Lately

Hello, I’m Sophie Hansen, a food writer and farmer. On our farm four hours west of Sydney, we raise deer according to holistic practices. This blog is a collection of recipes and resources for people who love supporting their farmers by sourcing, sharing and celebrating good seasonal and local food. Because it’s lovely!

Spending a day watching ye olde (and some fancy new) planes buzzing around a dusty airfield wouldn’t traditionally be up there with my fave things to do (baking and reading are two that spring to mind). But spending a day watching my two favourite fellows watching all of the above so happily is good with me. And actually it was pretty impressive. If you are anywhere near Temora NSW and have plane/air show lovers in your family, Warbirds Downunder is on all day tomorrow. #warbirdsdownunder2018

What a fabulous start to Orange Wine Week! Thank you @rosshillwines for such a great lunch in your winery yesterday 🥂. Wines were excellent of course and the menu by @lolliredinirestaurant just superb. So many great events coming up in the next fortnight, check out @orange360_allyearround for the full program. Feeling very lucky today to have all these clever producers and people right on our doorstep! #orangewinefestival #orange360

Anyone up for a picnic this weekend? Yep me too, and this kale and egg tart would love to come as well. ⁣ ⁣ To make, preheat your oven to 200C, line a tart shell or cake tin with shortcrust pastry (homemade or from the shops), crack in a few eggs (I used 6), add a handful of cooked ham (cut into strips), grate over lots of Parmesan or cheddar, drizzle with some cream, tuck in a couple of handfuls of kale leaves then season well, finish with another grate of cheese then into the oven until golden brown (about 20 mins).⁣ ⁣ Serve with some nice chutney and a nice park or paddock view. Have a lovely weekend everyone xxx
