Healing through cultural food. How do the seasons teach us and guide us on what to eat. It’s important to remember our culture as it is the very ingredient of who we are. Food is our teacher, it teaches us about ourselves, how we eat, what we eat is important for our wellbeing. Being present across the table in our kitchen, is the most important executive position, in the lineage of our family line, we are the representatives of our past, present and what we sow into today is what is reaped into the future of our children we are the ambassadors to our family.

Fresh Seafood from the Trawlers on the Gold Coast

If you are like me and you love seafood you can go onto my youtube channel and watch this episode on fresh seafood.

There is nothing as delicious than buying seafood and then going home and cooking it, the best therapy in the WORLD!

When I am stressed or anxious I cook and keep cooking until the feelings subside, and I don't think of anything else.

I sit with Marco and eat what I have cooked and let things be what they are.

Che sara sara is my motto.

Let what will be, be in life, there is nothing you or I can do, only let it be, like the beatles song.

Carmela's Cucina Povera a journey of self discovery and healing through Sicilian cooking

Here's a little video on my first book available on Amazon.

It's about my family their story of how food is the center of their life. Their recipes, and I share about each one with you.

There is 77 recipes of Cucina Povera, I wrote the book just after both my parents died within 8 months of each other.

I woke up at 5 o'clock each morning with a flow that I just did not want to finish, it felt that if I stopped I would forget about each one, the details especially.

It was so important to me to share it with you, why?

Each one sacrificed their lives for the future of their children and grandchildren, they came to Australia just after WW2 and worked.

They worked and saved and more, always thinking about the future and planting seeds for the future generations to come.

How can I explain to you who they are?

By reading the book and finding out for yourself that way you can let me know what you think. I would love your feedback.

I imagine that you probably have your own story to tell me, I would love to know.

What’s in season local organic produce for winter

What is in season is something we should be asking ourselves every season.

Here's the recipe for Jerusalem Artichoke Soup:

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 shallot or leek peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium carrot grated
  • 2 stalks of celery grated
  • 1 tablespoon of Confit Garlic (check out my Youtube on how to make it)
  • 900 grams of Jerusalem artichokes peeled and sliced
  • 900 grams of vegetable stock, remember when you blanche your vegetables to keep the water the minerals are in that water, place it in an airtight container and date it so you know when you made it.
  • 60 ml of coconut cream
  • 30 grams of chives washed and roughly chopped
  • Celtic salt and cayenne pepper to taste.

Instructions:

Heat the oil in a large saucepan add the shallots or leeks, celery, carrots and garlic and gently saute when the soffrito has softened after about 5 minutes, add the jerusalem artichokes and stock bring to boil, reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 20 minutes or until the soft.

Blend the soup into a food processor then place into the saucepan add the cream and season to taste this is a great super soup!

Unbosoming in the Daily Mirror with Cathy
Hi there, in this episode I share with you my friend Cathy who runs a local radio broadcast called the Daily Mirror Heres the recipe for the croquette: Large knife Cutting board large pot for frying Colander to strain potatoes Potato ricer Medium bowl with egg wash 2 Large bowls one for potato mixture, one for breadcrumbs Large baking sheet with baking paper Slotted spoon 1 kg Desire Potatoes  1/2 cup of Parsley Chopped 3 tbsp Pecorino cheese or Parmesan cheese Proscuitto Crudo, about 4 slices, if you want you don't have to put it in. Mozzarella cheese 2 Eggs 1 for mix, 1 for egg wash 1 tsp Nutmeg optional Bread crumbs Fresh is best or Panko Breadcrumbs Salt & Pepper Sunflower oil or Canola Oil, for frying Wash your potatoes, then cut them in half—no need to peel them for this recipe. Add the potatoes to a large pot with water and boil on medium-high heat for 20 minutes. While the potatoes are cooking, dice the prosciutto crudo and mozzarella. This helps the cheese melt inside the potato croquettes. Cool the potatoes slightly; they need to be warm for mashing. Then using the potato ricer, mash them into a bowl and let them cool for another five minutes. Add the parsley, pecorino cheese, salt, a generous amount of pepper, and one egg into the cooled mashed potatoes. Don't be afraid to add more pecorino if you want! Mix the potato mixture using one hand until well combined. It’s time to shape and add the filling into the potato croquettes. Wet your hands, have a side dish with water this will help you to dip your hands into it and then scoop up a portion of potato and flatten it, leaving a dent for the mozzarella and ham filling. Once filled, close the croquette and roll it into a log shape, ensuring the edges are square. Set aside on a tray lined with baking paper. Repeat until all the potato croquettes are formed. Add oil to a large pot and have your stove on medium-high heat. Cover the potato croquettes with beaten eggs and breadcrumbs one by one, making sure they're completely covered. Set aside once you have done this step so they can rest and firm up. Place croquettes (depending on your pan, make sure that they are loose so that they have room to fry) into your hot oil and gently stir as they cook for three minutes or until golden brown. When each one is ready, remove the croquettes with a slotted spoon. Drain each batch on a plate with paper towels and repeat until all the potato croquettes are cooked. These croquettes are street food in Sicily, you can place them into a roll and mangia enjoy!
