In my kitchen are . . .
some tamarillos generously given to me by a friend to play with. More of them another time.
In my kitchen are. . .
these pieces of family memorabilia. They are commemorative plates of the Queen’s tour of Australia in 1954. I thought it was an appropriate time to give them a dust off!
In my kitchen are . . .
these ‘Jubilee’ eggs (Heston’s scotch eggs)! What a great achievement by the BW, too fiddly for me to attempt.
In my kitchen is . . .
a small jar of Australian saffron, grown by Capertee Valley Saffron near Mudgee, NSW. I found it at a local growers’ market. I am saving it for something special. Aren’t the colours incredible?
In my kitchen are . . .
these tea towels that I found at the back of my cupboard. I must have decided that they were too nice to use. Time to go in the tea towel drawer.
In my kitchen is . . .
this book by Charlotte Wood which I am enjoying reading. I love her simple, no fuss ideas. I am trying out her suggestion for pomegranate honey.
In my kitchen is . . .
a curry leaf plant, finally. I have been on the lookout for one for ages. It will be staying in a pot as apparently they grow quite rampart. I first started using fresh curry leaves when I made Celia’s lemon rice. I am now hooked and use them whenever I can get fresh ones. Do you have a rampart curry leaf plant near you? Maybe we could start a curry leaf register so that people could have a fresh supply available, ha ha.
Check out Celia’s great recipes and many more posts for In my kitchen in June, at her blog here.

What a fun peak around your kitchen again. I have some old tea towels that sit in a drawer. Another blogger showed a pretty on just draped over the top of her cupboard door to display. I will do that with mine so I can enjoy them. The saffon – beautiful colors.
What a good idea for a tea towel. It is such a shame to keep them hidden.
Christine, thanks for sharing your kitchen with us, and for the linkies! I’m so glad you like the lemon rice! My mother has a curry plant at home that is actually now a tree and she periodically cuts me off a branch or two, which I dry in my kitchen. Last time she did that I ended up with three boxes of leaves, and I’m now down to my last one, so I must ask her for some more.
The tea towels are very funky, and the Scotch eggs are brilliant, but I especially love the royal memorabilia! How cool to have that in the family since 1954!
Hi Celia, going through old family stuff certainly results in interesting finds. There used to be a toy coronation coach and horses set in the family. I’m not sure what happened to that but it would have been fun to revisit for the jubilee.
The saffron is so pretty!
And I like the tea towels you”found”. I’m going to check out my drawers for some finds like those!
I know you treasure your tea towels as well Heidi. They hold lots of memories.
Hi Christine, I have a curry leave tree. I wouldn’t call them rampant. Mine is a small tree about 2 – 3 metres tall. I have grown it amongst my palms and it is very happy under them. I would plant it in the ground rather than leave it in the pot.
Thanks for the advice Glenda. I would be happy with it in the ground. It would be well trimmed.
Hi Christine, The saffron looks great. I’ll try to track some down as I’d love to try it. Nice blog post.
