In my kitchen…
…are the first two eggs laid by Amber. The new hens have been named (all will be revealed in a future post), and are settling well into the flock, but only Amber is laying at the moment. I can’t tell you how nice it is to have homegrown eggs again…
In my kitchen…
…are mulberries from our neighbours Liz and Brett’s enormous backyard tree…
We turned most of the bucket into four and a half jars of mulberry jam. It’s not a tidy process, as all the berries need to be stripped from the stem…
We like our berry jams quite firm (with the exception of strawberry) and very concentrated in flavour, but not overly sweet…
In my kitchen…
…there is always bread, but not always such a pleasing bread photo – this one was taken with the board on the kitchen floor in a beam of morning sunlight…
In my kitchen…
…is the first of our sweetheart cabbages for the season. As we also had a freshly laid egg, naturally we had to make coleslaw…
In my kitchen…
…is the newest Callebaut chocolate on sale at Chefs’ Warehouse…
Unusually, it’s a blend of different origin chocolate from Tanzania, Ghana and Sao Thomé, and it’s a seriously dark 80%. Despite that, it tempers into a smooth, silky bar without any of the chalkiness that you sometimes find in higher cacao chocolate…
In my kitchen…
…are plump, fat vanilla beans from Tahiti – a gift from our friends Marcela and Stephen who visited the plantation last month…
In my kitchen…
…is caramel sauce. I normally wouldn’t buy sauce in a bottle, but this one only has two ingredients, caramelised sugar and water. And yes, I could make it, but I’m notorious for burning caramel…
In my kitchen…
…is annatto paste. When I posted about our Mexican Chilli Paste, lovely Tania from My Kitchen Stories told me that I had to pick up some annatto paste next time I was at Fiji Market. I actually have no idea what I’m supposed to do with it – any suggestions?
In my kitchen…
…is Australian spanner crab meat bought frozen from Costco. Picked crab meat is very expensive here – this small 250g packet cost (from memory) about $16…
It made a very special Friday night pasta though, and the 250g was more than enough to feed the four of us…

Yay! Eggs! You must be so thrilled. Love the crab pasta too. My grandfather used to make a dish that looked very similar to yours and the flavor is just incredible! He used to catch the crabs himself! And I think you bread looks gorgeous- love that morning light ;)
Em, it’s just so exciting! The crab pasta was a simple one with a bit of tomato, but so delicious and luxurious! I like eating crabs, but not shelling them – I always seem to make such a mess of it! :)
Achiote (annatto) paste is often used by us. It adds a smokey flavor.to some dishes. We always make achiote oil using the seeds and add it to our rice for coloring. So many wonderful Mexican and Carribean recipes you can make with this product..have fun with it….
Norma, I can see that I’m going to have to do some research! Thank you for the suggestions – especially for making the oil – I saw some annatto seeds for sale at Fiji Market…
Mulberries can be used to make the most amazing Granita, so if you get any more I would heartily recommend you give it a go!
Oooh Tony, now that’s a good idea, thank you! x
Celia, amazing how you can post so much stuff every month! Cool!
I had a post “in the making” – for October, the last one before our kitchen is done. I am counting the days to get that renovation finished, but we are at the end of the process, maybe the worst is over, I hope….
Loved the photo of the bread, it made me wish I could be baking bread…
Sally, I hope you get to do an October post, but renovations can just be so unpredictable! Hope it finishes soon, love. xx
Scheduled to go live Oct 08th – last post on my old” kitchen! ;-)
Sally, that’s very exciting – please email me when it’s up and I’ll add it to the list!
Celia, your kitchen is bursting with deliciousness (I’m sure that must be a word) this month; so many wonderful and different flavours.
I have the fondest memories of eating mulberries straight from the tree in my granny’s garden – oh what happy days those were.
Crab is also ridiculously expensive here so we very rarely enjoy what is my favourite meat.
Have a lovely day – I need to tootle off and finish my IMK post for tomorrow morning – we are still in September here.
