Elderberry Syrup
Submitted by Julian on Tue, 30/09/2008 - 08:18.Most of the elderberries around us seem to have dried up, but at the weekend we just managed to find enough to make a small batch of Elderberry Syrup. We used a recipe from Roger Phillips' book Wild Food. Elderberry syrup is supposed to be a good remedy for winter colds and we'll try it out this winter. The recipe we used is already on the Internet on the Irish Secrets website.

Submitted by John on Fri, 08/08/2008 - 16:21.Frome Festival 2008
It's August already - nearly a whole month since the Festival and time to look back at Food Frome's contribution to the sensational 2008 Frome Festival - 'Best in the West' (although Glastonbury's not bad either). In the end we sponsored or ran four events:
Deep Soup
This was certainly the longest event of the Festival. Artist-cuisinière Miche Fabre Lewin prepared a healing Deep Soup over two complete days (Friday and Saturday).
