Bisque was originally a term used for soups made with game birds. Since the 17th century, though, it has been used to refer to any soup made from shellfish (lobster, crab, or prawns) where the meat is made into a broth then sautéed with onions, carrots, celery and spices and thickened with rice or cream. The whole is blended until it achieves a flawlessly creamy consistency. These days, any creamy, blended soup is called a bisque; hence, celery bisque is just as likely to be on the menu as the more famous lobster bisque.…

In the cooler weather, soups take more of a starring role in the weekly food repertoire. Aside from being delicious, soups, like your favourite cosy jumper, bring a level of comfort to your table. One of the best things is you can make a soup out of just about anything, making soups ideal for reducing food waste or breathing new life into leftovers. Miso soup is one of my all-time favourite dishes and, when you learn a little more about miso, I hope you will agree. This is, however, by no means the only way to use this magical functional food. THE JOY OF MISO Miso is a Japanese fermented bean paste and, although commonly made using soybeans, can also be made using rice, barley or buckwheat. Taste-wise, miso sits…

“The old French tradition of double boiling at a slow simmer preserves the integrity of the fruit in taste, aroma and vapour.” There aren’t too many places to hide when you’re making a sugar-free jam or fruit spread so it’s imperative that the fruits used be at their prime and of the highest quality. Before we can even get into the making of fruity spreads to put on your toast that don’t have cane sugar added, we need to be clear about our terms. CAN “JAM” BE SUGAR FREE? First up, let’s clarify what constitutes a jam or a fruit spread. Australian regulations tell us that for a conserved fruit product to be classified and sold as jam it must contain cane sugar. So any preserved fruit product that doesn’t…

There is debate as to whether the flat white coffee was invented in New Zealand or Australia. But the question is not who invented it but what is a flat white? Cafes will generally offer cappuccino, flat white or latte options — but what’s the difference? A cappuccino has between 1.5 and 2cm of foam and is topped with chocolate. Flat whites and lattes both have less foam and no chocolate. Usually, cafes will serve lattes in glasses and flat whites in cups. When pressed, baristas and coffee lovers will tell you the difference between a flat white and a latte is a few millimetres of microfoam. Take your tape measure and test it out.…

“While all parts the leek are edible the preferred part for cooking is the tender white stem.” The leek is a member of the onion family — it looks like a large spring onion. And, believe it or not, boyo, despite its prominent place on the crest of the Welsh guards, it isn’t native to Wales. Leeks actually originated in Central Asia and from there spread to Europe, where they became very popular in areas around the Mediterranean. As with all of the onion family, leeks have a reputation for helping with cholesterol levels and lowering blood pressure. While certainly healthy, leeks are most prized for their taste. Like their relatives, they have a pungency to them but it’s tempered by a herby sweetness that is very appealing. The delicate…

Relish is a fruit or vegetable side-dish that’s used to add flavour to a bland-tasting dish. On occasion, the relish can also complement a stronger-tasting meal. Sometimes it’s the taste and sometimes it’s the texture contrast that makes relish so pleasurable. Cultures around the world have developed their own relishes but the common feature is that they are made using a fruit or vegetable finely cut and in a spiced or sweetened sauce. In Indonesia they have sambal. In India they have chutney, achar and raita. Koreans love their kimchi and in Italy they enjoy their mostarda di frutta, a blend of fruits in sweet syrup with mustard.…

With so many different types of milk on offer these days, it’s hard to know what dairy, if any, is best for our health. With nut milk options like almond, macadamia and cashew milk through to plant milks such as rice and soy — not to mention low-fat, full-cream, lactose-free and A2 milk — it’s no wonder your head is spinning in the dairy isle. Don’t worry; ours too. But, before you reach into the fridge to pick out your weekly milk of choice, let me introduce you to a new “kid” on the block: goat milk. Despite being one of the world’s most widely consumed milks, goat milk is only beginning to gain popularity in the west. And rightly so — when ethically farmed and consumed in its raw…

“You don’t need to change your life that much to reduce your impact on the environment and contribute to a better future for people across the world.” Fair trade’s focus is the welfare of farmers and workers in developing countries and it aims to improve their working conditions and wages. These people are some of the planet’s most marginalised and disadvantaged. Locally, we can have a positive impact on their lives through the products we buy. Fair trade is fundamentally all about conscience and common sense. WHY IS FAIR TRADE IMPORTANT? The majority of our coffee, tea, cocoa and cotton are grown by poor people in developing countries, including parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Many of these farmers and workers are subject to low wages, poor working conditions,…
