farming is good for everyone. It’s a win-win situation.
Sophie Grigson, food writer and broadcaster
