A feast from our garden.

A beautiful first day back on the farm yesterday. The constant rain of the past few weeks had stopped on my arrival, it was a balmy night and we were able to plan a meal outdoors. The previously mentioned fried zucchini blossoms were on the menu along with sage leaves, dill, basil and peas from our garden. I stuffed the blossoms with a creamy goats cheese and basil slivers, dipped them in my very light batter and fried them up. Also dipped sage and basil leaves, dill sprigs and sugar snap and snow peas. With a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of maldon salt, accompanied by a very pale Rose from Provence, we were in food heaven. Followed by some grilled salmon with dill sour cream , our peas and baby new potatoes from the Carlyle Farmer's Market which opened today. Sydney's wet winter is a distant memory.
