everyones doing it nowadays, bloggin’! So why cant I!? I love food, I’m a chef in training, so my blogs going to be about two things, me and my food. I like simple, no fuss, rustic food, but I also like to step it up occassionally and do something fancy, but the main thing is that it tastes awesome. Tasty food is easy if you get good ingredients and i’m currently living on a farm in New Zealand, getting the best produce we can grow. Nothing tastes better than food picked from the garden, walked to the kitchen and cooked up within minutes of it leaving the ground. It doesnt even have to be cooked, alot of the eating goes on in the garden. As soon as the strawberries ripen, i’m bringing the bowl, spoon and the ice cream to the strawberry patch, I cant wait. I’ve always been excited by cooking and food, but now that I get to watch it grow from seed to fruit it seems to install a deeper passion and understanding of food and where it comes from, and especially when it is available….
With the help of my gorgeous wife, Steph (www.stephanieosmond.com), i’m going to be posting pictures of whats going on in the kitchen here at the farm, because, lets face it, we eat with our eyes first so you want to see some great photography and then maybe read a bit of this blah blah if you cant figure out exactly what it is in the picture…..
So, without further ado, heres some pics of me do a guest chef thingy for the Bees Blessing cordial launch. I had to come up with some tasty recipes that you could use their honey based cordial in, and then demo them to the guests at the party…
