The Yuzu




How to explain the taste of a yuzu? It's lemon-limey with an orange-influenced grapefruity finish. Let them float in your bath or infuse in hot water with some Manuka honey for a healthy winter tonic (thanks Cinny!). Ground up with chili peppers it makes and wonderfully sinus-cleansing addition to ramen. Last night we squeezed it over cod baked in sesame oil.



I'd give anything if they'd let me bring my little 4-year old yuzu bush to Australia.

Look at that precious little tree! His leaves are starting to look at but like kaffir lime tree leaves. I wonder if it's a relative? It's a shame they don't have a kind of waiting kennel to bring plants to Oz like they do with pets. I mean, it's not like your yuzu is going to have rabies, geesh! :-(

P.S. What has happened to my blog? Do you know how to fix it?
