19.01.2022 Product Review - Oakwood Free Range Berkshire Pork Cheese Kranskys For those of you that have not yet discovered the Oakwood Smallgoods smokehouse at The Mill on Walker St, Castlemaine, I strongly urge you to use this venue as a reason to visit Castlemaine. We have provided a large range of Oakwood smallgoods at the new Daylesford store and by all accounts, they are very well received. I write a brief review of the Free Range Berkshire Pork Cheese Kranskys here, but the big...ger picture is the production house where all the goods are made in the old traditional german style. Ralf smokes his range of delicacies in a real smoke house. The flavours are unique, the process is clean and traditional and the result is as expected. We offer a relatively small range (although large) of Oakwood's products at the Blake Family Grocers, but the range Ralf offers at his Charcuterie is extensive. Just the aroma of the products as you walk in the door is enough to bring out your adventurous spirit and sample meats you may have never tried before. My search for local suppliers has revealed some gems in Daylesford, Castlemaine and Ballarat. Supermarkets are generally boring. My task in life is to make your supermarket experience a whole lot better. The Blake Family Grocer's wonderful staff are my greatest support. We are fortunate to be one of Oakwood's only retailers. OK. Cheese Kranskys. I'll keep it brief: I usually cook them on an open flamed barbecue, but forgive me for cooking them inside on the stove. I used a ribbed cast iron pan so the authentic stripes formed on each sausage. It is of course appropriate that given the weather, this is the type of food that would ordinarily be consumed be on a wintery European day with snow building on the window sills and a chilly arctic breeze forcing its way under the door. So my review is exactly that. Once you bite into these beauties, the flavour, whilst I have never been there, makes you feel as though you are in a German Village in the Black Forest. Quite a unique experience indeed. Close your eyes and sip another schnapps! If you have a pair of lederhosen, wear them. Stay well and don't forget to subscribe to the Maxi Foods to view my range of product reviews and recipes to enjoy. Kind regards, Brendan Blake

18.01.2022 Hi Daylesford (and Hepburn Springs and Woodend ...) Now that the BFG is up and running, it's time to talk about what to do with our range of delicacies. Bull Horn Peppers... They only look like bull horns. They are genuine vegetables! Place them straight onto a high naked flame on the stove or barbecue. Using tongs, turn them over every couple of minutes. They will blister and then turn black. Once they are black remove them from the flame, place them on a board and remove the charred skin with a butter knife. The skin will peel or scrape off easily. You can add salt and pepper or olive oil, but without any other additions, they are good to go as they are.
