Exactly half way through winter and the limes and lemons are prolific. We've waited a while for the lime tree to fruit and it has done so with gusto! I spotted this recipe on my FB feed today from Best Recipes - for a lemon and lime self saucing pudding. Sounds delicious. Doesn't use a great deal of the produce but it's another lemon and lime gone to a good cause!

In this blog I plan to add recipes based around seasonal crops in my garden, or sourced from the fresh food markets. I aim to use the principles of sourcing food within 100 miles of where I live (Adelaide, South Australia) and also to lessen the number of meat meals in a week, especially given the relationship of livestock methane emissions and global warming. I also hope to be mindful of the principles of the CSIRO diet. This blog relates to my garden blog, http://boycesgarden.blogspot.com
