You’ll find a wide variety of marinated feta cheese in your local supermarket or gourmet deli. However I really enjoy marinating feta with my own flavours. Often I’ll do flavour combinations like Alpine Pepper or lemon Myrtle sprinkle with Macadamia nut oil or Mintbush marinade and vegetable oil which, incidentally, was developed just for this […]

250ml meat stock100ml red wine15g wattleseed™ Combine all the ingredients and bring to the boil. Simmer and reduce to thicken. Strain out the wattle grounds and freeze for other applications eg. as a crumb or mixed into breadcrumbs over meats or vegetables prior to stir-frying, deep frying or pan-frying. Finish the sauce with cold butter and serve immediately.

This method is the same for native aniseed myrtle, native thyme or Alpine pepper and their applications are also identical. Pepperberries can also be used for butter sauces although the burgundy colour of the berries is better presented in a white or cream sauce or simply added as a garnish on their own, in combination […]

Cream enhances the coffee, chocolate and hazelnut taste of Cherikoff Wattleseed™ and is best unsweetened since sugar tends to over-power the flavour of Wattleseed™. Besides, the desserts that Wattleseed™ cream garnishes are usually sufficiently sweet. In addition, another use of unsweetened Wattleseed™ cream is to thicken and flavour savoury sauces, particularly mushroom but anywhere you need […]