:-) Mandy xo
Mandy, I love crab meat, but I hate picking it out of the bits of shell. I just seem to always make such a mess of it, and then there’s pointy sharp bits all through the tender meat. So this was a real treat! :)
Very tempting things in your kitchen as always Celia. The bread looks a wonderful texture, I bet it’s fabulous with that lovely jam. And I do like the quantity you buy chocolate in! Also very envious of that perfect cabbage, mine are peppered with holes, I seem to be sharing them with a lot of caterpillars.
Andrea, good morning! :) Cabbages are a right bugger for the moths, aren’t they? I think we were lucky with that one, usually we’re picking the bugs off as well. We only ever grow a few, but in order to get a good eating one (without bug spray), we have to keep a vigilant eye on them…
Hi Celia, great bread photo. Lighting is everything! Amber is a very smart girl producing eggs so soon after moving house. Your mulberry jam looks very impressive. We have a mulberry tree but I never bother doing anything with them, maybe I should. I have no idea what annatto paste is. Is it made from annatto seeds?
Here is the link to my IMK post this month http://passionfruitgarden.com/2013/09/30/in-my-kitchen-october-2013/.
Glenda, the annatto paste is made from seeds, but I’ve never used either of them. I shall have to go on a big explore! :) Mulberries are a lot of work to process! x
lovely bread photo – well done for finding the light let alone for making it :)
Thanks Claire! It was literally a long skinny beam of light. I made a toasted sandwich and turned around to put it on the floor to take a photo…and the light was gone.. :)
Hurray!! You have eggs again! Mulberry jam…yummy. You always have so many interesting things in your kitchen!
Loved reading your chocolate adventure with Justin. The pictures are so nice. You probably had to take many pictures to get the right ones!
Manuela, you can imagine the little happy dance I did when the first egg came in. :) And I had to take about a hundred photos to get ones of Justin that weren’t blurred – he moves too fast!! :)
[…] to yet another addition of In My Kitchen, hosted by the lovely Celia at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial. As Celia put it, it’s where bloggers from all over the globe […]
Hello Celia, I remember seeing recipes that use annatto in Vietnamese cookbooks (of all places), tell me if you want me to look it up.
Also, could you tell me how much the Callebaut chocolate was?
Saucy, that IS interesting, thank you! I didn’t realise it was used in Vietnamese cooking as well! And the Callebaut 80% was $52.50 for 2.5kg, so $21/kg, which I think is incredibly reasonable for origin chocolate! :)
More lovely things from your kitchen this month Celia -thanks for sharing.
Thanks Amanda, how nice that you’re back! :)
I love this in my kitchen concept. I have a post ready to publish later today. Thanks for the inspiration!
Just saw it! I’ll add it to the list straight away, thanks for joining in! :)
Celia, the floor shot of your bread is one of the reasons your In My Kitchen posts appeal to me. “Real life” sometimes requires punting and you do it with such good humor! I also love your farm fresh eggs, thick jam, and sweetheart cabbage. (Never saw one of those before!) Don’t get me started on the chocolate though… tee hee. Looking forward to adding my post to the mix tomorrow — it’s still Sept. 30th here. xo
Is it okay if I post “a day early” (here)? I really need to devote this week to polishing my performance. Thank you! It’ll be up & running in a couple of minutes.
Kim, of course! I’ve added it to the list! “Real life” is often so quirky and funny that we have to laugh, right? :)
Celia, many thanks for bearing with my schedule. (I also appreciate your encouragement on my concert!) Truthfully, IMK has been a “smiler” — one of those discoveries that makes real life a happy mix of all of the above. I’m a firm believer that laughter keeps us sane. :) You and your IMK crew give me plenty to smile about! xo
cool things in your kitchen celia but the eggs, cabbage and mulberries are (to me anyway) real treasure indeed..x
Jane, you’re so right (and wise), those ARE the real treasures, aren’t they? :)
hooray for fresh eggs again Celia!! I love the look of your sweetheart cabbage, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that variety before, it’s so perfect!
