The first courgette or zucchini flower đŸ„° Summer The first courgette or zucchini flower đŸ„° Summer’s coming
. Ever tried one with tempura batter? I’ve eaten them but never tried cooking one myself. So I’m thinking about either on its own or stuffed with lemon-flavoured ricotta, and deep-fried for 3-4 minutes in a thin beer or sparkling water tempura batter
 any advice? Of course, I need to leave some to grow into zucchini too! #growyourown #nzgardener #courgetteflowers #freshfromthegarden #tempurazucchiniflower
An area in the garden I’m enjoying at the moment An area in the garden I’m enjoying at the moment is around this old metal water tank we repurposed as a fish pond. The planting is in acid greens, purples and reds/oranges with size differences in the leaves to give a tropical feel. Plants include: taro, bananas, Californian poppies, cannas and loropetalum. Later in the year there’ll also be chocolate sunflowers, dark red dahlias and hibiscus. Monty Don’s Jewel Garden was one inspiration 😊 #montydoninspired #jewelgarden #nztropicalplants #nztropicalstyle #orangepurplegreen #plantingideas #tropicalgardendesign

 kasoundi. I’m getting ready for the Coromandel Labour Weekend seasonal market. Sterilising jars is always the starting point - wash the jars in hot soapy water then put them upside down in the oven for 20 minutes at 120 degrees C (or 250F). #sterilisingjars #sterilisation #preservingfood #preserving

Cauliflower two ways
 Cut some cauliflower ‘st Cauliflower two ways
 Cut some cauliflower ‘steaks’ which can be parboiled than fried, and use the ‘offcuts’ to make purĂ©e. I made a crumb to go with this which was breadcrumbs, bacon, parsley, finely chopped pumpkin seeds, pan fried until crunchy. #cauliflower #cauliflowersteak #nzcauliflower #cauliflowerrecipes

Love me a bit of kai moana ❀ Mussels are supe Love me a bit of kai moana ❀ Mussels are super-easy to cook. Once the mussels are room-temperature, chuck out any broken ones or those that won’t close when you tap them. Finely chop an onion, throw it in a big pan with some herbs and a splash of NZ white wine, then bring to a high heat and cook the mussels shaking the pan occasionally until they open. Mop up the juice with some fresh bread and serve with a glass of the wine you used earlier. Delish! #coromandelmussels #nzmussels #greenlippedmussels #howtocookmussels #howtocookmusselswithwhitewine #kaimoana #easymusselrecipe #nzwine #nzwinefoodpairing #nzwinefood
