Wallaby and potato pie
“When we took over the bakery in 1997, we only made vegetarian pies. Many of our customers at Salamanca Market were requesting a meat pie. We wanted to use ingredients that were available locally and John, being Scottish, started thinking about the stews of his childhood. We also decided that wallaby would have been part of many Tasmanians’ diets for a long time, and so the wallaby & potato pie was born.” – John Glendinning and Marie Van de Gumster from Summer Kitchen Bakery, Tasmania

Potato peel soup
"I understand that this might be a tough sell. But bear with me because it’s miraculous," says Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. "There’s nothing humble about this soup’s rich, creamy flavour – it tastes, remarkably, like mushrooms. And if it seems just a little too pared-back, it’s very easy to jazz it up with some nice finishing touches (see below). Make sure the potatoes are well scrubbed before you peel them so the peels are very clean." This recipe is an extract from Love Your Leftovers (Bloomsbury, $45) by Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall.
