21.01.2022 Hello Everyone. We are excited to be on the ABC news tonight at 7pm talking about the Make Yourself at Home vouchers and a little about our business.

21.01.2022 Gift Certificates for Christmas. If you have a hard to buy for friend or family member who loves to cook then why not a gift certificate for one of our classes. Go to our booking page and follow the prompts. https://www.thefarmhousekitchen-tas.com/booking

20.01.2022 Corona Virus Pandemic: Due to the current crisis and the Governments rules on social distancing and non-essential travel we are cancelling our existing scheduled cooking classes for the months of April 2020 and May 2020 and we will reschedule those at a later date. We will be contacting all of those people who are booked into classes in those months. We will review the situation for the classes scheduled for June 2020 and July 2020 as soon as more Government announcements h...ave been made and we will be letting you know how things will proceed. We are unable to offer guests a refund for the cancelled classes as this will put the future of our small family business into jeopardy. However, all funds will be held in credit indefinitely to ensure that guests can rebook once it is safe for us to reschedule the cancelled classes. We hope that you understand that we are not in a position at this time to issue refunds and we hope that you are happy to ride the wave with us all and meet at the end to celebrate a new beginning. We also wish to advise that we shall honour all of the gift certificates that have been impacted on by the pandemic once we are able to reopen. Our usual policy of no refund on gift certificates applies however they are transferrable. I wish to thank you for your understanding and support during these difficult times and Genevieve and I look forward to seeing you when it comes time to open our doors again. Stay safe and stay home.

20.01.2022 Please support your local businesses where possible.

18.01.2022 Meatlovers Masterclass 30th January 2021 Only two spaces left. In the south of Italy where historically people were poor, meat was for special occasions. The result was that when it came to cooking meat they made sure that the flavours and techniques were unforgettable. If you want to learn how to make the perfect rolled pork belly, tender osso buco with polenta, cotolette, chicken, stuffed zucchini and more than this is the class for you. Let me dispel a few myths around the cooking of meat and enjoy a feast afterwards. Of course, there will be dessert. To book please follow the link. https://www.thefarmhousekitchen-tas.com/booking

15.01.2022 Genevieve REALLY loves Nutella, so for her birthday yesterday, I made her a Nutella cheesecake. I had made one in the past a few years back and found it to be really sweet so I reinvented the whole cake again and this time I think I managed to get it right. The middle was silky smooth and creamy and not overly sweet. I topped it with a thin layer of melted dark chocolate and a glaze made from Frangelico which is a hazelnut liqueur. I finished it off with roasted hazelnuts from our trees and some Chilean Guava that are ripe in the garden at the moment. I love making up recipes and I really am happy with how this one turned out. Sorry folks, I wont be sharing this recipe but I will share the pictures.

14.01.2022 My mum was fabulous showing off her skills in our Nonna weekend. She is the 92-year-old matriarch of both sides of her family and is such an inspiration to us all. We loved having her on the farm. Keep an eye out for the next Nonna class. Brava la Nonna!!!!

I hope you enjoy the pictures. We made stuffed squid, along with lots of other things and last week we also had squid cooked with red wine and delicious pasta called Strozzapreti. It was so fresh and really tasty.

03.01.2022 Hello Everyone, I thought I might share my take on a good Bolognese sauce. Obviously not from my region of Italy but it does taste great. As it is not from Puglia I wont be teaching this in my classes but I can teach you how to make fabulous home-made tagliatelle to go with it. It is just a matter of holding on until this virus clears up and we can get together again. In the meantime try this at home. Let me know what you think......

02.01.2022 Anyone interested in this fabulous cheese. Go and visit Don and Julie at Passione Foods in Moonah. While you are there check out the other great things they sell.

02.01.2022 Support your locals.

02.01.2022 After many attempts at making bread and using various brands of gluten-free flour with or without Xanthan gum and having very poor outcomes, I have finally come across a brand that works!!! I recently purchased some Caputo Gluten-free flour from Passione Foods in Moonah. It is made from Gluten-free wheat starch along with other ingredients. The bread was soft and remained soft, it rose well with little yeast and did not taste of rice!! I used it to make gnocchi the following day and it was brilliant. You could not taste the difference between the gluten-free and the flour ones. So happy to find a product that works. Perhaps I can run some gluten-free classes next year...........

02.01.2022 These beautiful hands belong to my 92 year old mum. She has hands of gold because everything she touches tastes amazing.

02.01.2022 Come along to the farm in January and join our classes for 2021.

02.01.2022 We had a great day yesterday making gnocchi. What a fun group!! Take a look at the photos.

01.01.2022 Come along to our classes in November. A good opportunity to use your gift certificates as the classes are filling up quickly. Open the newsletter below to see what is available. Treat yourselves to a fun day on the farm.
