Curds & Whey eNews
Spring September 2010
WELCOME … from Rebekah
Hi all,
With spring on our door step, I sit here with my
mother and my maternal Grandmother drinking a cup of tea (we have
stopped to smell the flowers, so to speak!). We should be cracking a
bottle of fizz to celebrate the team’s success at the South Australian
Dairy Awards 2010 (read about the Champion Farmhouse Cheese award
below!).
My maternal Grandmother often quotes different
little sayings, and I wanted to record the one she often recites,
“Spring is sprung , the grass is ris. I wonder
where the birdies is !”
We think it is an old poem which is often
attributed to poet Cummings or even by poet Nash, but it is anonymously
penned. We think it is known as "Spring in the Bronx". My maternal
Great Grandmother’s always recited this poem to her daughters and she
was born in 1902 in Kent, England, and we think her mother taught it to
her. We like to hear Nan say it because it rings a cord with our
ancestry and lets us know that spring is on the way. It also
encompasses our delight in the seasonal changes, and the onset of
spring calving of the jersey cows!
With that, enjoy this bumper edition of our eNews
– Curds & Whey – Spring 2010, and enjoy eating Alexandrina Cheese!
Because, we love making it and presenting our products to the market
place.
Lastly, for another verse to add to your
collection …
Spring has sprung, the grass has ris’,
I wonder where the birdie is?
There he is up in the sky,
He dropped some whitewash in my eye!!
I‘m alright, I won’t cry,
I’m just glad that jersey cows can’t fly!
~ Author Unknown ~
Spring has sprung, so hop out and dance in the
sunshine!
With a cheesey grin, Rebekah
McCaul

Guest
Chef of the Season
|
As a food consultant and
stylist, Chris Stephan is an important advocate for South Australia’s
food and hospitality industry. Chris is a member of the Australian
Culinary Federation. Her business, Pen & Palate, works with a
diverse range of international and local clients to promote products,
plan menus, develop recipes and style food. Chris is driven by a
passion for local produce. Chris Stephan can be contacted via
email cstephan@adam.com.au.
Chris has kindly agreed to be our Guest
Chef for Spring, and has shared her wisdom in the following interview
with Rebekah McCaul, Marketing Manager of Alexandrina Cheese.
Please tell us about your best recent South
Australian regional dining experience? Because of the nature of my work
I am very fortunate to eat at many different restaurants around the
state. These vary from well established to new restaurants just feeling
their way in this competitive market. One of my most memorable
experiences are having freshly cooked King George whiting in the park
at Normanville with family on a rug, overlooking the pristine coast
line, how lucky are we to live in such a beautiful place in the world.
Please tell us about your must buy Alexandrina
Cheese ingredient? Oh, I have a few must buys, but the first on the
list is a bag of Fresh Cheddar Curds to nibble on the way home then it
is the beautiful Pure Jersey Cream and Creme Fraiche.
Please tell us about another Dairy
Product you can’t live without? Feta, There are many
applications for feta, it is a great stand-by to have on hand, the
Marinated Fetas are a great addition to the store cupboard.
Please tell us about a time you had to
cook a meal for your family in 30 minutes? Sometimes I think
this is the case most days, many home makers now juggle a busy
work/life schedule so often meals are pulled together in a short space
of time. Everyone has a recipe repertoire that is called on for these
occasions, it could be the favourite stir fry, a warm chicken salad,
the family pasta dish. This is where I like to have some store
cupboard/freezer items that can be drawn on, a good bolognese sauce in
the freezer, tinned tomatoes and beans in the pantry, frozen home made
stock for a risotto.
Please tell us about your favourite
producer (other than Alexandrina Cheese!)? We are now seeing
an emergence of South Australian cheese makers, I do enjoy eating and
cooking with goats cheese whether it be soft or matured.
Please tell us if you could dress any
way you want, what would you wear in the kitchen? The chefs
uniform has been designed over the years to accommodate safety, changes
in temperature and hygiene, however when not in the professional
kitchen, on most occasions you would find me in the kitchen in
comfortable casual wear with an apron on and a tea towel tucked in and
a good sharp cook's knife in hand.
Please tell us about your biggest
mistake when you were an apprentice chef? Using powder
gelatin and combining the mixture into a cold mixture - disaster
looming!!
Please tell us with all the focus on
‘Masterchef’, who is your favourite judge & why? I love
the intense palate of Matt Preston; the humble nature of Margaret
Fulton, the professional expertise of Matt Moran.
Please tell us about your last supper? I
desperately hope that I never will know which supper is my last supper
so every meal should be a place of sharing the love, for the food and
the people that you are with. I love all things food accompanied by
South Australian wine. Food does not need to be complicated, but by
using the best quality produce that one can afford, prepared to
showcase the ingredients flavour profile, enjoyment can be found in
something as simple as a freshly picked tree-ripened apricot to a
culinary master piece of molecular gastronomy!
We hope you have enjoyed reading all about
Chris Stephans our Guest Chef of the Season. Thanks Chris for sharing
your passion, you definitely “approach love and cooking with
reckless abandon” (quote from Dalai Lama).

