Read MoreCitrus Season… save some of these little spheres of deliciousness and flavour for later!
With such an abundance of lemons now, why not put some juice aside for when they are gone-gone-gonsky! Yes, you can freeze as cubes but I experimented last season with a big batch of limes. Squeezed, strained and put into clean bottles the juice kept for 5 months. I loved the convenience of zipping to the…
Read MoreCitrus season…. little golden balls of zesty flavour
We count ourselves very lucky to have very generous friends who are so happy to share the bounty of their home gardens. The Little Cellar Rat uses lemons and limes all year round and oranges and mandarins when they are in season …. and that’s right now! A big THANK YOU TO our generous friend…

When it’s crisp and chilly outside, that means hearty warming dishes suited to big bowls, soup spoons and chunky bread. Time to get up close and chatty with your local butcher and ask his advice about anything with a bone in it. The cheeper cuts of meat just beg to be left to their own…

Read MoreWe’re back!
Have enjoyed staying on a previous occasion. Got the chance to come back again. Thoroughly enjoyed it all over again: timber floors, hand crafted furniture, breakfast on the verandah, all the elements of a lovely chance to r-e-l-a-x. The complimentary port was the finishing touch! Scott and Lilliana March 2018
Read MoreHeaven is a loved one and books to savour!
We all lead such busy lives and the chance to disregard the time, sleep when you want, talk and read and laze about with a bottle of wine and a good read. A Queenslander verandah with a view to green hills and fat cattle grazing, the occasional birdsong and perfume from the lush garden ……
