The Age of Warlords Cookbook: Eating for empathy
http://theageofwarlordscookbook.blogspot.com/2011/01/eating-for-empathy.html
Monday, January 24, 2011. It's time to pretend I'm stuck at home in London during the Blitz. I'll be doing this with the help of my new purchase 'Eating for Victory' which is a compilation of official WW2 instruction leaflets on cooking with food rations. I've had a brief look at the table of contents and I've decided to start with 'Crumb Fudge' and 'Dresden Patties' from the 'What's left in the Larder' chapter. It's certain to be enlightening!

The Age of Warlords Cookbook: October 2011
http://theageofwarlordscookbook.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 25, 2011. I wrote this piece for the crowdfunded book The Future We Deserve just over a year ago. Proof 1 edition is now available and includes this essay. The ideas and changes I talk about continue to develop so it's about time I put it up here. What do our contingency plans for the future say about our motivations? The Dark Mountain Project also identifies risks to the 'civilisation' project but asks a much larger question “Has the civilisation project delivered us a society tha...

The Age of Warlords Cookbook: Food, love, and war in words.
http://theageofwarlordscookbook.blogspot.com/2011/09/food-love-and-war-in-words.html
Wednesday, September 14, 2011. Food, love, and war in words. By Annia Ciezadlo gets to the heart of life, friends, and family, and reveals the true source of resilience - human engagement over 'something' that must be truly and honestly shared - in this case that 'something' is food. I was deeply, deeply, moved by this book, it's candor and honesty, and by Annia's fearlessness and humility in the face of war. Day of Honey:A Memoir of Food, Love, and War by Annia Ciezadlo. Is now available on ebook. The C...

The Age of Warlords Cookbook: November 2010
http://theageofwarlordscookbook.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 13, 2010. Powdered Egg Whites: The first experiment. Well finally, as promised nearly a year ago, I have had a crack at a powdered egg whites dish. All the ingredients are either from my pantry or our little herb garden. This was the end result. Delicate and very tasty corn cake ramekins topped with a grilled red pepper and Italian herb salad. I gave these to the girls from Stag. I learned a great deal from the process. According to Pace Farms. It was my hope to make fluffy corn cakes ...

The Age of Warlords Cookbook: Why I'm becoming a nomad
http://theageofwarlordscookbook.blogspot.com/2012/02/why-im-becoming-nomad.html
Thursday, February 16, 2012. Why I'm becoming a nomad. We are going to be talking about austerity for a long time. If not, then we'll be talking about the next great depression, or the last great depression, or end days, or whatever. The new measures to be rolled out in Greece under pressure from the EU. Tramping for Tucker' by Lionel Lindsay from the Josef Lebovic Gallery. To quote a recent article by Charlie Brooker in The Guardian "Money is broken". But can we fix money? Now, Then, What, and When.

The Age of Warlords Cookbook: May 2011
http://theageofwarlordscookbook.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 26, 2011. My visit to 'rabbit country'. Early morning in autumnal Ballan. As you may well be aware I have a fascination with wild rabbits and their role as food in tough times. Australia has a rich history of fighting and eating wild rabbits. Rabbits were introduced in the state of Victoria in 1859 for hunting purposes. The unassuming Hudsons Hotel. I saw this place in the main street. I wonder if they'll stock wild rabbit? Links to this post. Labels: age of warlords. Conspiracywatch.ne...

The Age of Warlords Cookbook: July 2011
http://theageofwarlordscookbook.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 8, 2011. Malalai Joya says it best. Malalai Joya is a former Afghan parliamentarian, activist, advocate, and author. Joyas words are desperate and articulate. Below is a video of the speech that brought her to prominence. In it she calls out the warlords among the elite. Joya's finger is on the pulse because she speaks for those on the ground who know very well that their leaders have an interest in continued conflict rather than supporting and protecting ordinary people.

The Age of Warlords Cookbook: Day of Honey: A memoir of Food, Love, and War
http://theageofwarlordscookbook.blogspot.com/2011/03/day-of-honey-memoir-of-food-love-and.html
Saturday, March 19, 2011. Day of Honey: A memoir of Food, Love, and War. I've never wanted to read a book more than this one! Day of Honey: A memoir of Food, Love, and War explores the idea that the pursuit of food and culture help maintain our humanity in times of war and violence. My heart is warmed whenever I hear it said that the preparing and sharing of food in war time brings comfort and some joy to a difficult life. Labels: age of warlords.

The Age of Warlords Cookbook: December 2010
http://theageofwarlordscookbook.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 23, 2010. Is it 'end game' time yet? It seems pretty clear that ConspiracyWatch.net with their investigator Tom Retterbush seem to think the apparent rise in gun purchases in the USA is cause for concern. If they didn't, why would they title their story thusly. Record Gun Sales as Americans Prepare for Financial Collapse". They even mentioned people stockpiling non-perishables, petrol, and water. Seems pretty end-gamey to me. Links to this post. Labels: age of warlords. The fog of poli...

The Age of Warlords Cookbook: May 2013
http://theageofwarlordscookbook.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 2, 2013. My bleak future scenario starts in Lagos, Nigeria. Normally treatments for film ideas are dry and functional. I didn't like that idea so I decided to novelise my opening scene. Lagos, Nigeria. Click on the photo for a great travelogue about Nigeria and the Ghanaian dish Fufu. A big thanks to Greg, Jules, and Dave for their ideas and support. Novelisation: The Age of Warlords Cookbook. Characters: Frances Onibino and Albert Onibino. With fish stocks so low? The limousine arrived at ...
