Wholefoods House 9 Danks Street Waterloo NSW Ph: 02-9319 4459 BLUE KITCHEN's Louise does her thing at the new Wholefoods House store in Waterloo

Sydney now has two Wholefoods House stores - winners of the Sydney Morning Herald's Foodies Award for Excellence in Organic Food. The original Queen St, Woollahra shop is joined by the new Organic Foodstore and Café in Waterloo. Natural light floods the café, but the drawcard is really the organic fruit & vegetables, the bins of pulses & nuts, and the shelves of quality organic products - including, of course, the entire BLUE KITCHEN range. Co-owner Eliot Rickard knows his stuff, and will help you select what you need from the huge amount of goodies on sale, including great cheeses, sourdough breads, oils, meat & poultry, and excellent frozen products.

Scoville Units measure the amount of capsaicin (the chemical that provides the heat) in a chilli. The higher the Scoville rating, the hotter the chilli. Capsaicin is located in the white tissue that holds the seeds. It is often rubbed onto the seeds, which is why they are usually hotter than the flesh. When it comes to chillies, size does matter. Usually, the smaller the chilli, the hotter it is.

Planning is now underway for the 10th Anniversary Sawtell Chilli Festival, to be held on Saturday 5th July, 2008 on First Ave, Sawtell (near Coffs Harbour).

Every year, BLUE KITCHEN produces a limited amount of seasonal products which are sold directly from the factory in South Lismore, or at Food Festivals and Events. Those "in the know" are also placing orders in advance. In an EXCLUSIVE OFFER TO YOU, we have decided to give you the opportunity to get in on the act.

Harvest time for local Davidson Plums is upon us, so we're almost ready to turn the kitchen over to full production of our Davidson Plum Jam - a tart, marmalade-style, native, bush-food jam. This jam 'walks out the door' whenever we have it on offer, but as we are limited to the amount of fruit available, we cannot produce enough to stock it at our usual retail outlets. In fact, last season we sold out, and had none left for us! Boo-hoo! $10 for 300g jar.

Also now available to our e-zine subscribers, is a limited amount of our famous preserved lemons. We usually keep these reserved in bulk for our Harissa, but due to requests from local foodies, we bottled up some surplus fruit together with the herbs and spices that make up this traditional North African specialty. Preserved lemons are a staple in most Moroccan dishes (see above), can be used in casseroles, chermoula dressings or tossed through salads. Use your imagination and enjoy - that's what cooking is all about! $10 for 300g jar.
