Green banana flour

Smoking paprika
A bumper paprika crop means it’s time to make one of my best decisions so far and smoke it.
Growing paprika
Paprika is made from specific varieties of capsicum, and this summer, I grew and processed my own.
Magical mushrooms
Mushrooms are popping up all over our paddock, and we are enjoying the hunt!

Home-grown garlic salt with rosemary. One of the best ways to store and use a garlic harvest.
My favourite herbs
A look into how I grow, and cook with a selection of some of the herbs growing at The Outpost.
