Fish and Chips by Adam_T4

It’s January, it’s cold, New Year’s resolutions are proving hard and you want a treat. Try this LIGHT version of fish and chips from Tasty Diaries. Anne Laure of Tasty Diaries writes, “With 8,500 shops dedicated to it, there is no doubt fish and chips is at the very core of British culinary identity. It took me a while, but I learned to enjoy this dish. The trouble is every time I eat it, I feel afterwards as if my entire face is covered with a thick layer of fat. So I figured, there has to be a better way. The good without the bad. I researched it and found it. Try it, you’ll love it. Your heart too.” (more…)

And by purchasing this selection , shoppers would be supporting over 200,000 families in projects that create clean water in Mexico, help farmers rebuild their farms in the Tsunami regions, support co-operative farmers in Italy and a kindergarten and school in Egypt.

Funds from the sale of Café Rebelde Zapatista coffee are used directly for a number of water projects. An average water system for 300 people costs around £4,000. While one can be constructed in less than two months, its average lifespan is 20 years. (more…)
