Many people ask me what relish is exactly or want me to explain the difference between relish, chutney and a pickle. So here are my definitions (with some help from wikipedia)… By definition, a “relish” is a cooked, pickled, chopped vegetable or fruit food item which falls into the ‘condiment’ family.  A condiment’s role is to improve or enhance the flavour of your food or meal, similar to sauce,...

The kind editors at SMH Good Living (Sydney Morning Herald’s weekly foodie type lift-out) squeezed in a fantastic blurb about relish this. and our saucy relishes last week!!! (Tuesday 28th July). It reads: Home-made flavours Relish is not for nanas according to Sarah Ladyman, who ditched her corporate marketing job for a lifestyle change and started her own business last year. The relish this range is based on her home-made relish...

3 weeks post good food & wine show ‘09 and things are officially back to normal! Well kinda. We needed a little break after the build up of the show, but mr.relish decided to take that a bit too literally and broke his leg last week!!! Eeeeeeek, so he’s officially out of action on the relish this. front (well on all fronts actually) for a long while. Arghhh! On a positive note, the exposure received from the show has been...

wahoo we did it! we survived the good food & wine show ‘09. After a lot of work and preparation, we managed to pull off a pretty successful effort at sydney’s good food & wine show over the weekend.  Of course it was a massive team effort and there’s no way it could’ve  gone so well without the fabulous relish this. crew who helped out on the stall over the 3 days. I also want to share how appreciative ...

For those of you who missed us, here are a couple of photos of the stall at the show. Thankfully, all our hard work paid off and the stall was left looking pretty slick – especially in comparison to the big boys we were there with and the size of their ’stand’ fit out budgets! We were on a corner in a pretty good location which was a big plus too. A huge thank you to my spunky mr relish who lugged all of this HEAVY stuff...

Yep, we are now off to the sydney good food & wine show – she’s here! We are setting up from early tomorrow morning, and be at the show for a few days over the weekend (details here), so if you are going along to the show, please come n visit us! I plan on having a pretty spunky stall with spunky showbags with lots of tasty, fresh, saucy relish to taste on cheese n crackers (fingers tightly crossed we don’t actually...

I am starting to freak out. Just a little. Ok it’s not a massive occassion for everybody, but it sure is for me. Yeah you might think I’m over exaggerating or stressing out about nothing, but when you’re exhibiting at your first big fat foodie tradeshow with your own little product made by your own little hands,  I bet you will be feeling the sweat too! Now there’s only five whole days to go until we set up and open...

We went to bunnings and bought a compact “can – o – worms” worm farm! Ok so it’s not quite the puppy I’ve been wanting for the past 5 years, but I’m still excited to finally have a pet in our ‘pet strict’ unit, and to be able to put all of the vegetable and fruit peelings from my relish making to good use is a great feeling.  It was really easy to put together and you only need to have...
