maple time

After a long time without any Mast flavours, a new delivery arrived this past Thursday. And since we are close to the middle of the winter, what's better than a mapleing splash?

wintering

Right in the middle of a rainy week around the Finisterrae neck of the coastal woods, we are starting our own winter celebration. Almost three weeks of activities will hopefully recharge the batteries to survive the rest of another Offtarian cold white season.

panem habemus

Bread is such an essential part of any seriously good meal. It's hard to believe how it has basically been eradicated from many contemporary diets, and replaced by a square and tasteless piece of white something that could easily be artificial cork.

It often seems to be a not obvious task finding a decent bakery, where flavour and quality ingredients are the norm. Bourke Street Bakery in Syd City or Blackbird Baking in Tor City are good examples of successful baking. 

roe

Just like caviar, eating fish roe can be a magnificent pleasure, a real luxury at a much more accessible price. Simply boiled, with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil on top, and perhaps a potato or onion by the side, a remarkable experience of maritime purity can get ignited in a shockingly easy and intense way.

tangerine one

After a few years waiting, it was this week that our first tangerine grown in the property was ready to join the menu with great satisfaction. Three more are almost ready, so the test will continue in the coming days.
