Amok is a special cambodian curry; it's steamed rather than fried, and has egg in it, so it comes out with a solid but mousse-like consistancy. We made it with those big tiger fish from the market. Delicious.
Here is another scarf from my spring line. The fabric is a sumptuous cotton voile; super lightweight, and yet with a high thread count, so it's incredibly soft. I love the combination of this tumeric gold with the grey. The fabric print is by Anna Maria Horner (her Little Folks Voile collection).
Hmm- what should I call this- Indo-European? I've got lima and navy beans in a sauce out of mirpoix, garlic, turmeric, ginger, crushed red pepper, mustard and a touch of berbere and paprika as well.
It seemed a fitting bed for the holy pig...

Occurring once in every 210 days in the Balinese cycle of days, Kuningan is the end of the most important of the regular religious ceremonies for the 10-day Galungan period.
During this period the deified ancestors of the family descend to their former homes. They must be suitably entertained and welcomed, and prayers and offerings must be made for them. Those families who have uncremated deceased ones buried in the village cemetery must make offerings at the graves.
Kuningan takes its name from the fact that special offerings of yellow rice (nasi kuning) are made by colouring ordinary white rice with tumeric (kunyit). It is a time for family groups, prayers, and offerings, as their ancestors return to heaven.
This Galungan period is also a symbolic representation of a battle between good and evil, and the most important function of Kuningan is to celebrate the victory of good over evil so that the balance and harmony of the world can be maintained.
Unlike the more public processions of village temple ceremonies and cremations, most Kuningan celebrations take place in the privacy of the home, in the shrines of the family temple and house compound.
The day after Kuningan is a time for a holiday, visiting, and having fun.

No trick-or-treaters in our building, but if there were, I think I'd be whipping up a great big batch of these. They'd be great for a party too. It's been almost a year since I made my first batch of homemade playdough, but I'm still a big fan. Cheap, easy, cleans up more easily than the commercial kind and smells nicer too. This batch was colored with paprika, tumeric and mustard, but I've had good luck with kool-aid or just regular food-coloring too. Give these little guys a try and see what you think!
Tumeric is one of my favorite dyes. I did my first solar dye jars and before I entered the fabrics I did some soy wax resist making circles with lids of all sizes. The fabric is hemp silk blend. The tumeric was a dull orange until I used the iron to get out the wax, then it quickly brightened to what you see now. The plum skins were plums fallen from my tree or bird raided pieces. The colors here are a dull grey green with bright pink circles emerging with the heat of the iron. I lost some of the green with the ironing. I used Washing soda in the plum skin jar as well as alum. The washing soda made the color a lot deeper. The two center squares of orange Tumeric are PFD cotton.

Emme thinks she is a food stylist. I gave up and just shot the photo with her in it. Afterwards, she buried the spoon under a rug.

Clarke, Clerkin and Kaur: The Thing With Maltasingh.
A bunch of furniture-making mavericks (headed by the inimitably subversive Carl Clerkin) persuaded Sheridan Coakley (the beneficial godfather of London furniture design) to donate any unwanted content of his warehouse - scrap timber, bits of old chairs, broken returns, string, fabric, the lot. Then a design gang of usual suspects (think Marriott, Hellum, Harrison, Warren, Neal, Kurrein and more) dedicated themselves with typical anarchic zeal (some over many days) to transforming this rejected "rubbish" into the most humerous, poetic bits of furniture you have ever seen. Oh, I should mention that this is to implement a fabulous story of a deceased Indian curry maestro ("who must have lived for 193 years"), who came from Malta, to print wallpaper with tumeric (on show), peel potatoes, polish leather, wear a turban to conceal hair-loss (there's one on the coat-stand), and put a hole in a beigal. If you believe that, you will believe anything, I feel, but Carl, who tells the tale over two take-away (what else) pages of closely-lined script, has sworn me to secrecy on the finer points. However I can report that the furniture though imaginative par excellence is not a figment of anyone's imagination.
I have posted pics of individual pieces and there will be an auction of the furniture at SCP (135-139 Curtain Road, EC2,
020 7739 1869) hosted by Max Fraser on Monday October 11th at 7pm. Previews from Sunday 9th.
Selling estimates are between £90 and £400, and 10 per cent will be donated to cancer support centre Maggie's.

Our fourth course was presented in a rounded bowl that had to be held by hand as it didn't have a base that could be set on the table. On the lip of the bowl was a notch that allowed for the tines of a fork to balance on. This was important as a cube of Medai, a Japanese butterfish, was set on top of the tines and painted with a lemon-tea-butter sauce. Above this was a sprinkle of coriander, candied tumeric and radish sprouts. We ended off things with the coriander spiced milk that was in the bowl (for me, it was soy milk). I don't remember much more about this course, except for the fact that the fish was rather dense and salty.
