This special feeling towards fruit, its glory and abundance, is I would say universal.... We respond to strawberry fields or cherry orchards with a delight that a cabbage patch or even an elegant vegetable garden cannot provoke. |

Nobody seems more obsessed by diet than our anti-materialistic, otherworldly, New Age spiritual types. But if the material world is merely illusion, an honest guru should be as content with Budweiser and bratwurst as with raw carrot juice, tofu and seaweed slime. |

We plan, we toil, we suffer - in the hope of what? A camel-load of idol's eyes? The title deeds of Radio City? The empire of Asia? A trip to the moon? No, no, no, no. Simply to wake just in time to smell coffee and bacon and eggs. |

Food Tip |
Wash and sort gooseberries. Place in a large enamelled pot and crush
berries. Add chopped bergamot leaves. Add enough water to cover and
simmer until soft, then pour into a clean jelly bag. Let drip
overnight.
Measure the juice and add the sugar. Stir over a low heat to
dissolve the sugar, then bring to a rolling boil. Boil until jelly
sheets on a spoon. Skim if a skin forms on the surface. Pour into
hot sterilized jars and seal.
The bergamot is not the European bergamot, but rather the North
American herb, Monarda didyma, and related species.
This is my own tried and true recipe, so please enjoy it.
