Bizzy Lizzy's Good Things turned three in August and to mark the occasion I ate cake for breakfast this morning, and I think I might just eat some more for lunch and dinner. My friend, Pierre Issa, a.k.a. Pepe Saya, has partnered with me in the celebration and, thanks to his generosity, I have a delicious competition and prize giveaway for my readers.

One of the best things about food, I think, is that it brings like minded people together. I really enjoy spending time in the company of chefs, fellow cooks, farmers and food producers who are clearly passionate about their craft. My friend and colleague, Pepe Saya (the alter ego of Mr Pierre Issa), is one such person.

Making ghee with Pepe Saya
On our way home from Sydney, Peter and I stopped in at the Tempe factory where we watched Pepe and his team making butter and also ghee or clarified butter. Not just any ghee, mind you... this was made by the butter master himself, Pepe Saya, from his award winning, handcrafted cultured Australian butter.

Pepe Saya's Butter Balls 
with Whispers of Vanilla in Honey

Picture
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...
