Time for a retro flash-back! I went for years not evening remembering this existed til I saw an organic corned beef in the supermarket and gave it a go. It may be a throw back to the 70's and 80's but it's still GOOD! Since then we've been ordering our beef from a farm in the Hunter Valley that pasture-raises all their cows, pork and lamb, and occasionally we'll get a piece of Corned Beef from them. It's really easy to make- you just have to be home for a few hours- you just throw a few ingredients in a pot, cover it with water and boil for 4 hours (although my mum tells me she makes this in the electric slow cooker, and leaves it on all day, which means you don't have to be home at all)! The sauce is easy too. The reason I refer to it as 'White' Sauce is because it's a white sauce base, but I add to it some of the flavour-filled liquid that the meat has cooked in...which makes it a little more brown than white! Super yummy though! It also makes great lunch/ sandwich meat for the next day. Ingredients Beef :

In 2011 we planted our first fig tree. In 2013 we had a bumper crop and didn't quite know what to do with them all. We ate them plain, on rice crackers with Manchego (spanish sheet cheese) or sheep fetta or soft goat cheese, on cereal and porridge, stewed or caramelised, and as a wonderful 'hero' element in this fresh summer salad. We've never had such a great crop since! There are no quantities for this - just add everything to your own liking. Ingredients and Method: In a bowl, or on a plate place:
Add freshly cracked pepper to taste. Gluten free- dairy free- low sugar- egg free- nut free- vegetarian option
I love a meal that's super easy and that everyone in the family loves. Home made Sushi Rolls are one of those in our house. We fill ours full of vegetables, maybe a little omelette or tuna...or if I want to go to more effort I'll cook up some Teriyaki Chicken. Other than cooking some rice, all it takes is a bit of chopping. We put everything in the centre of the table and make them ourselves. The kids love a meal that they get to choose what to put in it, and I don't mind, because it's all vegetables, so it's all good! I used to be a bit scared of Sushi because it seemed so hard to get it to roll properly and stay tight and look good. But when you're making your own for dinner, none of that matters! We cut the nori sheets (seaweed paper) in half and make a nice long roll- no need for cutting once they're rolled. There's no set ingredients list for this - it's a matter of personal preference for what to put in them, and the quantity is according to how many people you want to serve. For our family of four, I usually cook 4 cups of rice. This makes 3 or 4 rolls each (a total of 2 nori sheets per person) and also gives us enough left-over rice to make some rolls for school lunches the next day. Winner! Here's what we use: Ingredients