Cleaning all those mulberries must have been a messy process but totally worth the effort I’m sure xx
Lisa, it was sprayed purple juice everywhere! The sweetheart cabbages have lots of other names, and they’re a lovely sweet variety!
Celia, what bounty you have in your kitchen this month! You really captured a great photo with that bread & I can taste the jam on top. Are mulberries basically the same as what we call blackberries? They look very similar & my husband is always after me to make blackberry jam w/the seeds in since he can never find it at any markets.
The price here of crabmeat is incredibly high but this is our 3rd year of very low prices for Maine lobster so we’ve been having lobster about once a week while we can.
And, believe it or not, I did get an IMK post up for October! I’m afraid I don’t have many pretty things to show this time since everything is getting stored away & my kitchen is piled with boxes :)
http://dianeskitchentable.wordpress.com/2013/09/30/in-my-kitchen-october-2013/
Diane, yay! How fabulous to have you joining in! Did I get your blog name correct? Please let me know if I need to change it. And cheap lobster, how wonderful is that! :)
I can’t wait to be introduced to all the new members of your family. Well done to Amber – what a good girl. I haven’t heard of sweetheart cabbages before – what a good name for them. The highlight of this post for me is the Tahitian vanilla beans. When we had a holiday in Tahiti (absolutely can’t wait to go back…someday!) the vanilla beans were for sale everywhere and although not cheap (nothing is in Tahiti) they are certainly the best of the very best – so soft and plump and fragrant, not like those dehydrated thin sticks we normally see here. I did smuggle a few packets back into the country and gave them to my friends as gifts – just those who could appreciate them! xx
Charlie, the vanilla beans look absolutely divine – I’ve never seen any so plump and juicy before. I have to think of something clever to do with them, and not hoard them (which is what I’m really tempted to do!).
A nice reminder that I need to check out my usual mulberry haunts, (for some reason I always seem to go picking in a white top- hilarious!) Mulberry jam?…Mmmmmm!
Brydie, I sacrificed a shirt, because I didn’t want to get my pretty apron all stained. What’s the logic in that, right? :D
I really must get myself a bag of chocolate and start experimenting. How exciting that you have eggs again. Can’t wait to see the new girls.
You have such lovely friends to give you such wonderful gifts Celia!
Love the bread pic too.
Claire, I really do have the nicest friends, thank you! The new girls are coming soon, I promise, how are you going with convincing Will that you need chooks? ;-)
[…] In My Kitchen is a monthly event hosted by Celia at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial. Please visit her blog for a “look see” in kitchens around the world — or better yet, let’s see what’s in your kitchen! […]
I miss having a mulberry tree – the jam looks super yummy!
Caramel sauce without milk or cream in it! I NEED That!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Sandy, it’s such a good find for that reason – I can’t really do cream much any more either. It’s actually very nice – I have a cake recipe in mind for it! :)
If I could walk thru’ your kitchen and have my druthers, would you believe I would reach for those two beautifully produced eggs by Amber and that elegant cabbage first! Love the plumpness of the vanilla beans, but am scrolling very fast past the crab . . . well, no way . . . greedy me could manage that all on my own :) ! [Talking of eggs, have you had the chance to visit Celi? Am still laughing about Sheila’s ‘egg tax’!]
Eha, no, I missed that post! Thank you, I’ll go have a look! :)
So pleased you have eggs again. That bread looks perfect :)
Thanks Tandy! It’s such a treat to be getting eggs again!
[…] by Celia at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial, I thought I’d do an “In My Kitchen” […]
Such a lot of inspiration, I had to join in! My “In My Kitchen” post is at http://witcheskitchen.com.au/in-my-kitchen/. We picked the first mulberries today too, but none of them made it back to the kitchen!
