One of the highlights was our visit to Maggie Beers kitchen. Pictured here.
Maggie has a fantastic produce store where we bought a simple picnic lunch. Later, we attended a cooking demonstration in the kitchen (the same kitchen as tv show).
Our class was on verjuice.
I was fascinated. We now use verjuice regularly and buy large bottles. Verjuice is unfermented grape juice. The Romans were using it to enhance their dishes! A good example is to remove your roast veggies 15 mins early, splash with verjuice and finish cooking. Amazing!!
I really admire Maggie Beer's energy. She's amazing.

ReplyDeleteVerjuice sounds great. Is it sweet or sour?
ReplyDeleteLovely pics Chris, and I must get some Verjuice and give it a go, I love the painting. :)
ReplyDeleteVal has asked if verjuice is sweet or sour.
ReplyDeleteIt's is neither. I would say less acidic than using lemon and milder than wine in cooking. It s amazing how it enhances flavour. It makes a refreshing drink with soda in summer.
It keeps for ages. If you have it in the pantry and it darkens in colour it can still be used.
