Don't Shoot The Messenger

Join Caroline Wilson and Corrie Perkin for Ep 96 -'Many Years of Joy'. 

We're having a small celebration for our 100th episode on September 12th at 6.30 - 7.30pm at My Bookshop in Hawksburn. To book your ticket call 9824 2990. Tickets are limited! 

We check in with Caro and Corrie's August challenge and discuss the recent cold snap in Victoria that's seen snow falling around our region. 

With the 're-boot' of SeaChange on our TVs we talk sequels and prequels - our favourites and the absolute stinkers.

Corrie's 'Crush of the Week' is The Outer Sanctum podcast team. 

In BSF Caro's loving Big Sky by Kate Atkinson, Corrie recommends you check out Betting On Boris on 4 Corners and Caro shares Max Dowzer-Strode's cabbage recipe from his special RUOK? dinner (see recipe below). 

Caro's grumpy about basket baller Ben Simmons and his attitude on his recent visit, and on the flip-side to that kind of sentiment Hawthorn fans are preparing to farewell Jarryd Roughead after many years of joy!

MAX's CHARRED CABBAGE AND MISO BUTTER

Prepare large pot of boiling water. Add a few pinches of salt.

·         Peel away outer cabbage leaves  (these can be cooked separately if you like). The cabbage should be held tight together by the outer leaves. Cut whole cabbage into quarters (or 6ths depending on size), ensuring you cut across the line of the leaf to avoid the cabbage splitting open.

·         Blanch the cabbage in the boiling water for approx 5 minutes until soft. Remove the cabbage and transfer to a bowl of cold water. This will avoid the cabbage overcooking.  Allow to cool.

·         Remove the cabbage from the water – squeeze out excess liquid and try the outside of the cabbage. There will be water that is trapped in the inside leaves, which is OK as it will steam through later when you cook it.

·         Transfer to a bowl and season with olive oil, salt and pepper. I also like to use a mushroom salt by blending dried shiitakes with salt; it adds great depth. Allow to sit in the oil for 15 minutes, ensuring it penetrates the leaves.

·         Heat griddle pan or BBQ grill to a medium/high heat.

Spiced Apple Cake (from Yotam Ottolenghi's Simple) 

130g unsalted butter

150g caster sugar

3 large eggs, beaten lightly

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

300g plain flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

pinch of salt

200g soured cream

Apple Topping

4 medium-large eating apples (e.g. Cox, Braeburn, Gala), weighing about 600g

70g demerara sugar

1 rounded teaspoon mixed spice

Preheat the oven to 180C/Fan 160/Gas 4. Grease and line a 23cm cake tin.

Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla a little at a time (plus a little of the flour if it looks as if it’s curdling). Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together. Fold the flour mixture in a bit at time, alternating with spoonfuls of the soured cream. Spoon the batter into the prepared cake tin.

   Peel, core and slice the apples into wedges (about 1.5cm thick). Put in a bowl. Mix the demerara sugar with the mixed spice and add to the apple. Toss gently to coat the pieces of apple.

Gently lay the apple on top of the batter in the tin. It looked like far too much but I went with the recipe and, of course, it was absolutely perfect!

Bake for about an hour - but may need longer.
