Sold Out!

It is Autumn again in beautiful Berry and almost two years since we first hatched the idea of Locavore on my back deck. It has been a huge journey and our heads are still abuzz with the great people we have met and feedback we have had along the way.

Our latest news is that we have already sold out of books! It happened much faster than we imagined and has left us wondering what next? There are an ever increasing number of potential subjects for another book in the Shoalhaven and we are keeping our eyes peeled.

But meanwhile we are catching our breath and catching up with the life we have neglected over the last two years. We will keep you all posted as things develop and thank everyone for taking the journey with us.

So I lost a bet.

The pay-off was a home-cooked meal, with an extra helping of humble pie. In the locavore spirit, I wanted to make the menu as homegrown and local as possible. So, with a beast in the freezer and the last of the winter vegies in the garden, here is what we ate. Feast your eyes on the menu and Katie's delicious photos.

 Beef liver pate and pickled homegrown beetroot, served with local sourdough bread.


 

Homegrown lemon cordial with mint leaves and vodka over ice.

 

Recipe for lemon cordial~

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine equal volumes of lemon juice and sugar, stirring until completely dissolved. Allow to cool, and bottle into sterilised jars. These will keep for a couple of weeks in the fridge. Mix with water, sparkling or still, and garnish with mint. 

Standing rib roast of beef, served with roasted homegrown pumpkin, braised cabbage and a garden fresh salad.

 

First vintage rhubarb champagne and rhubarb compote served with local South Coast Dairy yoghurt.
