Veggie in Spain chats with.........
This month Veggie in Spain got together with Tracy Webb to talk about her organic food market stall ‘La Cantina’.
Tracey Webb is originally from the beautiful south east coast of England. However, over 20 years ago she traded those salty sea breezes and rolling grassy green hills for warm, jasmine scented nights and bronzed, sunlit sands. She now lives on the ‘Sun and Avocado Route’ in Velez, Malaga. Vélez is a beautiful clamber of whitewashed houses sitting among luscious green vegetation facing the sparkling, clear waters of the Mediterannian Sea.

River Cottage Veg everyday!
Tying in with a new Channel 4 series of "River Cottage", this features more than 200 recipes for vegetables, along with vibrant photography by Simon Wheeler. The dishes include a salad of grilled courgettes, lemon, garlic, mint and mozzarella; radishes with butter and salt; and lemony guacamole. For this avid meat eater I was very surprised to see a vegetarian based recipe book, I imagine it will be a good for households who have a mix of veggies and meat-eaters gathering round the dinner table. It is not yet released but you can order it on Amazon.
