Thank you to Madeleine, who came along to our open weekend and shared with us this exquisite recipe for vegetarian walnut ‘sausage’ rolls. These were a hit with our whole family – kids and meat-lovers included! They are super-simple to make, hold together really well and are surprisingly filling. And incredibly yummy! Well worth a try.

150g feta cheese, cut into pieces
1tbsp tamari or soy sauce
50g breadcrumbs

Just walking around the walnut trees was peaceful and finding large walnuts from branches was so much fun.
Also we enjoyed the coffee and dessert from a coffee van. Lastly their pickled walnut was so delicious when I tasted it, so purchased a jar and I am enjoying it at home. I will definitely go to the open farm days again!
