At this time of year as we are winding up the preserving of summer and autumn fruits, it is time to think about using our preserves to enhance other dishes. Sometimes they can be a feature, such as bottled fruit in a pie, and other times they can be a subtle yet dynamic addition to … Continue reading Venison Pie and more

Herbed Turkey Rolls
This recipe makes a good, tasty meal. Although the turkey breast fillet cost about $15.00 per kilo, a little goes a long way - there is no wastage as the meat is very lean. Robert and I had a meal out of it, plus had leftover turkey rolls to use as a sandwich filling the next day. Herbed … Continue reading Herbed Turkey Rolls

Crispy Skin Chicken Breast with Sage and Ginger Stuffing
These days, now that the last of our 6 children have moved out and there is just Robert and I left at home, it is a struggle to remember to cook for only two. This recipe is one I put together a few night ago. Mind you, there was still too much for two people for one … Continue reading Crispy Skin Chicken Breast with Sage and Ginger Stuffing
Blackberries
It’s that time of year again. As the weather closes in an autumn is upon us, the country laneways here in Tasmania are dotted with people young and old picking blackberries from the hedgerows. Despite the inconvenience of thorns and prickles, the berries are well worth the picking as they make delightful jam and jelly. … Continue reading Blackberries

Basil Pesto
I think I can smell autumn in the air. I know it’s still summer and we’ll get some scorching hot days, but the evenings are drawing in just a little, and there’s a refreshing nip in the air in the morning. In my opinion, this is the best time of year. Today is typically clear … Continue reading Basil Pesto
Silverbeet or spinach parcels
At the moment our silverbeet is growing with wild abandon. I have become a little tired of serving it steamed, in cheese sauce, sauteed with bacon, so decided to invent other ways of cooking it. For this recipe it doesn't matter if the leaves are less than perfect - when they are organically home grown they often aren't, … Continue reading Silverbeet or spinach parcels
Chicken and Chorizo Ragout
My goodness, what a week it’s been. We’ve picked mulberries and made syrup and a variety of cakes, the same with rhubarb (this syrup is delcious over ice cream or panna cotta) and collected and preserved 3 more boxes of apricots. By the way, if you have bottled apricot halves and they rise in the jars, … Continue reading Chicken and Chorizo Ragout
