If you had of told me 10 years ago that I’d be wanting to squeeze as many flowers into our veggie garden as possible I wouldn’t have believed it. I always thought of my efforts and garden space as being for edible endeavours only. Now I search out the most beautiful varieties that are easy to grow as I can and each spring wait in anticipation to see what will volunteer themselves from the season before. Excited to see these newcomers thrive this year after an average season last year. The big pinky ‘cafe au lait’ is as big as a dinner plate… aren’t you so in love with the colour!?

Isn’t Kumara foliage just so pretty? I love how it trails around the garden. I always miss some kumara, hidden in the garden at harvest but the upshot of this is that I have plenty of babies pop up the next spring to pull and use again for planting. I like to pop them in a jar of water to establish the roots. Then I lay them down on the garden bed creating a U shape with the stalk and roots before covering with soil. This year I have made a special bed for them next to fence in the hopes to train the kumara foliage over the fence, cause it’s super pretty and also to stop the runners popping down suckers in random places where I can’t find the kumara!

Family and food go together like peanut butter and chocolate (family being the nutty part
of the equation 😆). May you and your loved ones have a wonderful holiday season and celebrate over great food and a few cheeky drinks. Here’s some Christmas fare I prepared this month for a nutty and delicious family of students and their parents and teachers.

It’s that time when the tomato plants are brown and withering and often being pulled down by the weight of unripe fruit. I wait for as long as possible to pull my plants and the time has come. There are tons are delicious green tomato chutney recipes online. I used Emma Galloways one.

Woke up this morning on a mission! Started with a breakfast for champs of caramelised banana pancakes and then (finally) extended the garden bed. Made about 100 times easier with the Crafty Gatherer Forksta that my awesome friends make. I turned all the topsoil and then layered with grass cuttings and leaf matter. Hopefully will be ready to use within the next few weeks.

I love a good broth and my favourite by far is Mexican broth. Mexi broth was introduced to me by my teacher Satsang with Kumu to whom I am eternally grateful! The aromatic oregano, cumin, and coriander root, the brightness of lime, the smokey tones of charred onion and garlic along with the chilli kick are flavours to be adored. If I have time i'll make a vege stock from scratch but to be honest, most of the time I use a good quality stock or broth powder and it's still ah-mazing. With the addition of hominy (nixtamalized corn), fresh avocado and coriander leaves and a crunch of corn chips this dish is next level and one of my faves to serve at retreats.

Happy Matariki every one! So much gratitude to those who joined us to celebrate the winter solstice and the beginning of a new year as we move back into the light. Snuggling up around the fire with songs and stories of love, reverence and joy for the natural cycles and of connection, belonging and family. Celebrating in this way brings a whole new meaning to winter! Thank you Satsang with Kumu for leading us through yet another deeply wonderful Satsang.
