Sweet Potato, Feta and Onion Quiche

August 22, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

This is a tasty and simple quiche.

The recipe is from Delicious magazine and is here.

I made Maggie Beer’s Sour Cream Pastry instead (with added thyme leaves).

We had been given the eggs from a friend so they were local and fresh.

It’s great so try it.

[Shortly after taking the photo, the quiche slid off the wooden tray onto the floor! Thankfully it was  still on the metal pie base and landed face up! The pastry was a bit of a mess, but otherwise fine.]

 

Chinese Braised Duck

July 8, 2021 By admin Leave a Comment

Last night I made a slight variation on this recipe from Taste. The sauce was good, and more importantly the duck cooking method worked really well. The duck marylands were cooked in a pan, skin side down, on low heat for 15 mins, then skin side up for 5 mins. Then they were covered in…

Pork with Apple Parsnip Puree

June 19, 2021 By admin Leave a Comment

We made panko-crumbed pork loin with crispy parsnip skins. baked fennel, an apple-parsnip puree and poached leek with a mustard vinagrette. It was pretty good and I’m posting a couple of elements here so as not to lose them. The puree recipe came from  F00d52 with slight amendment. It’s a great site, so please go…

Lemon Verbena Ice Cream

June 13, 2021 By admin Leave a Comment

After they mentioned lemon verbena on Masterchef a hundred times, I finally decided to buy a plant when we moved to Melbourne two years ago. We made ice cream and tea. Over the first winter i thought the plant had died. It can back and flourished! Lemon verbena smells and tastes amazing. Dried leaves in…

THE COOK

I now cook on Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia, having moved recently from the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. The region is similar to the Mediterranean, with temperate climate, fertile hills, nearby ocean, wonderful local vegetables, fruit, wine and meat produced locally. Meanwhile our Adelaide Hills garden has cherry, peach, almond, citrus, olive, pomegranate and fig trees which are suffering neglect! Cooking has been a growing passion for me, about connecting culture, creativity, community and spirit.
