ORGANIC CATERING INFORMATION

I worked the summer season 2010 at Seaton Delaval Hall running a small catering outlet for the National Trust, firstly in The Summerhouse in the gardens which I called "Picnic in the Park" then "The Starlight Tearoom", in the Salon at the back of the Main Hall, which I ran as a small franchise, selling my home-made cakes, scones etc., along with organic tea, coffee and soft drinks - donating a percentage of my takings to the National Trust. This was very hard work but also very rewarding from a satisfaction point of view, and I enjoyed it immensely, however I now feel that I have fulfilled a longstanding ambition and want to move on to other things.


"THE STARLIGHT TEAROOM"

I had to put my Art on hold during this time, but can now devote more of my time to my painting, for which I'm grateful, as my Art is my own personal therapy, as you will learn from reading more on this website.

HOWEVER I AM STILL ALSO ABLE TO OFFER CATERING

I AM STILL VERY HAPPY TO SUPPLY INDIVIDUAL HOME-BAKED ITEMS

About Organics

Three Reasons to Choose Organic

Safer:

Organic Food is produced naturally, with unnecessary chemical sprays being avoided. Food additives may be linked to asthma, heart disease and some cancers, and are therefore banned under organic standards.

Tastier:

Many people agree that organic food tastes better and is "like food used to taste".

Environment and Animal Welfare:

Organic farming is friendlier to the environment so there is greater diversity of birds, butterflies and plants on organic farms. GM technology is banned. Animals are kept in more natural, free-range conditions with a more natural diet.

With all the food scares of today, eating organic food is safer, tastier and ultimately better for the environment - and need not cost a fortune!

Organic Recipes

Most recipes in any cookery book can have the "normal" ingredients substituted for organic versions - many supermarkets, farm shops and health food shops have a good stock of organic products - I even use organic icing sugar. However some ingredients are harder to find, and some impossible, but I think that if about 80% of the ingredients are organic then it can be classed as an organic food item.

I HAVE MANY RECIPES, SOME ARE LISTED BELOW.
