I LOVE eating salmon - but my fondest memory of salmon this year was not eating it, but making leather out of it!

Seated outdoors in a group of fishers and hunters and road kill foragers, I learned about skinning, cleaning, and tanning leather from various small animals - wallabies, rabbits, even fish - a little confronting for some of us, but fascinating and educational.

I was there for the salmon leather component and I wasn’t disappointed.
My finished piece of leather is soft and pliable and now waiting time and inspo to decide what to create with it.

I don’t fish, so this piece is a one off, and I want to do it respectfully and creatively.

Suggestions welcome…

I believe it’s important to utilise all the parts of an animal for food or apparel, not just the popular or on trend parts and support those who do farm and produce this way - with less wastage.

If you’re vegetarian or vegan, I respect your choice to be.

The end goal is to find - and support - local producers and growers, and on the Coffs Coast we are lucky to have passionate small scale farmers and producers.

Beautiful Gumbaynggirr country I’m privileged to live, work, and play on.

So much Nature around us and so many local places to visit - from beaches, to forests, to beats and cocktails at sunset.

You’d be surprised what’s on offer - IYKYK ☺️

Isn’t it beautiful? My oh my Makrut lime trees 🍋‍🟩 produce amazing fruit with fragrant zest and leaves.

Beautiful flavours for fish 🐟 or to make a Thai style green curry from scratch.

Nature produces so many incredible things to eat.

Especially from the citrus family.

I recently planted a blood orange 🍊 tree which has one orange on it. I should pick it off and let the tree send its energies to branches but I just couldn’t 😝 wait another year.

Are you growing citrus at home?

Best present ever … living where I live on Gumbaynggirr country and sharing it with family, friends, and tour guests.

This is one of my favourite trees - bark textured like animal hair, and a witness to decades of history.

A giant and soul affirming tree.
And one I point out when hosting art classes in the Botanic Gardens.

Tours resume Feb 2025.

BIG UP to my friend Maria Bell who suggested fish cooked in galangal, Makrut lime leaves, and garlic - wrapped in turmeric leaves and cooked in foil. We had most of these growing - except for fish and garlic 🧄 😂

The snapper cutlets tasted fantastic!
Thanks Maria.

We had hoped to spend Appreciation Day/Xmas Day IN our new home but it’s a long way from being finished - so we brought a gas camping cooker and had our BBQ amid the building debris!

However you celebrate I hope your day is delicious 😊

My homegrown blueberries 🫐 in a starring role.

Wish I could say this was homegrown passionfruit but our vine is being argumentative 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I persist.

Maybe next year homegrown bananas 🍌🤔

I hope you’re enjoying your Saturday and not sitting in Xmas shopping traffic.

On another note, I’m so happy that oyster 🦪 growers are finally having a great season after so many environmental disasters affecting their industry.

(Trivia post) Here’s the thing… I’m out watering my coffee plant and the rest, and the two doves in the neighbour’s trees high above are calling to each other: “Risotto“

I do not tell a lie, and wine or artificial substances were in no way involved!

I’m also sure earlier they were calling out “rockmelon”!

If you ever wondered about bird language….
Well at least in my garden.

So here we are, moments into a 5 hour commitment that is Moroccan Goat Stew (curry) one of my fave meals ever.

Also one of those meals that no matter how organized I am, the total cook and prep time all-ways drags out by an hour 🤷🏻‍♀️ in some way due to me.

I’ve adapted the original recipe to make it less fuss and retain all the spices and fibre instead of straining them out.

Have you cooked Goat before? What style?

Coffs Coast is teaming with creative talent, and the desire to buy (and support) so many local artists.

💯 love these artworks by whose dramatic graphic designs for Aus Music 🎶 Month are totally fabulous.
Plus conscious stickers for a win!

And hello... that calligraphy 😻

Check out this local artist on instagram 👏
A nice human doing lotsa cool things.

BITE FOOD TOURS is an Australian, independently owned food tours business run by a passionate foodie and tour guide – me!

I created my food tour business in Sydney (Sydney Bites) in 2018 because food and a shared table is a great way to connect people, taste new flavours, and experience other communities through their food.

I still offer customized on-demand private tours in Sydney, but BITE Food Tours is now on the Mid North Coast of NSW - the Coffs Coast.

Want a city a escape? My food tours now showcase the unique beauty, produce, and lifestyle around the Coffs Harbour region. It’s a slice of paradise.
