individual needs. When they are ready, Garvald finds them employment, usually in supermarkets and catering firms.
In keeping with the holistic philosophy that underpins the Garvald initiative. best quality organic ingredients are used wherever possible in each of the food processing workshops. and no corners are cut in production. With regard to the trainees. the idea is that selfesteem comes from a job well done and making a valuable contribution to one‘s community. As a result. the products are excellent. and in great demand. In fact. the sesame seed and the whole wheat and rye loaves which the Engine Shed sells to many Edinburgh wholefood stores and delicatessens are, in my opinion. the best brown bread available in the city. and the
FOOD
tofu products seen in many of the same outlets are good enough for Yumi. Scotland‘s only Japanese restaurant. to order on a regular
basis.
The Engine Shed does not envisage
i ever being financially self-sufficient
l
— it is subsidised by the European Social Fund and Lothian Regional
Council. But at a time when
fundamental questions are being asked about market principles. it is surely worth considering the fact that some of the best quality food we can buy is only there by virtue of the needs of the producers.
The Engine Shed. 19 St Leonard '5
Lane, Edinburgh, 03] 662 0040.
Mon-Fri 10.30am—3pm. Lunch noon-2.30pm. Bread and tofu from the workshops can also be bought during cafe opening hours.
