Seasonal writing from Tasmania’s far south
Apples & Elderflower is my journal of seasonal life in Tasmania’s Huon Valley – stories from the kitchen and garden, recipes, places, books and the small things worth noticing as the year turns.
I publish regular seasonal essays and recipes, along with a monthly Almanac for paid subscribers.
A glimpse inside the journal
Seasons
The herbs that prefer winter
Even in the depths of winter, when much of the garden has retreated underground, the herb patch rewards close attention.
Kitchen
Come for a cup of tea, I’ll make madeleines
A fascination with madeleines, a first attempt that wasn’t quite what I thought it was, and the please of getting them right.
Notebook
The road to Lake Pedder
A damp boardwalk, tiny fungi, towering eucalypts and a few days spent looking closely at Tasmania’s extraordinary landscape.
The Monthly Almanac
Paid readers of Apples & Elderflower can enjoy The Monthly Almanac, a curated collection of recipes, preserving projects, garden notes, reflections and stories inspired by the time of year – something to be savoured slowly, like a favourite magazine.