Oh how exciting, thanks for joining in, Linda! xx
Wow Celia, is it really October already!!!? I am envious of your home ‘grown’ eggs, would love to have some chooks, but we don’t have a ‘garden’ as such at the moment. The mulberry jam looks delicious, would love a slurp on a scone right now! Thanks for sharing all your goodies xoxo
Lizzy, thank you – the mulberries might end up as our neighbourhood jam, they come from just a couple of houses away! We’re hoping to do a big jam making session soon! :)
Mmm, envious of all the lovely things in your kitchen…that sweetheart cabbage is so cute! How nice to have your fresh eggs again x
Danielle, it’s so nice having eggs again, and we usually have difficulty getting cabbage to heart, so this one was a treat!
Hehe I’m dying to read about the chooks and how they’re doing ;) And that is such a bargain for the crab meat. BTW I have a jar of maple butter for you!
Oh you’re a sweetheart, thank you so much for doing that for me! And chooks are coming in the next post! :)
Lovely items in your kitchen.
Thanks for stopping by! :)
In my kitchen…is another mediocre sourdough.
I am following your directions from Bread 101 exactly (I had the flying saucer shaped loaf last time), but I am still not getting any oven spring :o(
I am using baker’s flour now and can’t figure out what the problem could be. I proof in the oven with just the oven light on, could it be getting too hot?
It rises beautifully for the first rise (which I leave for about 4 hours), and looks okay when I shape it (still flatter than yours) but it basically stays the same shape when it goes in the oven.
Could it be my starter? It’s definitely bouncy, but maybe not the right type for this bread recipe? How much water should I spray on the loaf – could that be the problem?
I really want this to work….I can make loaves in my bread maker, but I want sourdough dangnamit!
Celia – I bow to your expertise with bread. Any tips you can give me for troubleshooting would be soooooo appreciated!
Sally, maybe it’s your starter? I know that when I tried the Alaskan starter from NorthWest Sourdough, I couldn’t use it to make my bread, because it would rise quickly and then seem to run out of steam, so that it just wouldn’t bounce back again for a second rise. I’ll drop you an email – maybe I can send you some of mine?
Maybe instead of spraying water on the bread, you could try placing a pan of water on the bottom rack and then the steam will come from below rather than weighing down the loaf. Your sourdough starter really made the difference for me, Celia.
Mulberry jam with fresh white bread – a winning combination (and fab light in your photo). Mulberries must be one of the messiest fruits to deal with but so worth it. Glad your chooks are starting to lay.
Anne, I ruined one shirt and stained my white bench, but yes, so worth it! The jam is so delish that it makes up for all the mulberry poop the birds and bats leave over the backyard! :)
“The new hens have been named (all will be revealed in a future post)” oh Celia, please tell me that two are called Red and Green? :) I must get up to Chef’s Warehouse, that Callebaut looks amazing …
Nope, sorry. :) Amber was actually named after the character in Upper Middle Bogan, because she was SO cantankerous when she arrived! :)
I’m so glad to see, I hope, that I’m not the only one watching and loving Upper Middle Bogan. Excellent choice of name.
I love the narrative of your IMK posts but this month the pics were what did it for me: eggs straight out of the chook, mulberries au naturel, shiny jam, sunlit bread, the perfect cabbage to illustrate “not as green as cabbage looking”, and last but not least crab pasta that I could eat off the computer screen… I hate getting up close and personal with crustaceans also… there have been some disastrous encounters… :)
ED, I think it’s the best series I’ve watched all years – we’ve been cracking up watching it every week. And the chooks arrived just after the bassoon episode aired, and Amber the chicken was so bossy and cranky that she was named instantly! :)
We have new eggs at our house too. I love it! :-) Chook eggs, duck eggs, and even goose eggs. :-)
Wow! Duck and goose eggs as well! I love duck eggs, but never seem to buy them any more, as we have the chook ones at home.. :)
It is always nice to be in your kitchen,how do you prepare your coleslaw? I love it but can’t find the right recipe,
Hi Sponge! :) Here’s our coleslaw recipe – it’s very, very basic!
