Fairtrade Fortnight runs from 22nd February to 8th March 2010. The themed event will focus on “the big swap”. The idea is to get people to swap to Fairtrade certified products from the conventional products they currently purchase, with a special emphasis on tea. Since everyone likes a slice of cake and a biscuit with their Fairtrade cup of tea, it's been a chance for Kate at Tropical Wholefoods to get her baking hat on again and tell everyone about the gorgeous recipes we have on our website and in our little brochure. Her current favourites are the Tea Loaf which uses Tropical Wholefoods Chewy Banana Chips and Bogoya Banana (along with Fairtrade Tea and raisins) and Amoretti Biscuits which uses Fairtrade natural Apricot Kernels. Check out some of the other Apricot Kernel recipes too – like the Savoury Biscuits, and the Orange and Apricot Kernel Cake on our website: http://www.fmfoods.co.uk/resources/recipes.htm
Sally Reith at Shared Interest is baking a Fairtrade recipe every day of Fortnight and is kicking off with our Banana and Walnut Tea Loaf. (Thank you Sally!) We will also be baking for the Fairtrade Tea Dances in Newcastle and London on 27th February.
If anyone would like recipes and ingredients to use during Fairtrade Fortnight, please get in touch with rachel@fullwellmill.co.uk and she can send you a pack.
Kate will also be putting up recipes on our blog: http://tropicalwholefoods.blogspot.com/
