Trill Farm : Devon
With Daphne Lambert
Four seasonal week-end courses in which Daphne helps you to unfold the relationship between soil, water, food & health. Each week-end focuses on the foods growing or harvested at Trill Farm; in the garden, from the hedgerows, woods and meadows.
Natures seasons give us a beautiful rhythm to live by.
The upward moving essence of Spring creates tiny shoots of green energy. Spring foods rejuvenate and help us cleanse the body. During the Summer months nature gives us a bedazzling array of colourful fruits and vegetables that fire the imagination. In Autumn the everything in nature contracts and moves its essence inwards and downwards, the foods that are abundant at this time of year support us as we prepare for Winter. The foods that nourish us most during the reflective period of Winter are the dense textured, earthy flavours of root crops like parsnip, swede, turnip, celeriac, beetroot, Jerusalem artichoke and potatoes. These together with the Winter crops of brassicas and chard and the salty flavour of sea vegetables are the foods best suited to eat in the Winter months.
In the Spring we look at foods that support cleansing; in the Summer we look at foods to support the heart, in Autumn the foods that support beneficial gut bacteria and in the Winter nutrient dense foods that support the immune system. Each weekend we look at different ways to prepare the seasons bounty to maximise the nutrition and together prepare all our meals.

Food allergy is caused when the immune system misjudges a harmless protein, interpreting it as a threat. The immune system studies the perceived threat, called an allergen, and in preparation for any further exposure develops antibodies, special cells designed to detect it
You are now "sensitized" to the mistaken allergen. Then, the next time you're exposed to this allergen, your immune system jumps into action. The antibodies pick up the allergen and deliver it to white blood cells called mast cells, which trigger the release of chemicals like histamine inducing the allergic symptoms of sneezing, itching, swelling and rashes.
Food intolerance is the inability to break down food completely into absorbable components The unabsorbed food that remains in the digestive system causes the classic symptoms of bloating, cramps and mal-absorption
The fundamental difference is that an allergy is an immune response and intolerance is not, both however have serious health implications.
During the day as well as creating mouthwatering dishes that are gluten, dairy, soya, and egg free we will discuss some of the challenges people face who have allergies or intolerance to certain foods.nourishing day of food wisdoms from living soil to vibrant plants to healthy humans,
