Comment on The Cookbook Challenge ~ Week 20 Tangy by Shanna

you can freeze fingerlimes very successfully. I have a tree of my own, Pink variety. I just wash the fruit, leave them whole and put into ziplock bags. When i want one i just left it out of the freezer and they thaw out in no time at all. The little fruit viscules are still whole.

Thank you Injera! The photos were good early on but not as easy to take as the light faded. Glad you like turophile – it is a great word isn’t it. I must admit to a certain excitement when I discovered it.

This sounds fabulous! Beautiful words and pictures, Jo. Can’t wait to give it a try. And $75 seems like exceptional pricing for that meal. Also… TUROPHILE! How did I *not* have that word in my vocabulary until now?

Hi Reemski – there isn’t is there? The chef produced some really lovely dishes and also took the time to come out and speak to the tables that were there at the end of the evening. A lovely night all round. Jo

Hi Brenda – for the Merguez sausages I would go to either Jonathon’s in Collingwood or Peter Bouchier in Hawksburn – but it depends where you live. Barossa Fine Foods also make them and their website has an extensive list of stockists. I bought my moghrabieh at a Middle Eastern Supermarket off Sydney Rd – I am pretty sure it was called BAS Foods. Oasis Bakery in Murrumbeena also has them as do may good delis. I found that if you ask your local deli/butcher they are often the best place to start, if they don’t have an ingredient, chances are they can get it in or point you in the right direction. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and leave a comment. Happy ingredient hunting! Jo

Hi Leaf – it is a delicious salad. I actually thinking of adding pomegranate seeds to it next time for even more flavour and a nice textural element.
