Pickled Cherries

These are fabulous with meats such as pork, duck and venison. I like to reduce the brine a little and pour over crispy roast pork. They’re also delicious over vanilla ice cream and make a fantastic gift!

Corned Beef

Corned Beef (as part of a Ploughman’s Grazing Table)

Corned Beef is a classic favourite for a reason. It’s delicious, easy to prepare and makes your house smell great! I love to offer it as part of a ploughman’s platter to let my guests choose their own adventure with what they like to add to their plate.

Campsite Ocean Trout & Rice Pilaf Loaded with Lemon & Fresh Herbs

Campsite Ocean Trout & Rice Pilaf Loaded with Lemon & Fresh Herbs

This is a bit of a free-for-all. This combination of ingredients is pretty fail-safe and all together tastes amazing. Tilda Fragrant Jasmine Rice is an easy addition to any camping pack. This is also great in a fry pan on a regular stove — maybe just halve the ingredients if you are not cooking up for a crowd.

You’ll love this take on a classic Aussie favourite — but now let’s make it truly kinder for our festive season. Oh, did I also mention that it’s vegan, gluten-free and delish? Winning!

Christmas Badrijani: Walnut Eggplant Rolls

When I’m asked to sum up Georgian food, I always fire back “walnuts, garlic, coriander” — it may as well be our holy trinity. It’s this dish that is always aligned with big celebrations.

Brown Butter Prawns

Once you learn how easy and delicious it can be to brown butter, I promise you’ll be browning butter in every recipe you can.

Homemade Celery Lemonade

Some of the celery haters in the world might question, why on earth would you put celery in lemonade?! This is actually the perfect savoury twist to a sweet drink creating a more satisfying flavour profile. This drink will leave you feeling more hydrated and provide you with all the antioxidants that celery has to offer! This is one of Clinton from Pineapple Jam’s top three drinks and perfectly pairs with our Orphan’s Christmas Menu.
