Image credit: Wikipedia This proposed commercial genetic trick – inserting the genes of a “pout fish” (as pictured) into Atlantic Salmon genes – has nothing to do with improved taste or texture or color or nutrition we’d appreciate as salmon-eating consumers

And while I love the idea of farm to fork eating, I want it to become more than just a passing trend, but rather, an ongoing way of life. And it appears Chef Anthony feels the same way

He’s made a strangely beautiful candle holder out of an old motorbike exhaust , an edgy planter out of a deliberately mangled paint can , a Heath Robinson-esque candle holder/timer out of wire and old bricks and a wine rack from an old wooden veg box (pictured). Wonderfully inventive stuff, very different from a lot of the stuff we usually see – and all reusing & recycling old stuff, hurrah!

There’s a wide variety of uses for tuna cans: I know some people use them to make “ buddy burner ” candles and you can use them as candle holders too – but make sure you put a bit of sand in the bottom first to absorb the heat from the candle rather than it heating the metal
