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.

When I think back to the beginning of this sabbati When I think back to the beginning of this sabbatical year, to the morning 📸@craigkinderfood and I dodged the morning beach dog walkers to photo document the energy and anticipation I felt for the road ahead on my bike, never in my imaginings did I consider I’d be uploading my 5th monthly Motorcycle Diaries blog post in the middle of a pandemic from a cottage back in the Barossa Valley. Well here I’m to be for a while and here it is via the link in my bio. From a fresh and dried fruit grower in Angaston, hitting the local Barossa history and recipe books, foraging for mushrooms in the Mount Crawford Forest Reserve, a walk trail with rogue edible plants, places of historical significance revisited, an incredible veggie garden that's part of a beloved Barossa wine institution, the Seppelts family mausoleum, a visit with my cousin who's a baker @clarerisebakery1895 in the Clare Valley, the beautiful Mount Lofty Botanic Garden and a visit to a Turkish family who are @krproduce veggie growers in Murray Bridge that supply local restaurants and have a stall at the Barossa Farmers Market; these are some of the stories and food that May served up here in the Barossa Valley, South Australia and a little further afield. ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ #barossavalley #barossafood #clarerisebakery #travelpost #gullygardens #driedfruit #winter #solowomantraveller #carrots #pudding #rockfordwines #moto #bmwmoto #bmwmotorrad #bmwgs #bmwgs1200 #r1200gs #1200gs #bmwgsfans #bmwadventure #adventuremotorcycle #motorbike #motolife #bmw #mototravel #makelifearide #advriders #bmwmotorcycle #adventurebike #MakeLifeARide
Since leaving some 25 plus years ago and now retur Since leaving some 25 plus years ago and now returning for a time it’s clear that vineyards rule the Valley and it seems there are many new players in the mix. There’s a modern fresh vibe but thankfully with equal strength and vigour in driving the Barossa forward, the stewards remain. A place where my GS parks easily. ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ #rockfordwines #barossavalley #moto #bmwmoto #bmwmotorrad #bmwgs #bmwgs1200 #r1200gs #1200gs #bmwgsfans #bmwadventure #adventuremotorcycle #motorbike #motolife #bmw #mototravel #makelifearide #advriders #bmwmotorcycle #adventurebike #MakeLifeARide #BMWMotorad #bmwgs

Having the luxury of time to read and rediscover t Having the luxury of time to read and rediscover the culinary heritage of the Barossa Valley region in South Australia @mybarossa @barossafood has been an incredibly interesting way to travel during Covid19 restrictions. Recipes tell rich and interesting stories. Last week I discovered a delicious locally made @zimmysbarossapassions sauerkraut (with caraway), some of which ended up in this nourishing soup. Although not strictly of the origins of the original German Lutheran settlers but more traditionally made in the south of Germany and Austria, these addictive bacon and sauerkraut dumplings are a terrific way to use up those left over bits and pieces. The recipe is published today in @barossaleader or head to the link in my bio. ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ #zimmys #sauerkraut #speck #dumplings #barossafood #barossa #food #foodie #instafood #foodinstagram #regionalfood #foodregion #speckknoedel #localfood #foodlover #theleader #barossavalley #sourdoughbreadcrumbs
Another foraging expedition around the Mount Crawf Another foraging expedition around the Mount Crawford forest yesterday in search of saffron milk caps didn’t deliver but the forest is always an interesting, quiet place protected way below the pine tree canopy on a windy day. There were though more of the abundant slippery jacks and other less edible but curiously interesting fungi. ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ #slipperyjacks #fungi #mountcrawfordforest #southaustralia #foraging #pineforest #wherearethesaffronmilkcaps
So missing the @genuinelysouthernforests @newtonor So missing the @genuinelysouthernforests @newtonorchards apple season in particular the stunning @bravoapples but... South Australia also delivers in the pome department. Yesterday I came across this beauty. The Cleopatra apple was the forerunner to over hundred years of productive and profitable stone fruit growing in the Barossa Valley for dried, canned and fresh fruit sales. A beautiful heritage variety described as having a tender, very juicy flesh with good flavour that sadly has been lost from commercial production for many years apart from a few small orchards left. These delicious Cleo’s are grown at Gully Gardens just out of Angaston in the @mybarossa Barossa Valley for drying and selling in their farm shop in my new hood. ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ #cleopatraapple #gullygardens #barossavalley #apple #southaustralia #barossafood #barossa
According to Google Trends, banana bread is the nu According to Google Trends, banana bread is the number one recipe searched for since the 1st March. Baking, as the absence of flour on our supermarket shelves reveals, has made a comeback and understandably so. The return on the time and cost of ingredient investment during this worrying period has multiple comforting and enjoyable benefits. There are so many banana bread recipe variations (361,000,000 options in a 0.57 second search) but this one is my go-to as it’s lighter, less sweet, extra wholesome with the addition of the healthy LSA (linseed, sesame, almond) premix and the taste made interesting with the addition of sesame seeds. Perfect for school lunches and with a generous smear of crunchy peanut butter or my favourite topped with tahini, honey and yoghurt. The recipe will be published in tomorrow’s @barossaleader or via the link in my bio. ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ #bananabread #bananaandsesamebread #wholefood #healthycooking #LSA #sesame #tahini #wholesome #quickbread #barossaleader #bake #cakesofinstagram #picnicfood #homemadecake #healthyeating #delicious
A new Motorcycle Diary blog post is fresh off the A new Motorcycle Diary blog post is fresh off the press albeit with altered content as a result of these Coronavirus times. Instead of sharing travel experiences they’ll be a bit more domestic in nature but inevitably include a bit of history, local culture, landscapes, botanical, architectural, crafting, fresh produce & cooking content.
