Myself and my husband and daughter are taking part in a challenge based in Framlingham, Suffolk, to only eat local food during September 2011. The group promoting the challenge Greener Fram www.greenerfram.co.uk are a local Transition Town group and are looking at ways to reduce our dependence on oil. The rules of the challenge are simple. You must only eat food grown within a 30 mile radius of your home for the 30 days of September. The exceptions to this are 3 items chosen before the challenge starts, one of mine being tea, essential!

Vegetarianism

To add a new perspective to the challenge we are attempting vegetarianism this week!
I am not going to be too strict, a bit of fish and perhaps some meat stocks (already made up) but no actual animal flesh is the idea.

Tonight was good old baked spuds, very expensive cheese, salad, corn on the cob and grated raw carrot and beetroot (plus some sneaky boiled eggs I had half thought would be for lunch tomorrow).

A good place to look to get some ideas on meat free seasonal recipes is http://www.fifediet.co.uk/how-to-do-it/

To celebrate the end of vegetarian week we will indulge in a local and free range chicken and see how many meals we can make it last for.