World
Cittaslow Day Sept 26 2010
CITTASLOW
SUNDAY
AUSTRALIA
- Goolwa
"World Cittaslow Day - Goolwa"
Sunday 26 September 2010
Signal Point, Goolwa Wharf
Hours: 10am – 4pm
Main theme:
Launch of new Cittaslow Centre in Goolwa
Brief description of activities:
A series of activities and displays
showcasing Cittaslow in Action in Goolwa. Local food and wine produce,
children’s activities, music and entertainment in the newly developed
Signal Point building at Goolwa Wharf. Launch of Cittaslow Centre to
promote Cittaslow in the Alexandrina Council region.
Info and Contacts: Lyn Clark
president@cittaslowgoolwa.com.au
| www.cittaslowgoolwa.com.au

1st International Day
of good slow living
Cittaslow International organizes an international event
to promote universal of the "concepts" as well as "projects" which
represent the reality and the idea of being Cittaslow. President, Gian
Luca Marconi establishes the first world Cittaslow Day to talk and let
people know about us. During this day, to be repeated every year, all
Cittaslows can propose and organize one or more own local initiative in
order to promote and disseminate the concepts for a collective action.
We have to respect and love the Earth, our "Mother
Earth", as Carlo Petrini asserts, and this is possible if everyone
realizes the Cittaslow projects, day by day, all of us, mayor of
Cittaslow towns, citizens and guest travellers, entrepreneurs and
policy makers – by carrying one’s contribution to make a "cleaner,
better, fairer" world. The issues are the same as Cittaslow:
environmental policies(energy, transport – bicycle and pedibus – ,
climate change, use and defence of the soil, valorisation of the
landscape, biodiversity, etc.); social politics (inclusion, social
responsibility, education, identity, etc.), the agriculture and the
local production (Co-production, Terra Madre, Presidi Slow Food,
Mercati della Terra, Comunità del Cibo, ecc. ), sustainable tourism,
citizens’ awareness to be a positive counter-culture, even more
necessary nowadays, when the system crisis interweave the 3 Fs
(fuel-food-finance) with another crisis(relations, value and
perspectives of well being), damaging the life of the future
generations. "Slow future" is our perspective for the mayors, the
citizens and the partners of the 130 associated Cittaslow, scattered in
20 different countries. "Slow Future" is the proposal for a "positive
contamination" regarding the little Cittaslow, the big metropolis and
the entire society, with positive effects on the overall ecologic
imprint of the world human activities.
Commitments: The events are totally
organized and financed at local level but receive the good support by
Cittaslow international means. (web portal, blog, International press
agency, papers, graphic designs, etc.). cultural exchanges among
different people, social inclusion and solidarity projects, conferences
with scientist and experts operating in some sectors concerning the
Cittaslow action.
The plus: Cittaslow International will
make available one logo of the manifestation in order to promote the
Cittaslow SunDay, consisting in a technical code to realize banners,
flags, posters, brochures, balls, notebooks and other promotional
gadgets. There will be some web pages to follow the event – before,
during after – with photo gallery, video clips, interviews, etc., by
using all the available social networks too.

Recipe
of the Season

Chickpea
couscous salad,
with Encounter Bay Edam
This zesty, easy to make salad recipe combines chick
peas, dried fruit, thyme and couscous with Encounter Bay Edam cheese on
a bed of watercress.
Rebekah writes; Spring is here, we have all had our fair
share of winter root vegetables (thank goodness Spring is here!). Also
summer barbeque season is so close, we can almost touch the sunshine.
For the month of September, our challenge to you, is to include raw
salad into your menu as much as possible, including making this
Chickpea couscous salad recipe. We of course, would love to hear from
you with other salad, made with Alexandrina Cheese. We would happily
feature these in the next edition. Simply email the recipe to info@alexandrinacheese.com.au.
This recipe serves four.
Ingredients
- 1 can of organic chickpeas, drained
- 200 gm mixed dried fruit, coarsely chopped (apricots and
golden raisins)
- 2 large cloves of Australian garlic, crushed
- 4 tbsp. lime juice
- 4 sprigs freshly picked thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 400 gm precooked tender couscous, drained
- 200gm Encounter Bay Edam cheese, cubed
- 1 bunch watercress, shredded
- 1 tbsp. sunflower oil
- 1 tbsp. lime juice
- 8 red lettuce leaves
Method
Combine watercress, sunflower oil, lime juice and red
lettuce leaves. Arrange red lettuce salad on a salad platter. Combine
chickpeas, dried fruit, elephant garlic, lime juice, thyme, salt,
cayenne pepper, couscous and Encounter Bay Edam cheese cubes. Mix well.
