Introduction

Some days I pinch myself that I get to live in a foodies paradise.

The Huon Valley is full of incredibly passionate producers and I wanted to highlight a few of them with this recipe.

A while ago, I posted a sweet saffron and white wine rice, but I had a few people ask if it could be made alcohol-free and figured that I’d tweak and post it with a fabulous new photo.

I sourced the saffron from my lovely friends and clients Tas Saffron, the apple juice is from the stall two minutes along my road but I can also highly recommend the juice from Our Mate’s Farm

Grab yourself some gorgeous local honey from Bruny Island Honey and finish everything off with a generous dollop of creamy Mountain River Yoghurt.

If I could have sourced the rice and the butter from my area, I would have

If you come to the Valley, come with an empty stomach and a full wallet.
Switch the two and leave happier.

Head home and make yourself a delicious bowl of this goodness.

Enjoy!
