Competitions for Organic Fortnight!

In celebration of Organic Fortnight (6th - 21st September 2008), Grow Wild were looking for creative talent, be it in the kitchen or in poetry writing! Grow Wild ran two competitions and can today (4th October 2008) announce the winning entries!

1 Recipe competition to win one year’s membership to the Soil Association.

Winner: Jacqueline Jenkins for her innovative "Bacon & Egg Spaghetti"

Bacon & Egg Spaghetti

Cut up the bacon - preferably smoked variety. Fry it up to crisp state.

Put a large pan of salted water on to boil and cook thick-sized spaghetti. Whilst this is cooking, whisk up 2 beautiful organic free range eggs, with a sprinkling of a tasty hard cheese e.g pecorino or a Scottish equivalent. Drain the spaghetti and add it to the hot pan of fried bacon pieces and pour on the eggs. Mix very well and serve immediately with lots of black pepper and maybe a drizzle of olive oil/bacon fat. (You can substitute mushrooms for bacon for a vegetarian alternative).

A very satisfying, quick, nutritious, comforting meal.

2 Children’s poetry competition to win a selection of organic goodies.

Winner: Lucy McLuckie (aged 9) for her fantastic poem titled "Fruit".

Fruit

Apple, orange, pear, banana,

the most delicious fruity drama

An explosion of flavour, taste and texture,

some the most peculiar mixture.

Apple and orange taste so yummy,

but pear and banana are in my TUMMY!

We are sorry we can't give out prizes to all the poetry writers since they were all fantastic, and really gave us a lot of pleasure, but our message to all those who entered is to keep going with the creativity!
