Ben’s Windfall Lime Pickle
This windfall lime pickle is a prime example of preserving your harvests. I encourage you to eat fresh produce during their particular growing season and then their (hopefully made by you) preserved cousins off season. The mass produced commercial versions just don’t compare. It’s important to use very ripe limes. I use the ones that…

PK Makes Sausages The Italian Way
Today I was invited to join an Italian family’s yearly sausage making day. Making sausages the old fashion way means lots of hard work, lots of family banter and lots of laughter. I felt like part of the family and I promised to come back next year, if only for the great lunch they fed…

The Easiest Guacamole
I like anything with avocado in it so it is no surprise that I love my home made ‘guac’. If only because I use as much stuff from my kitchen garden as possible. I love anything that works well with ‘make your own combination’ meals like taco or nacho night. Every avocado lover probably has…

PK’s Coriander And Garlic Sauce
I first had this sauce (store bought) when I was in Darwin 2016. It is simple to make but it packs a real astringent wallop. I used this recipe originally from http://www.tarladalal.com/ (this site is amazing FYI) and I am going to experiment a bit with the amount of garlic and sugar . I also blended it…

The Easiest Coriander And Garlic Sauce
Coriander based sauces provide a real flavour boost to your dishes.
