Tweed food, herbs on the road & GM bongos

Make sure you tune into a great belly today – you will hear:

Kerry from Tweed Foodie Fest, Deb Shortis from Byron Herb Nursery and Amica Sanday on genetically modified food. She's written a 'Monsanto' song especially for Belly and will be singing it live with me on the bongos!

BELLY BULLETIN

Just in time for Christmas – a big team of volunteers has put together the Bangalow Banquet Cookbook.  All  proceeds go directly to the Bangalow Public School and The Bangalow Community Children's Centre.  The authors promise not just lots of great recipes, but a culinary journey of the past, present and future of Bangalow and the hinterland.  A simple way to step into a culinary Tardis!  With 260 pages and lots of pictures, this project involved a lot of community support.  The funds for printing are still being gathered right this minute.  You can pre-order from Bangalow Public School Front Office. Byron Street, Bangalow. 0266871434 , or check them out on facebook, or listen to belly on December 2 when some of the team chat with sister Tess.    Bangalow Banquet was crowd funded through pozible. The  fundraising campaign deadline is 12 midday today, just as belly goes to air.  www.pozible.com/bangalowbanquet
