Organico Cafe Cookbook
Hi! I'm Rachel Dare.
I'd like to share some of the recipes and methods I use in Organico Cafe to help others who are interested in cooking with organic and locally grown ingredients. (Note - If you see some text in blue it means I've linked to another site or article which gives more information on this topic)
To give you some background, Organico is the name of our family business.
We have a Healthfood Shop, Organic Bakery, and Organic Cafe. I trained in with Darena Allen in Ballymaloe Cookery School and I now manage our Bakery and Cafe. I have extensive experience in cooking and baking with organic ingredients.
Our ethos is to use organic, fairtrade and locally produced ingredients. The rationale for this is that these ingredients are generally:
1. Tastier
2. Healthier
3. Ecologically Friendly
4. Fair
I use Spelt extensively in the bakery as an alternative to conventional wheat. I also champion the use of local produce as I'm committed to reducing food miles.
All our breads are handmade and are fresh daily - this means that Sean and Sue get up at 2.00am to get the bake out for us!
All my recipes have been tested on humans and no animals were harmed in the production of this article! The ingedients should all be readily available at your local Healthfood shop if in doubt are certainly available at our shop in Bantry.
Organico Cafe, Glengarriff Rd., Bantry, Co. Cork, Ireland. +353 (0)27 55905
Could you post the recipe for the aubergine carrot and cashew nut curry filling that you had as the filling for the hot wrap on Tuesday? I dropped in on a visit through bantry and had the wrap and loved the filling and would love to try make it at home for myself.
Thanks
Sarah
Thanks so much for your comment - we're delighted you enjoyed the wrap. Most of our wrap fillings are made up on the spot with what looks good on the day, not to a recipe as such, but I will certainly pass on your comment to Rachel and we will see what we can do. Hope to see you again Regards Hannah
