Aubergines / Eggplant / Brinjals are not to everyone’s taste, but to a non-meat eater they are often a substitute in many a meal. A ratatouille sauce – red onions, garlic, aubergines, courgettes, peppers and tomatoes, basil and thyme can be served with pasta, rice or just a hunk of crusty bread.

They come in all sorts of colours and shapes too. But despite the name I think this one is definitely purple!

Have You any Edible purples?

This is the last week for purple so get yours in before next Sunday when we move to a different colour.

This month we will be looking for Purple. A secondary colour made from red and blue, though you can find many different shades of purple. Try to stay clear of violet though as that will be making its own appearance. Although found in nature in shades of crocuses, lilacs, and irises look for the bruised colours in a sunrise or sunset, an indigo sea, a full moon in an inky sky. The darkness of a red wine, a rich velvet curtain or a starling’s wing.

And although a little late, I shall dedicate this one to World Bee Day.

There’s a website for World Bee Day that tells you all about the importance of bees and the essential role they play in the production of our food.

Are there any unusual purples in your world?
