The Language of Consent
I have been thinking a lot about consent lately; it’s become a bit of a buzzword and that’s no bad thing. As an educator, I generally think about consent in terms of sex education and the fact that still, in 2018, consent is not explicitly taught to primary aged children.

Pumpkin Spice: IS It Everything Nice?
It's officially that time of year for the autumn folk, those fall fevered pumpkin eaters who'd like to skip summer and do fall twice. I know I'm one of them, and I'm hankering for my favourite season already, even though Summer's just begun!

Breakfast for... Breakfast?
Firstly I'd like to state that this is my first story/recipe/whatever-I-want-to-call-it, so therefore if you are interested in reading more, then I'm sorry you must truly be delusional. That being said, I hope you enjoy the amalgamation of witless banter and bad decisions that is going to follow. Good luck.

Battenberg
Battenberg may seem intimidating when you first try to attempt it, I felt the same way when I first tried. I've been on the hunt for a recipe that tastes good, yields a professional looking cake but isn't ludicrously complicated. This is what I came up with.

Best Healthy Cookbooks of 2018
If there's one trope that has long plagued people who want to eat healthy, it's the "bad health food" stereotype. Health food of the past was known for being pretty terrible, having weird textures, or smelling foul. Nowadays, this isn't the case.

SKEP – Fruit Routes Summer 2018. Top Story - June 2018.
Fruit Routes, June 2018 at Loughborough University in the U.K., was three days of events created and curated by artists and food activists Anne-Marie Culhane & Paul Conneally around food systems, food production, eating together, growing, and climate change. Fruit Routes always has a feast built into it, sometimes more than one; this year it was a Wild Tea Party called 'In Your Hands' where foraged nettle and sage tea was drunk followed by tasseography, a reading of the tea leaves.

Gumbo
My mother's family is from Louisiana. Growing up in southern California I thought Louisiana was the best place to be from. My maternal grandfather, Arthur "Pops" Smith, worked on the railroad and brought his wife and nine kids to Los Angeles from Shreveport, Louisiana in the late 1940s. Decades before my birth, he started a series of successful businesses. My grandmother, a stay at home mom, was the glue and matriarch of the family, big and tall in stature, she was affectionately called "Big Mom". The family originally settled in Watts, a suburb of south Los Angeles where the kids attended school and eventually moved on to Compton, a city a little further south. As my grandfather's businesses continued to grow, he and his wife moved to a newly developed city called Carson, just a little more south of Compton.

Eight Foods You Won't Believe Have a Museum Devoted to Them
Food museums channel our fascination with cooking and food manufacturing methods, offering us a window into how our ability to master them has evolved throughout history. While most well-known museums of this sort tend to focus on the broader strokes of the science, mechanics, and artistry of food prep and enjoyment, many choose more specific areas of focus. For every Museum of Food and Drink or New York Food Museum, there seems to be a growing number of institutions devoted to spreading the gospel of a single food item like the ones shared here.
