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

Yoghurt Cake with Oranges and Lemons
For a few days now I've been acutely aware of a 2kg tub of Greek yoghurt lurking in the back of the fridge. I'd bought it at bargain price, with great plans for making all sorts of delicious things, sweet and savoury. However, with one thing and another, including moving house, it had slipped from … Continue reading Yoghurt Cake with Oranges and Lemons
Sausages – a new twist on piggies in blankets
Last weekend when the grandchildren came to visit, I decided to make them a version of the classic sausage in a piece of bread. Four year old Charlotte particularly loves to help me in the kitchen, so this recipe is ideal - she loved rolling each piece of dough and wrapping it around the sausages. … Continue reading Sausages – a new twist on piggies in blankets
Chinese Plum Sauce
Although plums are not is season at present, keep this recipe for when plums are readily available. On the other hand, you may well have some frozen, even bottled. Probably you could even use tinned plums, though I'd steer way from those that have been canned in syrup. I was fortunate in that my daughter … Continue reading Chinese Plum Sauce
Elephant’s Foot Buns and Alpacas
This last weekend saw the arrival here of two very special guests – Clarence and Charlotte, two adorable alpacas. As much as I’d like it to be so, we don’t own them, just agisting them on a couple of our paddocks. They are such peaceful creatures and love human company, unlike other alpacas I’ve come … Continue reading Elephant’s Foot Buns and Alpacas
Quinces and apples – jellies and tarts
During the past couple of weeks we have moved house from picturesque Eaglehawk Neck to a small 5 acre property at the head of a delightful small valley in Molesworth. (This is why I haven't been putting up posts very often of late - I had forgotten how labour intensive and time consuming moving can … Continue reading Quinces and apples – jellies and tarts
Hot Potato – and Curried Fish and Potato Bake
Potatoes - so many varieties, so much to choose from. At times I’ve been sadly disappointed in the potatoes I’ve bought in good faith , especially when buying them by the 10kg bagful. Often they have been less than satisfactory – bruised or with a great hole in the middle, sprouting shoots and/or unpleasant to … Continue reading Hot Potato – and Curried Fish and Potato Bake
Spelt Bread
At the Tasmanian Women In Agriculture Conference last weekend at Deloraine I delivered two workshops. As a gift afterwards they gave me one of the best gifts ever a 5kg bag of stone ground organic spelt flour from the Callington Mill in Oatlands, Tasmania. Yesterday I put the flour through its paces, even if only to to make a loaf of … Continue reading Spelt Bread
Seasoned Pot Roast of Beef
Today the temperature outside is dropping significantly. Didn’t notice for a while but a friend who came to visit had to rush off to chop firewood. Now I know what he meant – it has turned from cool to positively freezing. So what to cook for dinner I thought? Now there are only two of … Continue reading Seasoned Pot Roast of Beef