https://figjamandlimecordial.com/2010/11/07/coleslaw/
Morning Celia. I hope the sun is shining on your bread this morning too! I have so much to discuss with you re : the chocolate and the annato and the chooks, We must speak. The look of your jam is amazing. x
Darling, you have to come over and show me what to do with the annatto paste, I followed instructions and bought it when I was there! :) Hope to see you soon xx
[…] to Celia’s blog for a whole list of In my kitchen posts- it is great fun to see all the […]
The mulberries, chocolate, cabbage!!! You never fail to make me dream about food prepared by someone else who knows what food should taste like!
Thanks for starting this event and for always keeping it real and delicious!
I put up my post today- I’ve been fishing and picnicking all day- no fish- great pics and lots of fun! But i decided to put up my post on the 1st of October this month!
Heidi, it sounds like you’ve been having a glorious time with family! Thanks for always joining in the with IMK posts, even when you’re busy or not at home! LOVE the new cooker! xx
Such a fun post Celia…I love peeking on your kitchen :D
Have a wonderful week ahead!
Juliana, thank you for popping in for a virtual cuppa! Have a good one! :)
How long did it take you to strip all those mulberries. Bet the jam on the bread tasted just delicious. A whole bag of vanilla beans, oh, I am so jealous.
Norma, don’t ask, it took AGES! :) But worth it to get those four precious jars of jam! :)
So many delicious things in your kitchen as usual Celia. I love your bread in the morning sunshine! I can almost smell those plump vanilla beans from here. I bet the crab pasta meal was enjoyed by your family.
I am not sure I will have a post to share for this month…we have been on holidays and I am out of my normal blogging routine!
Jane, holidays sound wonderful, and we can always catch up next month! Hope you’re having a great time! :)
A wonderful IMK post, Celia, made especially so by its pasta finale! Yum! I chuckled when I saw your caramel. Just last night, I made salted caramel for an upcoming post. Here’s a tip: never try to catch a spatula that was being used to stir caramel. I’ve blistered fingers as proof of that statement’s veracity. That’s probably the only thing I’ve ever caught with my left hand. :)
Oooh John, I hope you’re ok!! I’ve had more hot sugar burns than I care to count – I don’t even attempt it now unless Pete’s in the kitchen with me. Good left-handed catch though…darn it.. ;-)

Happy October, Celia! Here’s my post for In My Kitchen. http://miskcooks.com/2013/10/02/in-my-kitchen-october-2013/
And yeah Amber eggs! Lovely. I do like the look of that jam, too, Celia. Luscious.
Thanks Misky! It’s so nice to have fresh eggs again! :)
Mulberries! How wonderful. And gorgeous vanilla beans! Your bread looks heavenly (that picture is a stunner). And caramel sauce and crab … Such a grand collection of gustatory delights! Thank you for sharing your goodies.
Here’s the link for a peek inside my kitchen:
http://auntshoe.blogspot.com/2013/10/in-my-kitchen-october-2013.html
Marianne, hooray! It’s on the list! And thank you, it’s a joy to be able to share my kitchen with all of you – it’s like having everyone over for a cup of tea! :)
Celia! The list of kitchens is flying! Your mulberry jam looks thick and dark and delicious, but because I’ve had a bit of a sugar overload over the past month, I actually covet your sweetheart cabbage – I love cabbage, and a good homemade slaw (I religiously add kohlrabi to mine when it is in season, it gives such a lovely crunch).
Here’s kitchen 22! http://absolutelyjas.com.au/post/2013/10/03/my-kitchen-october
I made my first pot roast yesterday. I braised the meat in flour, pepper and salt then put it in my dutch oven on low on a bed of onions and beer for most of the day, then added carrots and taters. No leftovers. Also made a French apple pie with custard. No leftovers again. Time to plan for the weekend! Hugs, Maz.
