Recipes
Delicious ways to use your harvest.
Green banana flour
An experiment in making a prodigious banana harvest last longer. More useful than expected, with some caveats
Smoking paprika
A bumper paprika crop means it’s time to make one of my best decisions so far and smoke it.
Coconut lemon slice (new and improved)
One of my Gran’s best recipes. Now tastier, lower in sugar, and higher in protein.
Home-grown peanut butter
Three years of growing peanuts came down to this. Home-grown, home-made peanut butter. Was it worth it?
Citrus meringue pie
A light, deceptively simple dessert that works with lemons, limes, or whatever citrus is looking good right now.
Garlic and rosemary salt
Home-grown garlic salt with rosemary. One of the best ways to store and use a garlic harvest.
Cooking in compost
A big compost pile generates serious heat. Enough to cook a steak. Yes, really.
Makin’ bacon
When life gives you a pig, you make bacon. A straightforward home-curing process from shot to bacon buttie.
Garlic bread
A simple garlic and herb bread recipe that can be frozen to save future-you some time.
Marilyn’s Cheesy Leeks
Mum’s cheese sauce recipe, designed to make leeks irresistible. Works on most vegetables, if I’m honest.
