Hummus is a delicious Middle Eastern condiment or paste, served with pita breads, falafal, grilled meat and vegetables, and as a dip.

HERE’S HOW TO MAKE IT
2 cans of chickpeas (also called Garbanzo Beans) or 2 cups dried, soaked overnight then cooked in fresh boiling water for about 2 hours until soft (skimming off the foam)
1 T sea salt (use less if you’re using canned chickpeas as they already are salted)
3 garlic cloves, crushed
3/4 cup tahini sesame seed paste
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 c  water
freshly ground pepper to taste
Process all ingredients until smooth, adding more water if it’s a bit stiff. Omit the tahini paste if you want.
You can also add roasted beetroot, peppers and peppadews, chopped roasted nuts, a dash of chilli, paprika and/or cumin powder for extra depth of flavour. Add a generous dollop of yoghurt to make a great sauce for grilled fish.
Serve in a bowl, garnished with parsley and a swirl of extra virgin olive oil
Refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 week and freeze for up to 3 months.

This cheese is a semi-hard, wash rind style cheese and is matured for a minimum of 6 months.
It is moulded into huge golden cartwheels and is hand made and uniquely crafted. It is medium full in flavour and has a sweet nutty flavour.
Huguenot tastes something like a rich cousin to Gruyère, medium-full in character with sweet, nutty overtones. Superb in any recipe which calls for a mature cheese, on any cheese board or just as it is.
Woolworths Huguenot is made by Dalewood.

Although it’s nature’s very own unrefined sweetener, honey is still considered a refined sugar as the sucrose is broken down into glucose and fructose while in the bee’s stomach.

It does contain some B vitamins, minerals and enzymes, but the latter are destroyed by heat so it is best drizzled over food rather than used in cooking or baking.

Hollandaise sauce is a classic French emulsion ands one of the five sauces in French haute cusine’s mother sauce repertoire.

It is so named because it was believed to have mimicked a Dutch sauce created when the King of the Netherlands visited France.

Hollandaise sauce is well known as a key ingredient of eggs Benedict, and is often paired with vegetables such as steamed asparagus.

It is prepared by emulsifying melted or clarified butter and water (in the form of an acidic reduction) with partially cooked egg yolks.

Melted whole butter produces a rich, creamy flavour but for a stiffer emulsion, clarified butter is preferred.

Now you know all this, learn how to make Hollandaise sauce to serve over poached eggs or asparagus.

TIP: Read up on the basics of French cooking and teach yourself to make a traditional jus from scratch.
