Text of the page (random words):
t memes on the internet the other day and bad goat jokes were rife believe it or not the billy idol example was one of the better ones goats have been on my mind because today s three ways with column is all about using goat meat milk and cheese the latter has become much more common in new zealand in recent years there were loads of great goats cheese entries in the recent outstanding food producer awards for example but the former two are only just on the cusp of being mainstream it s a pity because they re delicious and they tick all the boxes in terms of careful production and quality i was inspired to make my own cajeta pictured above after tasting hamilton company cilantro s version making your own is fun not difficult and yields a generous amount that will disappear quickly it s the closest thing i ve tasted to manjar the highly addictive chilean dulce de leche one spoonful and you ll never be satisfied with salted caramel again if you re too pure to sully your palate with such decadence but want to have a play with goats milk in the kitchen i strongly recommend diy goats curd i make it quite often short dated goats milk is often on special at my local food emporium and it s the sort of kitchen magic trick everyone should know how to perform diy goats curd this is about as simple as cooking gets milk heat coagulant time soft creamy goats cheese smoosh a bit on some toasted baguette drizzle over some extra virgin olive oil and bliss will be yours 500ml 2 cups goats milk 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice a pinch of salt heat the goats milk until simmering point remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice let sit for 10 15 minutes until curds have begun to form while you re waiting line a sieve with muslin i use a very fine cotton table napkin and set it over a large bowl carefully pour the curds milk into the sieve leave to drain for at least 20 minutes pressing it gently to squeeze out the whey if you re not in a hurry you can put the sieve bowl arrangement in the fridge and let it drain for a couple of hours when you re ready scrape the curds into a small bowl use immediately or cover and store in the fridge are you a fan of goats produce or do you have a good goat joke to share let me know labels cheese diy gluten free good things three ways with treats wellington winter posted by unknown at 07 44 3 comments tuesday

after sitting in the car for an hour because the weather wreaked havoc on the traffic harrumph tangelo and cinnamon sorbet yum but today the sun has come out and it seems like the long weekend might

unknown at 20 54 2 comments wednesday january 18 2017 bone broths of contention news that popsicles made from bone broth are summer s coolest new treat has made me feel decidedly hot under the collar if you re slow to catch on a sydney cafe has started marketing brothsicles made from frozen beef broth coconut milk and raspberries cacao or mango mmmm mmmm want one i guess it s no business of mine if people want to go around sucking on frozen beef broth tszuj ed up with raw cacao and raspberries what i really object to is this wide eyed wonder about bone broth in general if you believe everything you read this magic elixir can cure cancer make your nails grow longer and improve your sex life there are many reports about its supposed beauty benefits too but i found reading these breathless stories only deepened my frown lines what everyone seems to have forgotten if indeed they ever knew in the first place is that bone broth is essentially good old fashioned stock dressed up in the emperor s new clothes don t start me i m not sure where this fervour came from but now it s hard to find a newly published cookbook or wellness blog that isn t overflowing with evangelical praise for the kind of thing that metaphorical thrifty grandmothers have been making for decades whereas bone broth is so cool they make ice blocks out of it there is nothing fashionable about stock no one except ordinary boring old cooks ever gets excited about a good stock s potential and they re unlikely to be wondering if it s better for your skin than botox ordinary boring old cooks love stock because it adds depth and flavour to whatever you ve put it in ordinary boring old cooks know that a proper slow simmered stock gives a certain je ne sais quoi to a soup stew or sauce that s why i spent several hours yesterday wrestling a giant ham bone into my largest stockpot i added a couple of onions a few sticks of celery and several carrots then filled the whole thing to the brim with water i covered the pot and let it simmer away for about three hours while i did a whole lot of uncool things like washing and work and gardening at the end the house smelled like ham not entirely sure if this is a good thing i d boosted my bone health by doing some weight bearing lifting in the garden and i m sure the smug satisfaction of doing such a thrifty kitchen task had given me an enviable glow best of all i now have three litres of stock in the freezer to use in the winter perhaps i should turn it into a kind of granita and sell it at a pop up down in the village ham bone granita want some in the meantime if you want a truly delicious frozen treat i wholeheartedly recommend the dr feelgood range of icepops these are without question the most delicious ice creams i ve come across this summer the fact that they re bone broth free could have something to do with that posted by unknown at 16 50 7 comments wednesday january 11 2017 in bloom ricotta stuffed nasturtiums

