| wild lemons |
Our friend who lives across the road has a little tree of wild, organic lemons. They are perfect for making preserved lemons 'cos there are no pesticides/wax etc on the skins. Mmmm I could make lemon curd too...

| enamel roaster and lid |
OK I am crazy about enamel dishes! I have quite a few (lots!) and some in glorious technicolour orange that I bought at a local antique store (I think they are from the 60's or 70's). I am planning lots of comforting casseroles and baked dinners in this one.

| self-explanatory:) |
I saw this at my local Woolie's the other day and was very intrigued. I think I will try making coconut pudding again but with this sugar. I love the way they make it! Coconut palm flowers are gathered, the nectar collected and dried into bricks then ground into granules. It is apparently the most sustainable sweetener in the world, as it uses less energy and resources, and produces more sugar per acre than sugar cane. There you are, your lesson for the day:)

| cookbook of Holocaust survivors' recipes |
I have always been interested in Jewish recipes; not sure why, but I love the recipes and am fascinated and horrified by stories of the Holocaust. I still cannot believe that people have ever treated others with such disrespect and hatred. This book has recipes from Holocaust survivors, and I am looking forward to dipping into it.

| beautiful freshly harvested olive oil |
I can't wait to try this one. I always buy Aussie boutique oils if I can in order to support the local industry and to save food miles. This one just looks so gorgeous and has just been harvested and processed recently. I think it won a prize in New York too!
See you again next month for In My Kitchen. Check out Celia's blog to find out how to join in on the fun.
That oil looks rather tasty! haven't seen it marketed like this.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how long they have been doing these limited edition oils. I think you can only buy it online for a short time. I ordered mine weeks ago!:)
DeleteOh where did you find that Cobram oil? It looks lovely!
ReplyDeletehi lorraine. online only i think. get in quick while they still have some!:)
Deletenever come across wild lemons before - are they more tart than regular lemons? I'd love a peek in the holocaust cookbook - something triumphant about recipes that have survived such horrors and are still being shared.
ReplyDeletehi johanna
Deletei think they are just regular lemons that have gone feral! ie unloved and untended:) so- possibly not real bush lemons which are as you may know very knobbly and crazy looking..
Oh boy, the olive oil looks amazing. We're just harvesting our olives at the moment and I'm just investigating presses. I use that coconut sugar. It doesn't have a coconut taste, so you can use it where you would use regular brown sugar. Thanks for the tour of your kitchen.
ReplyDeletethanks for the info re the coconut sugar. i am definitely going to try it out soon. And I can't wait to try the olive oil.
DeleteLots of goodies indeed! My mum would love that cookbook- where did you find it? Thanks for the tour :)
ReplyDeletehi,
Deletei bought this book online. I got it from Amazon but I noticed lots of other online stores had it too. Thanks for dropping by:)
Thanks for playing, Sherry! There's a bit of a theme in this month's IMK - we've all serendipitously showcased our enamelware! I've just bought a new version of your roaster to bake my high hydration sourdough loaves in, and it works a treat! Lovely lemons - it's so nice to have unwaxed ones, isn't it? :)
ReplyDeletehi celia.. Yes i think enamelware is fab and so do lots of others clearly:) these lemons are so good! you can safely use the zest in anything.
ReplyDeleteI need to find myself that recipe book. Thank you for sharing it and the lovely goodies in your kitchen :)
ReplyDeleteAmazon has copies. I haven't read much of it yet but it is interesting reading.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to In My Kitchen, Sherry. What a lovely peek into your kitchen this month. The cookbook is really interesting and I look forward to seeing a recipe you make from it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Maureen. It is a fun idea. And yes such an interesting cookbook!
DeleteWelcome Sherry. Some excellent goodies in your kitchen. I especially love the look of those lemons and that olive oil!
ReplyDeletethanks taryn.
DeleteI like Cobram Estate too - very good quality oils. Well done for recycling those casserole dishes - so much better than going to landfill. Thanks for joining in IMK and we hope to see you soon.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to IMK! The more the merrier! I love enamel dishes too, and those wild lemons are looking mighty good!
ReplyDeletei am currently trying out lemon-infused olive oil with the lemons. Looks so gorgeous.
DeleteI have yet to try coconut sugar but am very keen to do so. Good luck with your pudding! I am impressed and inspired by that Jewish cookbook too. What a lovely notion out of such a sad stretch of history.
ReplyDeleteyes i have seen a few good recipes in that book already! :)
DeleteHi, Sherry! Welcome to IMK! Thanks for the lesson on coconut sugar. I got some recently, but hadn't tried baking with it yet. (Sprinkled it on fresh strawberries though -- delish!) Your olive oil must taste heavenly -- I love a good olive oil!
ReplyDeleteThanks kim!
DeleteHi kim
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was just so fascinated by the whole coconut sugar thing. I haven't actually used the olive oil yet. A joy yet to come.😃
Hi Sherry! Welcome to IMK from a fellow newbie! Those lemons look great, perfect for a number of things! :)
ReplyDeletethanks emily. this is fun isn't it? i am making lots of lemony stuff at the moment. lemon curd and lemon oil.
ReplyDeletesee you next month.
You have so many lovely things in your kitchen. The cookbook with recipes from Holocaust survival looks so interesting and I'm sure has many recipes to treasure and insight into a time that was not abundant with things. Your enamel roaster looks wonderful as does the freshly pressed olive oil...would love to find some as well!
ReplyDeleteI saw that Cobram were saying there wasn't much of the oil left. You have to buy it online I believe, not in the shops. Thanks for dropping in!
