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.

Nests intertwine more than grasses and detritus. This beautiful piece of bird real estate blew in on the wind. Fortunately no eggs or babies.

An Angelica flower about to burst. Spring is a season of hope & promise of life after a very very long winter.

Pickling asparagus when in season captures this beacon of Spring eating for those Summer platters ahead when the year rapidly tips towards Christmas. Taking the time to preserve excess or utilising market second grade produce helps not only your own choices but growers who are dealing with 60% plus of crop ‘waste’ as a result of our preference for cosmetic perfection over flavour. Tackling this issue has forced growers to look at value-adding in an effort to stay viable, investing and working with industry to capture lost revenue that simply rots back in to the ground. Listen in to @abcperth tomorrow 4 Sept between 6:30am – 7:00am when I’ll be chatting about this and more with @nadia.mitsopoulos & @russellwoolfe. Recipe link in my bio.

Heading into @abcperth again tomorrow morning for another fun Perth Foodies chat with @nadia.mitsopoulos & @russellwoolfe talking flavour tips & tricks such as this delicious, crunchy & slightly acidic bacon & walnut vinaigrette topper on a simple creamy potato soup. Perfect for these cold wintery nights. Recipe link in my bio. #abcperth #soup #genuinelysouthernforests #karricountrygourmetpotatoes #wapotatoes #omegawalnuts

Road tripping to Muresk for a @rrrnetwork Regional Leadership Masterclass, overnighting in the magnificent @premiermillhotel in Katanning. Absolutely brilliant preservation of heritage through modern sympathetic architecture and fit out. They even let me park out front! Generous hospitality. Memorable stay. #premiermillhotel #katanning #regionalwa #bmw1200gs

As the rain is yet to fall, basil has just held on long enough to make a batch of this roasted almond version of the traditional pesto, which uses pine nuts. The extra depth of flavour this gives to a simple pumpkin soup elevates this ubiquitous winter favourite to new heights. Admittedly, the addition of allspice to the soup base also adds warmth but be quick before basil beds down for the winter along with choosing @genuinelysouthernforests @warrengrangefreshproduce pumpkin. I thankfully see the forecast is for showers later this week. Soup weather is on its way.

A year ago I started in a part-time position with @genuinelysouthernforests as the Agritourism Co-ordinator. The Southern Forests Food Council is committed to unifying the area’s world-class and diverse producers to strengthen the region’s economy, attract investment and export opportunities, promote regional pride, and create sustainable jobs. It represents local producers, culinary and agri-tourism operators who live and work in what is WA’s premier food bowl, aiming to ultimately establish the Southern Forests as an internationally-recognised agricultural region and culinary tourism destination. 🍎 Agritourism is about bringing agriculture and tourism together. To experience, engage with and have the opportunity of being in direct contact with the land and the producers. To close the knowledge gap that’s become so wide between where, how and who produces the food we eat and the urban supermarkets and retailers. To regain a sense of ownership and connection with our primary food producers; who not only have the best stuff for a chef to work with, but can tell a cracking joke! 🥔 My job has been about promoting the Genuinely Southern Forests brand by creating custom seasonal-based itineraries for a variety of groups and this week, together with @buywesteatbest and @getfreshmerchants we hosted some of WA’s finest chefs to taste, talk and learn about their challenges and ways they can work together. 🥦 It was a memorable day made so by the contribution of so many people, behind the scenes and front and centre.

Trout has been part of Pemberton’s post settlement food story since the early 1930s when a school teacher’s experiment instigated the successful breeding program that recreational anglers have benefited from ever since. Tonight’s @foragersfieldkitchen Unearthed Festival Dinner includes house-smoked trout, pictured still in the brine awaiting the smoker, served on Buckwheat Potato Flatbread with local Watercress from the Lefroy Brook, Avocado, local Finger lime, Labna & Dill. Layers of flavour & history but most importantly a sense of Unearthed time & place in each bite. Still places available. $80pp BYO long table seating.
