Banana Bread
According to estimates, 1.4 million bananas are thrown in the garbage bin each year, because the banana had minor bruising or a black mark. If the banana is green anywhere on the skin, 13 per cent of people will throw the whole fruit away.
Cured and Slow Cooked Beef
A perfectly cooked beef joint makes a wonderful centrepiece for a Sunday roast or any dinner. To cook it until it’s so tender it falls apart, you’ll need to choose a joint like chuck and blade or beef brisket and either braise, slow roast or slow cook it for many hours.
Basque Cheesecake
Basque Cheesecake is a crustless cheesecake that is cooked at very high heat. This results in its rustic appearance with cracked edges and an almost burnt surface.
Pizza, Parmigiano & Pavarotti!
Set in an Italian Villa in the hills looking over Chanti (Sydney suburbs) we recreated the vibe of making Homemade Wood Fire Pizza (without the wood fire oven) and enjoyed the sweet sounds of opera and melodies from the little Italian village of Castelina Marrone.
Vietnamese Daikon and Carrot Pickles - Do Chua
Dồ Chua (Vietnamese Pickled Daikon and Carrot) – Strips of Asian white radish and carrot are pickled in sweet and sour brine. Do Chua is a staple condiment in Vietnamese cuisine.
