Nutty over Atherton Oaks at Oak Grove
Margo . - Monday, January 23, 2012
This year at Oak Grove has been a huge season for our
native nut tree which is called the Atherton Oak.
The beautiful blue fruit is the covering for the nut kernel
which is like a cross between an almond and a macadamia nut.
We will be experimenting with these delicious nuts in the cooking school.
Middle Eastern Fusion
Margo . - Monday, January 16, 2012
Rainforest Bounty Jeowbong and Jus were beautifully fused
with traditional Middle Eastern recipes at the recent
cooking school. The Jus enhances other citrus such as
limes, lemons and oranges to create intense flavours which
tantalise the palate. The Jeowbong (roasted chilli paste) lifts
the spice blends and adds a hint of heat to the dish.
Next cooking school in February is Indonesian.

The 2012 Bounty
Margo . - Thursday, January 12, 2012
The result of a great season of fruit and an exciting day with Stu Frost shooting food images for our upcoming launch of the 'new look' Rainforest Bounty brand ...!
In the image are rainforest tamarinds (orange ones at the front), rainforest berries (red bell shaped berries front right and left side). The dark blue/black plums are our rainforest plums and the beautiful white flower spikes of the beginings of the 2012 crop of lemon aspen. In front of the bowl we have fingerlimes and some Herbert River cherries.
Doesnt it just make you want to smile ....?
Stay tuned to learn when we will launch the new look labels and two new products :)
