We're going along to try and find more things to do with the food we grow, especially the lemon myrtle, and also to find other things to grow that we can use in the kitchen.
Thought other members may be interested. Wish we lived in NQ for some of the events they are having up there...
. I like to plant aromatics in the garden and I've tried quite a few. The lemons and lime tastes (leaves) go very nicely with fish baked in foil. Fish, actually is a very good medium to try things out on as it has such a delicate flavour.
