Baking...

I am a chef, by trade, and at the moment i get some little jobs baking cakes for people. I like to do old-fashioned, , homey- style looking cakes. Nothing too fancy...

TOMATOES....

Our tomatoes are still going strong. Cherry , Grape, Roma and Appollo are the varieties we chose to grow this year and they have been brilliant. We do have plenty of fertilizer here in the way of manure, i am sure that helps. Chook,  Horse and Cow poo are in good supply. Other than that, we just water when we remember..
I have made Tomato and Chilli Chutney and some Fried Green Tomatoes..
Tomatoes on toast with Ricotta and Basil..

green tomatoes dipped in flour, egg, then crumbs..



Crumbs made from my  Pumpkin Bread..

Fried and served with our wild rocket and some cracked pepper..
