Tea Time Tuesday #4: Green Ginger & my recipe in a cookbook alongside Maggie Beer

June 18, 2013 By JJ 5 Comments

Yep, you read right my recipe alongside Maggie Beer, imagine that. If you’ve been around these parts for a while you’ll remember back when my Pear, Goat Cheese & Caramelised Onion Jam Sandwich won the ‘What can you pair with a pear’ recipe competition.

Well that very recipe is now rubbing shoulders with creations from Australian chefs such as Vincent Gadan, Justin North, David Bitton and the aforementioned Maggie Beer, in a new cookbook from Australian Pears.

Rediscover Australian Pears is chock full of more than 60 recipes that showcase how pears can be used for everything from breakfast to dinner to dessert. Also included is Bulgogi Style Beef with Pears from my bloggy friend Shez.

“Being a pear grower myself, it’s no secret that I have a fondness for this delightful fruit. The cookbook is a great way for home cooks to understand how pears can work well in both sweet and savoury dishes and which kind of pear is suited to which dish,” says cook and food powerhouse personality Maggie Beer.

The book is available from newsagents for $17.95 but right now Australian Pears is giving away one copy a day until July 3.

Ok, on to the tea part of this installment of Tea Time Tuesday…

Tazo Green Ginger, a creamy, spicy blend with green tea, ginger, lemongrass and a touch of pear – how’s that for a tie-in.

A cup of this tea takes me straight to the Upper East Side streets of NYC, as I discovered it when we were living there. No matter the time of year or outside temperature I would get a huge cup from Starbucks and take a moment to breathe in the fragrant steam.

The coffee giant no longer carries this flavour but I can get it in a few grocery stores around the city, and I always pick up a box each time we visit. It gets treated like gold and pulled out only when simply nothing else will do. It calms my head and soothes my soul, kind of like NY…

Cup check: Mini pint glass [so not a pint, obviously, but the same shape] picked up in a homewares store in the main street of Bowral.

Tell me, what’s in your cup?

    Congrats on the published recipe. I love pears and will look out for the book. Must try the sandwich with my next loaf of no knead bread. The first one was gone before it could get to be toasted!

    Wow, put that on my Christmas list. And we have what looks like a huge crop of pears this year, after last year’s frost at blossom wiped out the whole crop. I could do a seasonal Sunday lunch featuring pears!!

I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption and everything. And I intended to post it that day as a reflection moving into a new year. But instead, mom and I went out for pizza and wine, and then it was Jan 2, and so on and so on. 
🌀
So instead you’re getting it on Feb 1. A new day and another new month (but what is a new month or a new year, other than a societal convention really). 
☀️
Because, each day, each sunrise, we have the opportunity to start anew - no matter how big or little that start may be. A chance to take another step forward - no matter how many steps back you feel you’re fighting against. 
🌀
Whether this past year brought blinding joy or paralysing grief (and in whatever measure of balance or imbalance), I hope each new day sees the landscape of your life look one step closer to what you imagine it to be. And that when the waves roll in and change that landscape, you can roll with it and see the beauty and possibility on the other side.
🌊
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations, have a cookie 🍪 And I’ll leave you with the rolling waves and blue sky of a California beach in January. I truly hope this year sees us all grow stronger and move forward with each new day. Going backwards is simply not an option.

When the middle little insisted on buying quail eggs over Christmas, but due to allll the other food we never cooked them, I simply couldn’t let the little guys go to waste. 
🥚
Could I have made one dish? Of course. Did I instead prepare quail eggs four ways, bake mini loaves of brioche, make mini waffles, dig through the prop closet for the smallest dishes, and set up an entire table? Of course I did. 
💥
Swipe to the end for reference on the size of the eggs and loaf.

My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dou My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dough from a couple weeks ago and voiced by the middle little (who is about as different from her younger sister as you can get!) 💥.
🍕
Sometimes this combo gets prawns too 🍤. Most of the time I don’t bother mixing the ingredients in a bowl and just layer them on top. The cheese is a hard goat cheese (because I can’t do 🐄). The ‘spices’ 🌱 is Sicilian oregano. The measurements are random at best - a handful of this, a splash of that. 
🍕
If you have a fave veggie or seafood pizza combo I’d love to hear it. Because as Ms.S says, voila, yummy yummy pizza!
