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…

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…

The Easiest Coriander And Garlic Sauce
Coriander based sauces provide a real flavour boost to your dishes. I love drizzling them in everthing from salads to steaks and potato side dishes, If you give the ingredients below a whizz in a blender (rather than a fine chopping) you will get an amazing dipping sauce for spring rolls and the like. I…

Ben’s Beef Jerky
Beef jerky is a great snack. Its healthy, flavoursome, and gives you a little burst of energy. I never follow a recipe, so everything is quantity based and taste based. I use a dehydrator to dry the beef, however a light box will be just as good (if not better), it just takes longer. If…

Rice Wine Vinegar
Rice wine vinegar has the lovely sour and tangy taste you expect vinegar to have but with a distinct but subtle finish of Saki rice wine. I use this particular vinegar in my Asian pastes, sauces and dressings. Vinegar is a very mild acid and has been used for thousands of years as a preservative…

I got a great deal on 24 eggs at the FarmersMarket: Manning – Perth the other day and have been putting them to good use. I wanted to preserve the last dozen or so and turned to a childhood favourite, the humble pickled egg. 🙂 Note: these will last for ages in the fridge unless I am…

Balsamic Vinegar
Balsamic vinegar has the lovely sour and tangy taste you expect vinegar to have but with a sweetness. The sweetness is either produced naturally in traditional methods or from added sweeteners in the mass produced versions. I use this particular vinegar in salad dressings, on cheese and marinades. It is lovely when dripped into olive…

PK’S Bruschetta With Tomato And Cheese Antipasto
In Australia we tend to think of Bruschetta (an Italian antipasto) as being bread covered with tomatoes. Whilst tomatoes are often involved, Bruschetta is the garlic and olive oil rubbed grilled bread itself. You can then top it with a wide range of meats and vegetables. This is my NoRecipe lazy way of making Bruschetta…

White Wine Vinegar
White wine vinegar has very pronounced aromas and multi-layered flavours, it is more than simply sour. It is great in salad dressings, mayonnaises, marinades and dips. You can swap it in and out with apple cider vinegar and like other clear vinegars it won’t change the colour of the dish. The flavours can range and…
