All of my memories were about food
Food eating contests with all my friends
who could eat more hamburgers, who could eat more school lunches
What kind of cake did I want for my birthday?
When I was four it was a choo-choo train cake
But then it became a lemon meringue pie by the time I was ten
I started to enjoy cooking for other people
even before I started cooking
I just try and cook food that I'm very interested in eating
And things that I would make for myself at home
whether it was for ten people or two people
Here it¡¯s about coming together to have a moment in time
to discuss ideas or your daily things
Or things that you¡¯ve learned
or potential future projects
Here at the academy
lives are changed and their lives are changed
in their relationships with food and through food
They realise what they put in their body matters
and they realise when they¡¯re eating things that are in season they feel better
And that really nature is providing us with a diet that
we¡¯re meant to have in the moment that we need to have it
Sustainability is really something that we did for eons
And it¡¯s always been this way, you ate what you found
and what you found was what nature gave you
and some years it was more and some years it was less
And through agriculture we¡¯ve been able to create a culture
Because the moment where we could all gather around a meal
and share a meal and sustain multiple lives together as a group
we created culture
