Looking for something a bit different to check out this weekend? Well, how about going to Haringey’s first seed swap event, organised by Haringey Allotments Forum and Sustainable Haringey’s Food Group.

The idea is simple and a good one - bring along seeds to swap if you have them, and trade with other flower and vegetable enthusiasts to find something new to grow in your garden!

The venue is Bruce Castle and refreshments will be available. The event is being organised by Seven Sisters Permaculture and is running this Sunday the 22nd Feb between 2pm and 4pm. For more information, you can email jehanna@gn.apc.org or sevensisterspermaculture@wikispaces.org.uk

This Saturday the 17th January, if you go to Core, at 1 South Wharf Rd, 12 West End Quay, W2 1JB there is a Chinese wellbeing event that is due to start at 5pm. Time Out reports this as a wellbeing and networking event combined with a Chinese New Year celebration (this year will be Year of the Ox), and it will feature healthy food tasting sessions and guest speaker Ching-He Huang from the BBC TV programme ‘Chinese Food Made Easy’.

It is a shame that so much Chinese food in London is covered with unhealthy sauces loaded with MSG. Ching-He Huang’s website recipes don’t contain any artificial ingredients and look delicious!