Maz, that pot roast sounds divine, it must have been incredibly tender after a slow day’s cooking! Heidi made a French apple pie too! Did you both serendipitously make the same one? Here’s her post: http://www.heidiannie.com/french-apple-cake-happy-october/
I think we like our jam the same way – and those berries in that jam sound divine. I am imagining some spread on your beautifully photographed sun-lit bread!
I just did my October post too – http://www.bitesizedthoughts.com/2013/10/in-my-kitchen-america-to-australia.html :)
Fantastic! Have added it to the list, Kari! x
That bread photo is gorgeous – imagine it would be lovely slathered with your mulberry jam. I love that you have vanilla direct from the plantation and I wish you well with your chooks (my parents have new chooks recently because the dog killed most of theirs)
I have done an IMK post for this month
http://gggiraffe.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/in-my-kitchen-october-2013.html
Johanna, it’s on the list! Thanks for playing! And I’m sorry to hear about your parents’ old chooks – that must have been hard..
Hi Celia, Here’s my October post http://www.gustoso.com.au/blog/challenge/in-my-kitchen-october-2013/
Lots of lovely goodies in your kitchen this month. I always envy anyone who can buy nice chocolate for cooking with.
Thanks for playing Emma! :)
Hi Celia, here is my first in my kitchen :) How exciting, I am such a curious person so I love peeping into other peoples kitchens :)
http://www.loveateverybite.com/in-my-kitchen/my-kitchen-october-2013/
Giulia, wonderful to have you joining in! :)
Your bread looks amazing Celia, just goes to show we don’t need a full studio to get a great shot just a bit of sun…..I still want a full studio though!
I can imagine the smell when you open that bag of vanilla……bliss.
Jason, vanilla is reasonably cheap in bulk these days, you should get some! I buy them from Chefs Warehouse and divvy out between friends, and they work out at about 70c each. :)
thanks I’ll check it out, I normally just pay for the 3 beans in a bottle but 70c sounds a much more attractive offer.
Loving those Mulberries! We walk past one that overhangs outside the local kindy but it’s stripped bare. No doubt there are some messy clothes and 4 year old hands at that kindy. Next time you have some mulberries, make Shrub!
Fiona, I saw you’d been making shrub! Can you imagine what a mess those kindy kids were in? :)
[…] organised enough to get an “In My Kitchen” post up to link with my friend Celia over at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial, but nevertheless that seems to be what I’ve done. I wouldn’t want you to be getting […]
Hi Celia – I’ve recently discovered your wonderful blog and was inspired to write an “In My Kitchen’ post.
It is located at http://apricottart.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/in-my-kitchen-october.html
Hi Celia – in the days since I wrote my first post for your ‘In My Kitchen’ I’ve been inspired by your blog to create a similar series for the other blog I write – The Living Well in Retirement Challenge. I’ve called the series ‘In My Retirement’ and intend to use it to reflect upon and celebrate all the wonderful things I’m experiencing in retirement.
In the first post ‘In My Retirement … in October’ I acknowledge you as the source of my inspiration! Thank you so much! You will find it here http://thelivingwellinretirementchallenge.blogspot.com.au/.
I would welcome your feedback. In great appreciation, Marian@Apricot Tart and The Living Well in Retirement Challenge
Marian, that’s wonderful! All the best with your new posts, I hope you find as many folks to share them with as we have with the IMK ones. And please keep joining in on the IMK posts when you have time, we love hearing from you! :)
Thanks so much, Celia! I’ll definitely be joining IMK again!
I would love other bloggers to join my IMR posts – however there don’t seem to be that many retirees blogging on retirement!
Maybe people dreaming of retirement would like to join in!!! :)
yay for fresh eggs and how cute is that little cabbage :) Stripping the berries certainly sound laborious but no doubt it makes stunning jam!
JJ, thank you, it IS exciting to have eggs again! :)
Hi Celia, Its my first time participating in the In My Kitchen series, I hope my post is acceptable, please forgive me this time round if it is not up to standard, I promise next month it will be so, but I was just keen to participate this month.