books how are those new year resolutions going fallen off the wagon yet evidence suggests that most people do especially if their resolutions are all about depriving themselves of the things they love far better i think to have a positive goal in mind than kick off a new year with a focus on deprivation the best new year resolution i ve seen or heard is from alessandra zecchini who has vowed to eat chocolate and try new things i m planning to adopt that one along with growing more vegetables planting a lime tree and buying some more wineglasses we had a smashing good time over the festive period small goals maybe but still valid ones when i look back to this time last year it turns out that i achieved all the things i planned to do and ran a marathon despite feeling like i never got around to doing very much so perhaps the real resolution is to expect less of yourself and be pleasantly surprised by the results in the meantime i m trying to maintain a positive frame of mind about returning to my day job tomorrow gulp how am i going to cope without a slab of christmas cake for morning tea and an snooze after lunch back to work smoothie here s my recipe for a quick summer breakfast that a feels like a treat and b will keep you going until lunchtime this is a good way to use up your stash of frozen bananas but the rapidly ripening ones in the fruit bowl will also work well i prefer almond milk in smoothies but use whatever you like i also think the banana makes it sweet enough but add a little honey if you need an extra boost 1 banana sliced 1 tbsp cocoa 1 tbsp tahini or peanut butter 1 tbsp ground lsa or almonds 3 4 cup almond milk throw all the ingredients in a blender and whizz until smooth pour into a glass and drink immediately serves one if you re resolving to make some bigger changes to the way you eat in 2017 you might be keen on two new books full of advice and recipes youtube sensation niomi smart s first book eat smart what to eat in a day every day

books in the next week hope you ve had a great start to 2017 x posted by unknown at 09 30 6 comments tuesday september 06 2016 chunky white choc orange and cranberry slice i read something last week about how invisible prisons jobs societal pressures parenting caring for older relatives meant that modern women are shackled with more responsibilities than their mothers and grandmothers i don t know if that s true personally if that s the price i have to pay for being able to vote drive own property and be generally free to do what i like i m fine with it but last week i did find myself wishing i did a bit less there s nothing like racing home after work on the night of the school production and remembering en route that you were supposed to bake something for the cake stall to give you conniptions is there now i know i could have ignored the cake stall request or i could have been more organised and done it a few days in advance but i didn t do either of those things instead i whipped up this slab of deliciousness in 20 minutes while concurrently making boiled eggs for dinner and getting the child in and out of the bath we then made it to the show on time and all the lovely mothers it s always mothers isn t it who are so good they even run the cakestall cooed over the slice and wanted the recipe in that moment i felt a little bit less like a failure and more like a contributing member of society even if my child was appearing in the show with a whopper of a black eye but that s another story chunky white choc orange and cranberry slice there are a zillion versions of this slice and the world probably doesn t need another one but if you have weeks where the wheels are coming off and yet you still need to bake this will save your bacon or bakin or something anyway this version is better than all the others because it s big and chunky and therefore more satisfying to eat it s also slightly less sweet than some versions if you re very very short of time you may like to know that it s possible to pre crush the packet of biscuits with the full tin of condensed milk while you re stopped at the lights also if you don t have quite enough biscuits add a little more coconut or use less butter if you re reading this while running to the shops a 200g packet of dried cranberries will give you enough for the base and the topping while a 250g block of whittaker s white chocolate will fulfill all your chocolate needs 100g butter 1 2 a tin about 3 4 cup condensed milk 300g plain sweet biscuits bashed to large crumbs keep a few big pieces in there for texture 1 cup desiccated coconut 125g white chocolate roughly chopped zest of an orange 1 cup dried cranberries 125g white chocolate roughly chopped for the icing 125g white chocolate 50g butter 1 cup icing sugar juice of an orange use the one you zested above 1 2 cup dried cranberries line a 20 x 25cm tin or thereabouts with baking paper leaving enough overhanging the sides that you can use to pull it out later melt the butter and condensed milk together over low heat in a large pot let cool briefly then tip in the biscuits coconut most of the orange zest cranberries and chocolate stir to mix then tip into the prepared tin press down the overhanging paper will help here to smooth the top put in the freezer use the same pot to make the icing melt the butter and white chocolate over very very low heat sift in the icing sugar and stir well then squeeze in a little orange juice at a time until it forms a thick spreadable mixture pour over the biscuit base then sprinkle the cranberries and reserved orange zest on top return to the freezer for 5 10 minutes before slicing and racing out the door if your life is more leisurely let the icing set in the fridge before slicing store in an
