25.01.2022 Endive also known as curly endive or frisée is a member of the chickory family. The outer dark green leaves have a deliciously bitter edge to them, while the inner yellow leaves have a slight sweetness to them. Endive can be used in a salad , sandwiches or added to soups. This is one of our favourite ways to eat and enjoy endive: Endive salad : ... Endive leaves drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, balsamic glaze, salt, and chopped blood orange! Simple, mouth watering goodness! Delicious and nutritious... Vitamins A, C , K and folate. For me Endive evokes heartfelt memories of my nonna . Whenever she would prepare endive, whether it was to add it to her nourishing chicken brodo , or a salad, she would always save the sweet yellow heart of the endive for me , as she knew that was my favourite part . The taste, smell, and texture of food can be extraordinarily evocative, bringing back memories of all types. Food for thought! In the mean time... enjoy this endive salad. #emeraldfruitbarn #endive #curlyendive #frisee #supportlocal #salad #shoplocal #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocalbusiness #supportlocalfarmers #supportaussiefarmers #delicious #nutritious #fruitandveggies #fruitandveggiefoodies

24.01.2022 Happy International Men’s Day...Thursday 19th November 2020. Happy International Men’s day to all the amazing male figures and influences in my life who bless me everyday. Beginning with my husband Aldo, who makes me laugh every day; my son - thank you for always answering my calls ; my cousins, my uncles and friends. You are loved, thought of and respected every day. ... The Theme this year is Better Heath for Men & Boys. International Men’s Day seeks to address many different issues surrounding mens mental health. This is supported by men, women and organisations in over 60 countries across the globe. Prevention is better than cure. Good health comes when mind, body and spirit are in total harmony. A healthy outside starts from the inside. Take care of your body. It is the only place you have to live! #emeraldfruitbarn #internationalmensday2020 #equalityforall #menshealth #loveyoualdo #loveyoujulz #fruitandveggieskeepyouhealthyandstrong

22.01.2022 & . This is a super easy mid week meal with big, bold and simple flavours! @basileimports and @pastalamolisana have a wholewheat pasta that pairs perfectly with pan fried Brussel Sprouts that are crispy on the outside but beautifully firm yet tender on the inside. This is essentially pasta aglio e olio (garlic & oil) with a little parsley, oregano, and Brussel Sprouts tossed through towards the end of cooking. Preparing the Bruss...el Sprouts is quite simple, rinse, cut the stems off, cut in half, heat the oil in a pan on a medium heat, and cook 5 mins a side giving it an amazing caramelisation. If you don’t like Brussel Sprouts, you will now. Toss through a little fresh chilli for a little kick!
