As Jamie says in his article for the Huffington Post<\/a><\/b>, “Food Revolution Day is an opportunity for everyone around the world to People tend to see Jamie as that cheeky guy from Essex, the naked chef. What a lot of folks don’t realize is the fact that he actually uses his ‘celebrity chef’ status to do good, to make a change. In 2005 he declared war to the unhealthy British school dinners<\/b><\/a>, in 2010 he took the fight to Amerika. He has built kitchens all over Britain with his Ministry of Food<\/b><\/a>, to learn people how to cook so they can teach others<\/b> to do so as well. He is passionate about food and people’s relationship with food.<\/p>\n <\/a> Vanilla honey rhubarb galette<\/b><\/a> by Zita from ‘Zizi’s adventures’ in Hungary ……………………………………………………………………………<\/p>\n I am preparing Moules et frites<\/b>, Mussels with real Belgian fries.<\/p>\n
\ndo something. The Food Revolution and Food Revolution Day is about
\nempowering people through education or, frankly, just inspiring people
\nto be more street-wise about food, where it comes from and how it
\naffects their bodies. If you know how to cook you can save yourself
\nmoney, feel better and live longer, and the chances are, your kids will
\nfollow suit. After all, we all kind of become our parents in the end.”<\/i><\/p>\n
\n<\/i>
\nToday on 19 May, Food Revolution Day<\/b> will happen in kitchens, homes and communities around the world. <\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nWe are friends<\/b> who have one big thing in common; our love for food – real food<\/b>. So we found it very important to get involved. As we live in various places around the world and we couldn’t sadly be together for this day, we
\nare having a ‘virtual Potluck<\/b>‘ dinner, this is where every guest brings a dish<\/b>
\nshe or he made to the table. We are
\nall preparing local sustainable food<\/b>, in the hope to inspire others to
\ncook<\/b> on this day. The dishes will be easy to cook and no processed food<\/b> is allowed.We can’t be together today ladies, but we are closer together than some people will ever be. Have a wonderful Food Revolution Day!<\/div>\n

\nRhubarb Panna Cota<\/b><\/a> by Sarka from ‘Cook your dream’<\/b>, England-originally from Czech Republic<\/p>\n
\nLike oysters and clams, mussels actually clean the water they\u2019re grown in<\/b>.
\nThey have no impact on the water because they don’t require treatment against disease.
\nMussels are also high in protein, zinc, vitamin C, Iron and omega-3 so they are a healthy <\/b>food choice.It has been said for hundreds of years<\/b> that mussels are in season in each month that has an ‘R’ in it, but this is an old tale that originated from a time when there was no cooled transport. The fishermen couldn’t get the mussels live and well to their destination.
\nNow the season runs from July until april for the ‘Zeeuwse’ mussels<\/b>, so I was very lucky to get the last of the catch.
\nI live just a 15 minute drive from Zeeland<\/b>, where the ‘Zeeuwse’ mussel happily lives and thrives in the protected waters<\/b> from the River Schelde.We are going to bake the Belgian fries in the traditional way using ‘Beef tallow’ for frying<\/b>. The real ‘Frit kot’ (chip shops) in Belgium still uses this Beef tallow -rendered beef fat- and swear by it because it is actually healthier than the vegetable oil<\/b> that is been used in a lot of places these days.
\nBeef tallow is highly resistant<\/b>
\nto rancidity and much more resistant to high temperatures than the
\nvegetable oil. To be safe to eat you can only use the vegetable oil once
\nbut due to its higher price a lot of places use it twice or more,
\nleaving the customer often with stomach and intestinal pains. Also in flavour<\/b>, the vegetable oil can’t compete with the beef tallow and as for sustainability<\/b>… beef tallow<\/b> also wins because its a by-product<\/b>!
\nSo if you want to start eating from nose to tail<\/b>, beef tallow is the way to go. Just ask your local butcher<\/b> and I’m sure he’ll be happy to oblige.<\/div>\n
