Chartreuse is a liqueur containing no less than 130 different herbs. This French infusion owes its origins to an order of devout Catholic monks, the Carthusians, who settled in the Chartreuse Mountains in France in the 12th century. It was in 1605, in Vauvert, near Paris, when the Carthusian monks received a copy of a recipe for an “Elixir of Long Life”. This potent recipe called for a base of 70 per cent wine, plus 130 herbs and spices. By the 1700s the monks were creating a medicinal elixir based on this recipe that became known as “chartreuse”. In the 1800s they had expanded to include Green Chartreuse (at 55 per cent alcohol) and Yellow Chartreuse (at a mild 40 per cent). As the fame of Chartreuse spread, the French…

While rhubarb can be considered an acquired taste, it certainly has its fans. From rhubarb baked with custard, encased within a buttery pie crust, spooned over a bowl of vanilla ice cream or simply stewed with sugar, this sweet yet sour vegetable brings a zest to every dish it is added to. And you read correctly — rhubarb is actually a vegetable, not a fruit. The veggie family can claim this herbaceous plant, except for the US, which had a court ruling in New York in 1947 to make it officially deemed a fruit in that country. There’s a fact to file away for trivia night! How to grow it At Tahbilk Estate in Nagambie, northern Victoria, Di McDonald has been growing rhubarb for more than 25 years in her…

Raisins are produced from Muscat Gordo Blanco or Waltham Cross grapes. These grape varieties all contain seeds that are removed during processing to produce what is called a “seeded or stoned raisin”. These are generally seeded, oven-dried (rather than sun-dried) and treated to retain their light colour. Sultanas come from a seedless yellow grape and are usually softer and sweeter than other varieties. The usual variety of sultana grape is the Thompson seedless. Now that we know what makes a sultana and what makes a raisin, let us take a look at what University of California researchers have found out about raisins. The researchers asked athletes to eat raisins before exercise and found that raisins promoted greater carbohydrate oxidation in the athletes and can help performance. Compared to commercial sports…

“As the French have realised, Jerusalem artichokes are a marvellous soup vegetable.” Although they share a common name, globe artichokes and Jerusalem artichokes are quite different plants. Jerusalem artichoke is native to North America and is a part of the sunflower family of plants. The tuber of the Jerusalem artichoke grows up to 10 centimetres long and four to five centimetres thick. Sometime during the 17th century, the Jerusalem artichoke made its way to Europe and it has been popular there ever since, especially in France, and in fact it won the title “best soup vegetable” in the 2002 Nice Festival for the Heritage of the French Cuisine. Globe artichoke is like a thistle and has a long history of use as a culinary delicacy and a useful medicine. Unlike…

Cawl is a dish that is sometimes described as the national dish of Wales (although lovers of Welsh rarebit and laverbread might beg to differ). Certainly, cawl enjoys immense popularity among the Welsh and has a long historical link to the community of Wales. It dates back to the 11th century and could be slow-cooked all day while a family was working in the fields. Recipes for cawl vary from region to region in Wales but it is essentially a hearty, nourishing stew made from onions, swedes, carrots, leeks, potatoes, thyme, bacon and lamb or beef. For a vegetarian variety you can just leave out the meats and still have a delicious meal. The wonderful thing about cawl is that it tastes better the next day and even the day…

Walnuts are a good source of linolenic acid, one of the plant-based precursors of the omega-3 fats which are deficient in the Western diet and important for sperm health. Indeed, the polyunsaturated fats from walnuts are important for the maturation of sperm and for the integrity of the membrane around the sperm. It makes sense, then, that adding walnuts to the diet might improve sperm quality. In fact, in one study, healthy men aged 21 to 35 who ate 75 grams of walnuts per day for 12 weeks showed improvement in sperm vitality, motility and shape (morphology) as well as a reduction in DNA abnormalities. It might seem nuts, but walnuts may well be good for a man’s sperm.…
