September, 2022
Welcome to the September edition of bare ingredients
It is the very beginning of Spring in New Zealand and Australia. Of course you may be forgiven to think that we are still in the depths of winter, so Sarah has brought us some light dishes along with those dishes that warm your very soul.
For those in the Northern Hemisphere, summer is all but over and the harvest means it is the time of plenty. Given the excessive fuel costs, it is the best time to start saving money by visiting the numerous Farmers Markets that are on. You can save a lot of money compared to buying all you food from the Supermarket chains. Again, Sarah has come up with a list that should cater for those rarer warn days and the cooler ones.
With less spending power, we are all eating out less at expensive restaurants. So let's make fantastic dishes to enjoy at home. Not only will you impress your guests, but you will soon discover how inexpensive they are to make.
