Welcome

Welcome

Locally grown produce, regional culinary heritage and honest, flavoursome dishes. These are at the heart of my approach to food. I think of the food we prepare as one of the most important cultural things that connect people to a place.

A few pics from the final year of a decade that wa A few pics from the final year of a decade that was saturated with life in full contrast and unquantifiable measure. And now with hopefully the really big stuff now passed perhaps what remains will become the base on which new beginnings happen. As the extraordinary baird and poet Paul Kelly sings ‘from little things big things grow’. May 2020 be the start of a new time when returning to the wisdom of the old and the clarity of the new are again closer in balance with each other for us all and and beautiful Mother Earth. ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ #Xanthorrhoea #balga #agritourism #genuinelysouthernforests #foodandfarmtour #daughterandpuppy #crimsonpearlpotato #karricountrygourmetpotatoes #slipperyjackmushroom #foraging #southernforests #colinthecat #sonandhisgirlfriend #foragersnowsold #foragersfinaldinner #adventuremotorcycletravel #endofanera #2020 #beginningofanewone #thecallofthewild
This incredibly simple and quick to prepare cold s This incredibly simple and quick to prepare cold summer dessert is a kind of cross between a trifle and tiramisu. A recipe I recently developed for @genuinelysouthernforests to showcase the naturally lolly-sweet strawberries and blueberries grown in the Southern Forests region of Western Australia. A perfect advance-prepared option for afters on a hot Christmas Eve or Day. Strawberries are lightly stewed before more are folded through with the blueberries and spooned over sponge biscuits, drizzled with Campari and then covered with light, tangy, billow-soft spoonfuls of a honey and vanilla-sweetened yoghurt mascarpone mixture. Listen in to @abcperth tomorrow morning at around 8:45am with @hilarysmale when I’ll be chatting Christmas food and keeping things a little cooler in the kitchen.

Plants no matter where I am have a way of speaking Plants no matter where I am have a way of speaking comforting grounding messages. Even weeds with their reminding bolishiness that nature really has the upper hand. Moving back to Fremantle, albeit temporarily has brought me back to the glorious presence of frangipane’s. Being 15 years in the Southern Forests I’d forgotten. I remember now. ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ #frangipane #fremantle #nature #plants #plantsmatter #thecityisnotmynaturalhabitat
The @manjimupcherryfestival was on again this past The @manjimupcherryfestival was on again this past weekend and despite damaging hail in early November, the cherry orchards delivered spectacular @genuinelysouthernforests fruit. Cherry Clafoutis is a classic French pudding of sorts that is incredibly easy to make. A simple pancake-like batter that includes almond meal is poured over fruit and baked in the oven to be served with pouring cream. This recipe was included in my book Food of the Southern Forests that can now again be purchased from the Southern Forests Food Council or click the link in my bio. 📸@craigkindfoodphotography ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙#cherry #cherryclafoutis #manjimupcherryfestival #foodofthesouthernforests #genuinelysouthernforests #recipebook #christmaspresent #food #localfood #craigkinderfoodphotography #localproducers #localfarmers #buywesteatbest #bweb #supportlocal #instagood #chef #cooking #festiveseason

Caponata is a Sicilian eggplant dish that is an in Caponata is a Sicilian eggplant dish that is an incredibly delicious and versatile summer vegetable stew. Generally the eggplant is fried, but I find grilling limits the amount of oil in the finished dish. The addition of vinegar and capers contrasts with the sweetness of the vegetables and provides that magical Sicilian ‘agrodolce' sweet and sour taste.
