Coming home from the farm Autumn 2013

Jugiong

Along the way home from the farm we stopped at Jugiong and bought some treats from The Long Track Pantry and Gino's Fruit and Veg Shop. 



Autumn 2013 at the farm

Pig on the spit with quince salsa, slow roasted teardrop tomatoes, rosemary potatoes green salad. Apple and berry crumble with ice cream. 












Notice the big dent in the spit, on the front of the drum. This happened when a huge tree fell on the woodshed where the spit and drum were stored. Here is one of the kid's charcoal sketch of the woodshed before the fall.

Pork meatballs with preserved lemon and parmesan, garlic bread and salad. 

We used this recipe from Cuisine using minced leftover roast pork and adding egg to the mix plus grated lemon rind to make up for not quite enough preserved lemon. Served in some sauce of leftover pork juices and roasted tomatoes. Yum.

Summer 2013 at the beach

Jantie's Fish Tacos

In summer 2012/13 at the beach serving up Jantie's amazing fish tacos to our family we thought we should capture these great family food experiences. Took us a while, wish we had started earlier and in fact we only really got going a few months later in Autumn 2013. Here's where it all started.
