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.

Blueberry muffins are a classic but instead of bei Blueberry muffins are a classic but instead of being overly sweet and doughy, this recipe includes the healthy goodness of buckwheat flour, the zingy warmth of preserved ginger and honey instead of sugar. Use the uncrystallised type labelled as Naked Ginger from @buderimginger Instead of frozen or fresh blueberries, you can also use fresh apple, pear or even bananas cut into small pieces. Recipe published this week in @barossaleader or click on the link in my bio. ˙ ˙ ˙ Recipe: Sophie Zalokar 📸: Sophie Zalokar ˙ ˙ ˙ #blueberrymuffin #blueberry #ginger #preservedginger #buderimginger #honey #buckwheat #buckwheatflour #shoplocal #saproduce #barossafood #barossavalley #saproduce #smallproducers #southaustralia #barossafoodie #instagood

This is my go-to quick pickle base recipe for when This is my go-to quick pickle base recipe for when I either need to use up those rapidly aging vegetables in the crisper drawer before heading to the @barossafarmersmarket or I’m wanting to have an extra easy vegetable addition to meals that’s quick to serve alongside a rich protein. Pickled vegetables are delicious alongside roast pork, silverside with all the trimmings, sausages, chicken or pork schnitzel or on a platter with a hard mature cheese, ham and rye bread. This pickle base is particularly good for winter root and brassica vegetables. The important thing to remember is to make sure the vegetables are cut into slices or shapes that roughly have the same cooking time so they're uniformly the same light crunchy texture. ˙ ˙ Produce: @barossafarmersmarket @krproduce Recipe: www.sophiezalokar.com 📸: Sophie Zalokar ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ #barossafarmersmarket #pickledvegetable #pickles #applecidervinegar #pickle #quickpickle #instagood #barossafood #instafood #foodie #instadaily #instayummy
There are still field mushrooms to be found on wal There are still field mushrooms to be found on walks in the wild but this soup is also worth the dollar investment if none can be foraged for in your neck of the woods. Pearl barley thickens the soup and adds a luscious creamy texture that’s both nourishing and warming on these Wintery days and night. Add extra stock if too thick as pearl barley can continue to thicken after it’s become tender enough to eat.

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
