Black Market is a new monthly event at the Black Box, with stalls manned by some of the finest local independent artists, designers, crafters, jewellers and record labels, alongside bountiful stalls from collectors of records, books and vintage clothing.

every doggy needs a stripy jumper for xmas!

Lots of doggy owners keep asking when will teeandtoast do doggy t-shirts and hoodies. We'll we are still researching into suppliers and trying to find the perfect tee or hoodie for our doggy fans out there, but during our search we came across these wonderful stripy jumpers - sooooooo teeandtoasty, we couldn't resist. Make sure you get your pup one while you still can - as stock is limited. WOOF!

Stay warm this winter, wear hoodies and eat soup!

Brrrrr.... is it just me or is it beary cold these days?
Well at least it's a good time to make a big pot of soup. I thought i'd share my simple but special recipe for A Winter Bear's Soup to warm you up and keep you cosy! First things first, you need to go shopping - so grab your funky organic string bag and head to the shop or market to get all these yummy ingredients:

(serves 6 hungry bears)

2 large onions
2 garlic cloves
6 parsnips
2 sweet potatoes
1 big pinch of ground nutmeg
1 veggie stockcube
Salt and pepper, to taste
Olive oil

Are you ready - well put a lovely apron on incase it gets messy and lets get cooking... Chop onions and garlic cloves. Peel & chop sweet potatoes. Scrub & slice parsnips. Sauté onions and garlic in olive oil, then add the vegetables, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Cook for a 5 minutes. Mix the veggie stockcube with about 1L of water and add to the pan. Cover & simmer for about 20 minutes. Once the veggies are tender, then blend the soup or mash till smooth. Remember to check the seasoning!

Our big Mr T pint mugs are great for soup!
So best served the teeandtoasty way in a pint mug with home-made wheaten bread, (well it's mum-made really!) ENJOY :)
