Autumn Makeover Brief Anyone?

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Picture 1As Lisa prepares to jet off to LA (again!) next week, with the her top secret international communications gang. and she had to show off by doing the obligatory weather check.  And you guessed it the sun still has its hat on in la la land.

This news, of course, kick started office chat about whether autumn here really is all its cracked up to be.   It turns out half of us love it when it’s so cold it makes your face tingle (that will undoubtedly sound wrong to those who hate the cold but so right to those who appreciate seasons), whereas most of us (and no, not just girls) want to click our fingers straight through to next summer.  It seems autumn could do with a bit of PR polish.  Autumn rocks: come on people, get outdoors, check out the colours and enjoy the tingling face… and reward yourself with a pint in a cosy pub for afters.

Put that in your LA pipe and smoke it!

Think I’m Turning Japanese….

Rice_Field_Art_01With Halloween over and the little Witches and Wizards back at school, The Kitchen have something special in store for the grown-ups, a Master Class in Japanese Vegetarian Cooking.

Here at PrettyGreen, we’re a bunch of self-confessed carnivores, except Lisa who won’t even wear leather shoes (she was particularly concerned about leather pant wearing at the PRCA Awards), but after a summer of Meat Free Mondays campaigning to cut out meat one day of the week to help combat Global Warming we have to admit there is more to being veggie than meets the eye – there’s surely more to meal times than steak and chips? We’ve just found ourselves lacking the know-how to make inspired vegetarian meals.

So this Monday we’re marching down to The Kitchen’s Specialist Master Class in Japanese Vegetarian Cooking to expand our limited palettes and learn how to make creative and colourful meals without meat -Lisa, is only too eager to be inspired by Master Class host Shirley Booth while the rest of us can’t wait to see how to create a fabulous vegetarian feast, and save the planet.

Shirley’s not only knows a thing or two about vegetarian she’s also a leading authority on Japanese food, and author of the award-winning ‘Food of Japan’, sounds perfect.
