Chicken, radishes and strawberries, not eaten together, but together as childhood memories.
Food memories are powerful things, they have the ability to transport you back in time.
As a child I recall visiting my Grandma’s home for a roast dinner. While waiting for dinner I was told to play inside. My brother & I played shop with Grandmas’ button collection. After a period of time I wandered outside and was confronted with the sight of a headless chook running around the yard! I did not connect the dots for a long time after – the menu for dinner and the chook…. My Grandma had a wonderful garden full of vegetables and fruit trees. She made jams, chutney, dried her own fruit and made a wide array of delights with fresh produce she had grown. I wish now I had spent more time in her garden and in her kitchen learning from her.
My Nan utilised the space beside the driveway of her home to grow a row of fruit and vegetables. The most memorable were the fiery hot radishes & the deliciously sweet strawberries.
My Grandma had a decent sized yard that was mostly utilised for producing food crops and my Nan used a very small space. Both created delicious treats and great childhood memories from using what they had available. You do not need to have alot of space to plant a variety of fresh salad, vegetables and herbs to use in your cooking. Coupled with in season, local produce you can made delicious fresh meals for your family and friends. I hope that you get some ideas from my posts and from following my activities in the garden and kitchen on the A Fresh Legacy Facebook page
In honor of Grandma’s headless chook this is my recipe for an easy, tasty, no mess roast chicken.
