Hi Everyone,
Two new products from The Company Farm are our 3 Citrus Marmalade and Preserved Lemons made from produce from the farm. Response to date has been so positive and we are now distributing into the local market and through retail and wholesale further afield. I am biased but highly recommend you try. We always welcome feedback.
Brian Oldfield - Australian Psychic of the Year 2007 and Barry Auchetti - Creator of "Conversations" Board Game, are too very intuitive, compassionate guys who conducted the Discovery Workshop - which certainly opened people spiritually and emotionally in a very down to earth manner and helped to move forward. They will be back early 2009.
Kurma Dasa's classes were a huge success and he is booked to return mid-November so watch this space!! Also Diana Thomson who conducted two amazing seafood classes in July is booked to return. Her knowledge as a chef and especially with the seafood was absorbed by all and I would highly recommend attending when she is here.
We have also had the pleasure of conducting a number of private classes and these had provided knowledge, good food and good company and many laughs for those who were here. Why not get a group of friends, family or work colleagues together and enjoy four hours of fun, good food and company.
See Calendar for dates and times of this and upcoming months.
Our members enjoy early notification of chefs and classes, 10% discount on any class they attend during the membership year. Twice a year there is a membership lunch with a nominal charge per person to cover overheads and to say thankyou for your patronage during the year.

 We also now using All-Clad cookware in all of our classes. This range was originally all hand-crafted, and even today not one piece leaves their factory without being inspected by hand. They look fabulous and are wonderful to cook with as they heat more quickly and distribute the heat so evenly which then reduces the cooking time and hence your energy bill by one-third! At the classes you actually get to use some of the All-Clad range, including saucepans, fry pans, dutch ovens, casserole and the fabulous Tagine, to list just a few of the items in the range . The All-Clad range is available for purchase through Cooking with Company.
KASUMI KNIVES are used in all our classes and can be purchased through Cooking with Company.
The traditional technique of swordmaking is used to produce the Kasumi knives which explains their excellent
cutting ability and hardness. Good quality, sharp knives are essential in the kitchen.
What is AQUA MAGIC? Wonder Water, the ideal cleaner! AQUA MAGIC is special water that works in a similar way to conventional cleaners, however it contains no active ingredients such as surfactants, synthetic chemicals, fruit oils or alcohol. It is an entirely new type of cleaner that is produced by subjecting PURE WATER to the process of ELECTROLYSIS, which polarises electron ions, which removes dirt by activating the power of water itself! Is it safe to you and is it safe to the environment? Yes, Aqua Magic consists of 99.7% Pure Water and the remaining 0.3% is potassium carbonate. It has no colour or smell, does not cause irritation, will not damage your skin and does not leave sticky residue or create bubbles. Wiping off and rinsing is easy which in turn helps Conserve Water. It will not harm you if you taste it and is ideal for baby's toys and food preparation as it is FOOD SAFE!
It's always great to buy good quality fresh produce.
Some of the Early Spring Fruits - Apples, Cumquat, Custard Apple, Grapefruit, Lemon, Mandarin (Murcott & Ellendale), Oranges, Papaya, PawPaw, Pineapple (smooth leaf), Tangelo.
Vegetables - Artichoke, Asian Greens, Asparagus, Avocado, Beans, Broccoli, Cabbage, Carrot, Cauliflower, Garlic, Ginger, Leek, Lettuce, Mushroom (morel), Onions (salad, spring), Peas, Pumpkin, Silverbeet, Spinach.
Tip: When stir-frying beef or lamb, it is best to brown the meat in a hot pan as a whole piece then finish cooking in preheated oven. Once the meat has rested, then sliced, add it at the end of the stir-fry. This keeps the meat tender and pink, not tough.
Keep on Cooking! Until next month...
