Happy New Year dear belly listeners. For this last show of the year I found a few juicy bits from 2012 (actually I found so many that I think I will try to fit in a few more in the coming weeks). We had party nibble suggestions from Sicily (yum) and from scientists (hmmm). And I was finally able to dedicate most of an hour to my favourite 2012 Byron Bay writers festival panel. I really wanted to bring you most of the panel discussion so you could follow the thoughts, the philosophical musings, the enthusiastic book recommendations, & the entertaining arguments. The topic (in theory) was ‘real food’, the participants Gay Bilson, Charlotte Wood, and Mungo MacCallum, chaired by Caroline Baum. If you missed any of it, the audio links are below.
PARTY FOOD/NEW YEAR NIBBLES
I just had Christmas with my mum Franca, and with Rosaria,Enzo,Anita,Francesco,Augusto & Augusto Mario and lots of dogs, a mix of Northern & Southern Italians, so a big variety of delicious dishes on the Christmas table, finishing with colourful Sicilian cassata. Of course, being Italian, as we were digesting on Christmas evening we had to start talking about what one eats for New Year, so I recorded it for you.
I have asked Rosaria, Francesco’s mum, for her pastella recipe, will pop it here when/if I get it.
2012 BYRON BAY WRITERS FESTIVAL PANEL – REAL FOOD
Just the audio for now, my brain is boiling in this weather, but there is plenty of info in the August belly archives on these talented & opinionated panellists.
