This Lemon Semolina Cake keeps fresh as it has a Lemon Syrup poured over the top, the semolina can be sustituted with rice flour to be gluten free.

Wet miserable day here today so made some chicken,leek & cream cheese pies. After watching Simon Gault on NZ Masterchef making his Game Pie decided to try his recipe less the Duck and I made small pies with a potato topping, they are very good.

Black Passionfruit

Chris & Chris Shaw of Baker's Creek Orchard grow these yummy passionfruit in Karamea. Elizabeth who is staying with us from HelpEx, scraped and strained the pulp to get enough juice so I could make a jelly to serve with creme brulee, tasted good.

Quince Jelly

Drove to Karamea to get some Back Passionfruit from Baker's Creek Orchard,  Chris gave me some Quinces so made some Quince Jelly, tastes good.

Breakfast at Beachfront Farmstay

Sharon & Bernard from Sydney who very kindly helped me set up my blog. I am so lucky to have guests who go out of their way to help me with IT.
