Congrats, Kathryn! That’s great news. The more people who know about your site, the better!
Was so pleased to see you in the real food handbook! A friend of mine was also in the feature about the community garden in Wooloomooloo!
BTW Tagged you! Come and visit to check it out!
glad to see you getting a mention – shame we don’t get the real food book in the age in Melbourne!
was also interested to see you your recipe for lentl asparagus and haloumi salad – I hadn’t seen this but had added asparagus to the same recipe recently
While not exactly a “new” reader, I haven’t been here very long. Love your crisp, clear layout which makes the blog inviting to read. Love the recipes and more ways of doing vegetables which the three of us in this household all love. We don’t eat fully vegetarian but are on the way. Also like your links.
Well done on mention in MH.
It was a great little handbook, and so nice to see you mentioned in it! Reading through a few pages of the ‘31 ways to a better diet’ has inspired me to try and eat better this week!
Great media coverage! For all new readers – Kathryn is a wealth of sensible advice without any lecturing. Enjoy!!
Thanks to you all. It’s a good little handbook and the first time I’ve seen this kind of mainstream media take-up of the eating local food trend, here in Aus.
