Dec 22: Perhaps the best part of Christmas is the getting ready. Busy making Gravalax, courtesy of Wychwood Garden, Tasmania, to be enjoyed for Christmas dinner. We will also enjoy Baked Ham with Medlar Jelly, from a recipe provided by Anlaby Station in South Australia; Sal Hunter’s smashed potatoes (with Desiree potatoes from the garden), and Barb-B-Q Quail in Soy, Honey and Ginger, followed by Bruny Island Mess (a version of Eton Mess), using Bruny Island cherries in season….the last two recipes given to me by Michael and Bob at wonderful Hiba Garden. Stay tuned for the book!
