So come in and stock up!

*This discount does not apply to online purchases. This discount only applies to purchases made on the 21st of December 2010 and cannot be added to any other offer Organico may have made.

This drink is a favourite nearly year-round in Organico Cafe. It’s nice and easy to make at home so why not give it a try! We adopted the recipe from the Leon recipe book (thanks guys!).

Ingredients
200 mls Lemon Juice, 50g Ginger, 1 big bunch fresh Rosemary
5 Tbsp Local Honey (use Manuka Honey if you are feeling a cold coming on)
(this makes a syrup you can keep in your fridge for a week or more)

Heat the juice, ginger and rosemary, stirring in the honey after 20 minutes and turn off the heat. Let cool completely, then poor into a sterilised bottle (you can leave all the bits in there – it gets yummier every day!).

To make a mug of Cold Buster use 4 tablespoons of the syrup and top up with boiling water and extra honey if desired.

Our new board…just a few of our tasty treats!

Times are tough in West Cork at the moment and Organico Cafe is trying something new! We’re busy Monday to Friday but have been quiet on Saturdays, so we have come up with a great idea – grab a copy of The Grapevine* this week, bring a friend and we’ll offer you an amazing “Buy one Get one Free” offer on any food!

This is a great chance to take a friend for a Free Lunch! Introduce someone to the delights of Organico’s Hot Lunches which include daily specials such as:

• Chicken Curry made with Free Range Chicken
• Vegetarian Three Bean Chili
• Thai Fish Cakes
• Shepard’s Pie with Organic Beef
• Cauliflower & Chickpea Madras
• Grilled Goat’s Cheese Bruschetta with caramelised onions and pesto

Or choose from a delicious selection of sandwiches, coffee and cake or bowl of delicious warming organic soup.

This offer is running every Saturday from now until Christmas!

So that’s our idea – what do you think? Just grab a copy of The Grapevine and bring it in with you – and let us make your Saturdays happier as well as healthier!

*Bring a friend with you and for every meal (or sandwich or coffee & cake) bought you will get a similar or cheaper meal free of charge to eat on the premises there and then! We’re happy because more people get to taste our delicious food. So it’s Win Win for everyone!

Organico Cafe is delighted to present work by Cork artist Aoife O’Brien. Aoife’s work is subtle yet it draws you in – I concur with her statement below that her work is evocative of places we might have known. This show really is worth a visit!

Artists Statement

Visual perception i.e. Interpreting and understanding what we see, is thought to consist of 80% memory and 20% input through the eyes. 1I explore this estimation in my work by offering the viewer depictions or suggestions of imagery, which lead the viewer into his or her own interpretation of what is represented. The aim of the work is to create pictorial spaces, which toy with the viewer’s impulse to believe in them. The fictional compositions hold a tension between reality and fantasy. Anonymity prevails; distancing the viewer from reality, yet the work is strangely evocative of places we sense we might know.

Aoife’s Biography

Born in 1987. Aoife graduated with a BA (Hons) from Crawford College of Art and Design in 2009. Following a successful graduate exhibition she was awarded with a bursary studio space in Backwater Artists Group. Since then she has exhibited in Fledglings ’09 and was invited back to CCAD for a two-person show for Culture Night 2009, as well as exhibiting at The Space, South Mall, Cork, Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh, The Crow Gallery, Temple Bar, Dublin and The Crawford Art Gallery, Emmet Place, Cork and most recently in Seen/Unseen as past of Westport Arts Festival 2010. She has also had two solo exhibitions, the first at Basement Project Space, Cork and the second at Backwater Artists Group, Cork. Her work is represented in collections, including the Office of Public Works and Cork Institute of Technology. She is currently undertaking a residency at Belmont Mill Artists Studios, Co. Offaly.

We have just started shipping our breads and cakes (although not the iced ones yet!) to the whole of Ireland – we have had inquiries over the years but have never actually worked it all out. Now we have found an excellent courier service (Fastways) who guarantee next day delivery if you order at the start or the middle of the week and take very good care of their parcels.

We take orders by email and will call for credit card details. The best idea is to order to fill your freezer (our breads and spelt scones freeze very well) with some treats on the side (our spelt chocolate chip cookies keep for minimum 2 weeks). We bag up everything for maximum freshness and of course everything is freshly baked on the day we send it so even if you don’t freeze it you will get 3-4 days out of a loaf (the Soda breads keep fresh the longest). For more information on our Bakery see here.

In our enthusiasm for rare ancient “Superfoods’’ which we hope might unlock the secret of eternal health, we can often overlook the simple, abundant, local foods that might enrich our health. I think one of the most overlooked foods locally is seaweed. This month I decided to focus on seaweed and share some of the amazing information I have read about the benefits of adding it to our diet.

Historically in Ireland seaweeds have been used in soups and stews, as a cough remedy/convalescent food, for pain-reducing baths, as a glaze for pottery, an ingredient in soap, Read more…

If you are looking for an alternative to plastic bottled water we’ve found a great stainless steel bottle range!

They are non toxic (made from food grade stainless steel – so they don’t need a liner like aluminium bottles), recycleable, durable and great fun colours. Buy our stainless steel bottles here…
