This is featured extensively, and the records of my planting and successes/failures are detailed for the keen. I hope that the site is able to encourage those reading it to be inspired about food and the means of its production. <p> As I continue to travel and cook, I shall be able to put you, the reader of the site, in touch with food suppliers, seed merchants and restaurants that share my ideal that good food, produced locally, should be at the heart of our lives. I hope that you enjoy it - happy reading and happy cooking! <p> I have also added a link to the <a href="menu.html">menu bar</a> which contains the links to most of the other html files
