Bread and Olives

Yallingup’s wood fired bread oven is another favourite, not to be missed when you are in the area. It is especially famous for its fruit loaves which are available straight out of the oven in the late afternoon. They must be the last to be cooked when the oven is cooling down slightly. We had to wait till nearly 4.00 pm so we had time to walk around the place. At the back we noticed huge piles of wood, off cuts from a timber yard, destined for the big oven in the middle of the forest.

I also noticed a few kangaroos in the field next door:

We have just visited Olio Bello olive farm and bought a few gourmet items to spice up our meals back at the chalet. There were many flavours of oil to taste, as well as various chutneys, relishes and marinated olives. One room had lots of beauty products, soaps, scented candles etc. Everything was quite pricey.

Here I am checking out the ingredients of their zucchini chutney, with a view to making some when I get back home:
