Last week was another fabulous @aussieonions event (yes, I really do love onions!!) co-presenting with @tawnyabahr and @mitolofamilyfarms at the @finefoodexpo . The audience were treated to some incredible onion-inspired dishes by @telina_menzies and her team. Thanks to @bitecommunications and @straight_to_the_source for hosting this event helping to educate chefs and get them to elevate the onion from humble to hero.
Last week I trialed a new meal kit and recipe box - @quitelike.au . I was really impressed with the quality of ingredients and most of the meals passed the ‘kid taste test’, which we all know is the highest standard when it comes to being a food critic! Loads of veges in Every meal and pretty easy and quick to prepare. This is not a sponsored post (I purchased the box if 4 meals) but wanted to share as it’s a great way to trial new foods and step out of your cooking comfort zone, especially when you can get an introductory price on the box.
My great granny was gifted this gold-rimmed bone china tea set for her wedding, back in the early 1900s when she married at the ripe age of 17 😱. I drink a daily cup of tea from her tea set, which tastes like all my favourite memories of my granny Betsy….her purple immaculate hair, her incredible cooking (chicken soup and Jewish kichel biscuits where my favourite ), her colourful crocheted blankets and her shot of daily whisky, which I believe was the secret to her living a healthy life well into her 90s. Today my tea and memories were accompanied by a light and flaky rugelach pastry from @littlesisterbakery_melbourne
I made the @helen_goh_bakes pear and cinnamon tea cake from last week’s @goodweekendmag . It’s the perfect afternoon pick-me-up in between all the weekend juggle of kids sports and lifts. And how gorgeous is this gold-tinged cake plate that was part of a tea set my great granny received as a wedding gift way back in the early 1900s.
Mr. 12 came home from umpiring his footy game and straight into the kitchen to help me make spinach and feta gozleme for an easy Sunday night dinner. Nowadays my teenage kiddos are not usually that willing to help in the kitchen so when he asked to make dinner, I gave him full reign of the kitchen bench top and rolling pin. I know that time is going to go on speed dial in the next few years and before I know it he will be moving out of home, hopefully with some essential cooking skills in his tool kit of life. One thing I know for sure, he makes a bloody good gozleme! 👊
Today was spent in the beautiful Autumn sunshine in Launceston visiting the farm lands of Premium Fresh Tasmania and learning how @aussieonions are grown in this unique climate next to the Bass Strait. It was a spectacular day spent with like minded dietitians and chefs showcasing this humble hero of a fabulous vegetable that is packed full of nutrition (mood boosting vitamins, anti-ageing antioxidants, prebiotic fibre just to name a few). After our farm tour we were treated to a scrumptious onion feast at @stillwatertasmania restaurant and a live demo on how to make pickled onions with bonito flakes. Well done to the team from @bitecommunications and @straight_to_the_source for another fabulous Aussie Onion farm tour.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil Health and Nutrition Report
FoodBytes initially undertook a scoping review of the available literature to discern the types and categories of research to include in the report. This was an important part of the project given the vast amount of research relating to EVOO. A suggestion of key [...]
