Zucchini Tots

The summer harvest has started, and I’m once again the proud owner of oversized zucchinis. Seriously, you only have to miss them in the garden for a day and suddenly you have more than you can possibly need. Zucchinis are a vegetable I can take or leave. They are great for bulking out mince, but […]

Roasted Pear and Halloumi Salad

The other day, discussions started about what we should have for Christmas dinner. Obviously, my kids have the big issues to deal with! There was much dissent around the main course, though there was unanimous approval of our traditional triple chocolate and raspberry pavlova for dessert. After moving to the farm, our Chrismas lunch usually consists of cold meats […]

Spring Vegetable And Ricotta Tart

We have been super excited to watch our asparagus patch finally yield us some delicious morsels. Asparagus takes several years before you can eat the stems, so when they started poking their heads out we were ready. Unfortunately, if you forget to pick them, the aspargus shoots grow very quickly and become woody. We’ve been […]

Roasted Cauliflower and Potato Salad

And just like that, it is Spring again. My goodness I’m ready for some sunshine, and a little bit of warmth in the air. And no rain. Please no more rain (for a few weeks anyway)! It seems strange that to be saying that after such a dry Summer and Autumn. There was even talk of the […]

Curried Chicken And Vegetable Pilaf

We are now well and truly inundated with fruit and vegetables from the garden. Each day sees more trays of tomatoes, bags of beans, and tubs of zucchinis being picked. We do sell some to locals, but we are always on the look out for ways to use up the vegetables in tasty ways, so […]

Zucchini, Feta And Mint Fritters

It’s zucchini season here. Zucchinis are one of those vegetables I can take or leave. They taste rather bland and (to my mind) need something added to them to make them tasty. Despite my ambivalence about eating zucchinis, Country Boy is enthusiastic about growing them. Probably because they just grow so darn well. It’s not […]

Roasted Tomato And Mozzarella Tart

I’m back at the farm after a week in the mountains with my family while the kids did some swimming lessons, and I enjoyed the convenience of living in town. Country Boy stayed to keep the farm turning over while we were gone. When we arrived home on Saturday, there was a bowl of tomatoes […]
