TMX new Office in Melb is near the corner of Toorak Rd and Tooronga Rd. It is all very new, infact they seem to be still fitting our the Admin Part.
Andrew Fielke is producing a new range of product . His recipes and products are available on his web site.www.andrewfielke.com
Here are photos of some of what we ate. The dressing on the Salad was outstanding. The 2nd photo is of the Pearl barley Risotto which was a favorite with most. He also made Chocolate and peppermint Gum Lolli Pops, Prawn Bisque with Lemon Myrtle and Coconut Foam, orange, Mango and Lemon Myrtle Sorbet, Steamed fish with lemon Myrtle Chive Beurre Blanc and Strawberry Gum and Lemon Curd.

Wow Chookie what a treat to eat such lovely food.I like the sound of the salad dressing :)

Yes please Chookie.Can't find it on his website :-* :-*
OK, CC pretty simple.
110g Rice Vin
125g sugar
20g sesame oil
75mls Soy sauce
15g ginger
10g garlic
100mls sunflower oil
50g desert limes, or Finger Limes or rind and juice of 1 Tahatian Lime We had the Finger Limes and this was a WOW taste experience. So much so that DH drove all the way to Melb to get some today. They are squeezed from their case and are just like citrus caviar. They are very expensive $40 a Kilo, but you only need a couple. Work out at about 50 cents each.
Chop garlic and ginger , speed 7
Add rest and blend to an emulsion. If using Finger limes , don't add these until after blending. just fold them in.

Thanks Chookie.I have never heard of Finger Limes....probably rare as "Hen's Teeth" here in the UK but will lookout for them when I'm out and about. ;D

CC, don't think you will see them as they are native Australian and rare as hen teeth here. I will take a photo tomorrow, so you can see what they are like.

Hi ACW . . Have spent some time looking over AF's website . . really impressive! I couldn't see the recipe for the Orange, Mango and Lemon Myrtle Sorbet . .Is it possible you might you have it? :D :-* :-*
-
Wow chookie, it all looks amazing.
I have never heard of finger limes. Here in perth we can pay $40per kg for limes. Ripped off in the west.
I have a lime tree, no fruit, lemon tree no fruit & surprise kaffir lime tree no fruit.!!
Might even make a trip to Melb to do a cook one day. :)

Hi Chookie, went off to have a look at Andrew Fielke's site, ended up chasing recipes for Risotto Pearl Barley, now an hour later I'm back. I like the idea of using Pearl Barley for Risotto came across one called Meyer Lemon Risotto, that could be yummy will try it and if good will post it in a couple of days. Thanks. ps. that Andrew is quite nice to look at.. :-*
-
:D :D :D :D Glad you thought so AB, I was thinking the same thing myself - that doesn't happen very often :-))
-
Wondered if we had a barley risotto on the forum, yes we do - here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=89.0) it is.
-
Thanks JD saves me experimenting, I will add some Meyer Lemon zest at the end and see how it goes. Have some chicken breast soaking for Chookies KFC coating, and just made some soup from all the bits and pieces in the fridge. Raining here so cooking is just the thing to do.
-
yes, he does look good. Although not so good after several hours of cooking. Much like the restof us. ;D ;D ;D ;D
Goldfish I will post that recipe when I have a moment. I thought the one made on the night had too much zest , but this can be adjusted.
-
That's very exciting for Melbourne folks. Perhaps all the cities will get one.
-
Thanks chookie .. Never heard of finger limes before .. They look interesting.. So many things grow in oz that would never grow here 😥😥
-
Hally, why are fruits and veg so expensive in Perth. You have beautiful climate so why the High prices?
-
This is what Finger Limes look like. They can be green or pink small balls that are squeezed from the pod.
-
Interesting Chookie. Do you think they will freeze OK for you?
-
Well I have never seen anything like that before. It's amazing what mother nature creates (or this a man made crossed with something else kind of fruit?)
-
They are very interesting Chookie especially that you squeeze little balls from the pod. :)
-
Interesting Chookie. Do you think they will freeze OK for you?
Only one way to find out. These formed part of the Asian style dressing. Think they would be nice on small lemon tarts.

We did an excursion one year to a one of the pineapple farms at Yeppoon and he was branching out into Australian Native fruit and finger limes were one - I have never sighted any for purchase since that time. The flesh reminds me of roe!!!!

After you mentioned them i googled them and saw there are 5 or 6 different types of colours.. Says hey are farmed but native to australia.,??. Are thry really native as i have never heard of them before and are they specific to a certain region of australia?? Would be i teresti g to try but i doubt we can get them anywhere over here..
-
Chookie, i will have to see if they are sold over here in the west.
Courton, i dont know why things cost more over here, we pay the price for having the mining boom, my dh is not in the mining boom and none of our friends are. In Melbourne I saw Margaret River produce cheaper than here and for us its a local produce.

The class sounded great Chookie. I wonder if one day we will get a centre here in Adelaide? Must have a look at Andrews site. I know he specializes in Australian Native Foods.
-
I couldn't find the recipes on Andrew's site, so will post all the TMX ones. I put them on my Blog first and then swap them over. I have already posted the Asian lime and sesame dressing on my Blog. It is lovely with any fish. I will do the Barley Risotto next.

Thanks very much ACW . . the time you're taking to do this is very much appreciated! :-* :-*

Thanks goldfish. Next the Orange, Mango and Lemon Myrtle Sorbet.
-
Thanks Chookie I couldn't find any of the recipes either but thought it was just me.
-
The finger limes look amazing.
Hally I know exactly how you feel. We're retired and things go from bad to worse re food prices. Not everyone is benefitting from the mining boom.
-
Yes cookie, its disgusting how much things are in perth. Food is extremely high, I just dont undersand why here in perth things cost so much more than Sydney or Melbourne. Plus we dont have the choices either >:(

I'm just catching up on the forum after being away for the best part of a week. I first heard of finger lines on one of the Cook and the Chef TV series of programmes a while back and I have seen finger limes for sale at one of the stalls at Victoria Market in Melbourne. If anyone wants more info. I'll check on the name of the stand and let you know.
