22/2/2013

 
Picture
Allow me please to introduce my friend, fellow cook and food blogger, Jane Smith a.k.a. The Shady Baker. Jane lives with her husband, Terry, and their young family on a sheep property in Western New South Wales.  Jane and Terry are both fourth generation sheep farmers and their main family business is in wool, beef and lamb production. On the property, sheep are slaughtered and prepared by Terry for the family's own consumption, while Jane has a keen interest in baking bread and growing fruit and vegetables.  

I'm delighted that Jane has agreed share her method for roast lamb served with summer vegetables, hummus and sourdough rolls with us, just in time for the weekend. So, let's take a drive out into the country with Jane and Terry, and enjoy a baked dinner with them. Read more about Jane and her love of food at her lovely blog.

Limes & Lycopene Guest Post

Guest Post on Limes and Lycopene

Picture
I'm delighted to have been invited by Kathryn Elliott, nutritionist and freelance food and cookery writer, to contribute a guest post to her occasional series around the theme of what makes it easier to eat well? 

I 'met' Kathryn on Twitter and am inspired by her love of vegetables and the wonderful recipes she shares on her blog. Kathryn says that while she might occasionally write about a nutrition concept or current health topic, she mostly concentrates on actual food – how to buy it, cook it and eat it. 

Kathryn has a particular focus on vegetables, because she feels that most people don’t eat anywhere near enough. Pop in to Limes and Lycopene, say hello to Kathryn and read my frank and fearless account, and perhaps humorous, account of 'a hippopotamus on the roof eating chocolate'.

For those (few) of you who don't already know him, I would like to introduce Pierre Issa, a.k.a. Pepe Saya. Pierre is the 36 year old father of two, married to his teenage sweetheart Mrs. Pepe; and, of course, maker of the amazing Pepe Saya cultured butter and lover of all things made from butter. 

Pepe hates the use of preservatives in food and says he does not appreciate technology when it comes to food, but understands we need to feed millions. If only we could do it some other way, he says. Pepe's love for food stems from his parents, who both love food! He says he is surrounded by loving people at work and home, and believes that life is a journey that should be enjoyed and shared with others. In this delicious Good Things guest post, Pepe shares a sublime recipe created from an idea born on Twitter. 'It's a recipe with awesome provenance involving three producers, Lizzy', Pepe wrote me, excitedly. Pepe's recipe combines award winning butter rolled into balls, dipped in award winning vanilla, then preserved in award winning honey. Awesome! Over to you, Pepe...

Allow me please to introduce the lovely Carmen Brown, a.k.a Honey Delight. Carmen and I first met at the Capital Region Farmer's Market in August last year; and Peter and I have been enjoying her honey ever since.

Carmen is a third generation beekeeper, with an extensive farming heritage. Originally from north west NSW, Carmen's family were among the first farming settlers in the area. Carmen’s grandfather diversified into beekeeping in the 1920’s and the family continue the beekeeping tradition he started all those years ago. The family has over 3000 hives throughout NSW and southern QLD. Carmen’s interest in beekeeping has been lifelong and she and her husband, Todd, have hives in the Canberra area. You will find them and their honey at the Honey Delight stall at Canberra's Capital Region Farmer's Markets at EPIC every Saturday morning.
