Don't often come across pineapples being a seasonal fruit in Tasmania though I know one or two brave people trying to grow them. However, they are readily available in the fruit markets at present so have taken the time and expense to make some pineapple relish, which is delicious with ham or pork. It's also … Continue reading Pineapple Relish

Lemon Curd – with sugar I don’t always ad the lemon rind to the lemon curd as I think it gives a slightly gritty texture. On the other … Continue reading Lemon Curd
Spring Chicken Wraps
As spring is now here the warming soups of winter might need to be replaced at least in part with a lighter option. Personally, I have found that these home-made wraps with spiced paprika or tandoori chicken fill the bill quite nicely. The purchased commercial wraps are quite expensive, especially when feeding a hungry family … Continue reading Spring Chicken Wraps
