Harvest Day: Autumn Festival

Naturaliste Sanctuary Gate 3 Chain Avenue, ANNIEBROOK, WA, Australia

It’s autumn in the Harvest Garden, the season of crisp evenings, falling leaves and preparing the garden for winter - but no throwing in the trowel for us. Autumn in the Harvest Garden is about beginnings; the time for delicious root vegetables, eccentric striped beetroots, idiosyncratic carrots, off-centre broccoli and outlandish cauliflower. There is endless […]

How to Cut and Serve Every Cheese

The Conservatory Naturaliste Estate, Gate A Caves Road,, ANNIEBROOK, WA, Australia

We'd love to live permanently in a cheese cave, because cheese, in all its salty, fatty majesty, could well be the king of foods.  We have all at some point found ourselves standing in front of a dimly lit fromage room with its bewildering array of European, American (mostly Vermont and Wisconsin) and local cheese, […]

Cheese and Wine Masterclass

The Conservatory Naturaliste Estate, Gate A Caves Road,, ANNIEBROOK, WA, Australia

That primal screaming you hear across Geographe Bay from time-to-time, manifests from a charcuterie purist seeing grazing boards - a crazed extravaganza of sauces, dips, dried fruits, olives, sugared almonds, chocolates, meats and maybe even a Lego set - being described as charcuterie boards. There is terrible faux-artisan charcuterie out there, an unedifying jumbled chaos […]

Harvest Day: We’re Back

Naturaliste Sanctuary Gate 3 Chain Avenue, ANNIEBROOK, WA, Australia

Though spring can be chilly on the Naturaliste Cape, the return of the bright and gently warming sun wakes dormant plants and seeds from their slumber, coaxes birds out to build their nests and beckons to the insects that sheltered through winter in undergrowth, nooks and crannies to emerge and flit about in the cool […]
