[Sca-cooks] Online Food Magazine from Cumbria

[Elise Fleming]

Greetings!  I have been (periodically) looking at a Cumbrian foodways 
magazine which has now launched a very lovely new version.  Cumbria is 
the home of Ivan Day, where I have attended some four different courses 
of his.  While the magazine isn't "period", they support and encourage 
old ways of doing things.  I thought that a number of you might be 
interested in seeing the current magazine.  There are videos included 
and a number of explanations of things that would be appropriate to 
cooking re-creation folk.  Here is what they sent out:

Today we launched a monthly magazine to complement the Artisan-food 
website, and each month you will receive a link to the magazine when we 
publish it. (click the link below for this months edition)

This time we are covering "Real bread" around the county, which is 
pretty timely given the Real Bread campaigns current press coverage 
describing Supermaket bakeries as "loaf tanning salons". I wish we'd 
thought of that soundbite, but we where too busy filming the morning 
shift in one of Cumbria's real bakeries, the fabulous Staff Of Life in 
Kendal. You can watch this short video in the magazine along with some 
other taste bud tingling clips.

We have some great contributors to the magazine, notably Annette Gibbons 
OBE, one of Cumbria's well know local foodies. Peter Sidwell, who runs 
the Good Taste Cafe in Keswick and who has just been signed up for his 
own TV series. As well as Caroline Watson from Yew Tree Farm, one of our 
favourite local producers, rearing Herdwick and Belted Galloway from her 
iconic farm near Coniston. This month Caroline explains what Spring Lamb 
really is!

We ask you to do one thing right now, in return for the magazine. Please 
forward this e-mail to at least one good foodie friend. If you can 
e-mail it to more then that would be great. We want your support!.
