F&CK WHATEVER COMES OUT OF THE POT The world started with an onion. Well in my world anyway. Everything is made from scratch, just like the kitchen of my grandparents, Frank and Connie. My little restaurant and menu is a reflection of my home, my history and my family; generations of shared meals over long laden tables with loved ones. My food is also a reflection of my 20-something years of cooking across colourful and diverse cuisines. I call it simple good food, cooked beautifully. With some cheeky attitude on the side. Whatever is in season this week is what I will use.
This month, I have a lovely lady who is growing me the most beautiful range of peas and legumes that I cannot wait to transform into some early Spring dishes to add to our small ever-changing blackboard menu. The restaurant is also the perfect size for intimate gatherings of 20-30 people for when you need a little venue to celebrate something big. So come and dine at my place. We are here to make your stay away that little bit more special.

With spring on our doorstep, and the Swiss Italian Festa just around the corner, you can’t beat a spritz for an afternoon aperitivo with friends. At Belvedere Social we like to add house-made limoncello for wonderfully refreshing citrus note. And as there are plenty of backyard-lemons around at this time of year, why not make your own? INGREDIENTS
30mls Aperol (available from Celebrations at Foxxy’s Daylesford) 20mls limoncello 60mls prosecco (try locally made Fontanella Prosecco) 30mls soda lemon garnish METHOD
Add ice to a large wine glass or tumbler. Add prosecco
L I M O N C E L LO 8 natural lemons (free of sprays and wax) 750ml bottle vodka 500grams lemon sugar syrup 1 litre bottle/container, sterilized. METHOD
1.
Pour over Aperol and limoncello and stir. Add soda.
2.
Garnish with a couple lemon wheels. Salute!
Belvedere Social will be hosting a daily aperitivo during the Swiss Italian Festa, from 4-6pm, with Salvatore Rossano (piano accordion) and Emiliano Beltzer (guitar) playing Southern Italian songs from 4.30pm on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 October.
3. 4. 5.
Remove lemon zest in long strips, taking care to avoid too much of the white pith. Combine lemon zest and vodka in an airtight bottle/container and set aside in a cool dark place for 10 days minimum. When the zest turns white your lemon vodka is ready. Strain lemon zests off vodka and dispose of lemon zests. Mix lemon vodka and lemon sugar syrup in litre bottle. Rest limoncello in refrigerator for 24 hours before use.

Fighting Farmer STORY AND PIC TURES BY RICHARD CORNISH
Tammi Jonas has a problem with authority. The outspoken Eganstown cattle and pig farmer produces high quality and ethically raised free-range beef and pork. She has built an on farm butchery and promotes pasture fed animal production of the highest quality. For her effort she is constantly locking horns with the food police. "Life is good," says the American born farmer. "We have good volcanic soil. We have access to market. Our customers are really well educated," she says. "The biggest problem is that we small farmers are over regulated," she says. "We come under the same meat regulations as big multinationals. It can take me two years to get a product on the 16 | L O S T M A G A Z I N E

Something's Brewing S TORY AND PIC TURES BY RICHARD CORNISH
“There used to be over 30 pubs between Daylesford and Blampied,” says brewer David Gill with a sense of excitement. “Most were shacks. Back in the 19th century there were four brewers in town,” says Gill, the co-founder of The Daylesford Brewing Company. “I want to bring brewing back to town.” The gutsy 31 year old has bought the former gold rush era pub The Golden Fleece (later known as the Fire Brigade Hotel) in Vincent Street, adjacent to the Bendigo Bank. While there hasn’t been a beer poured here for over 60 years, his aim is to renovate the old drinking hole and return her to her former glory including the establishment of an artisanal brewery. Gill is Sydney born with a background in chemistry and environmental science. Like many of the new wave of small brewers, he DAV I D G I L L , B R E W E R A N D CO - FO U N D E R D AY L E S F O R D B R E W I N G C O .
started toying with a Cooper’s home brew kit. He fell in love with a Daylesford woman, Jessica Holmes, now also his business partner, and moved back to her hometown.
18 | L O S T M A G A Z I N E
They knew they wanted to brew in Daylesford and started brewing with well-known teams such as Temple Brewing in Brunswick East, Cavalier in Derrimut, and Fury and Son in Keilor East. “We wanted to have an established brand that people knew and loved,” says Gill. He follows in the footsteps of many young brewers and other business people who develop the brand to kickstart the bricks and mortar business. The pair had been living in Daylesford when the old pub came up for sale. They dug deep and bought the old beauty. To understand the beer culture of the region Gill and Holmes have dug through the records and literature to get a grip of what people were drinking on the gold fields. “Water is the main ingredient in beer,” explains Gill. “The country around here is known for its water which would have given the brews a real point of difference,” he says. “And that is something we will continue to do in the future.” For the time being you can try Daylesford Brewing Co.’s Pale Ale, Golden Ale, India Pale Ale and Porter at The Lakehouse, The Farmers Arms, Daylesford Hotel, Kookla, Glenlyon General Store, Bridge Hotel Castlemaine and Catfish Thai Restaurant in Ballarat.

G.R.Z.Y.B. The whir and clatter of an industrial sewing machine fills the room. It ceases and modern tunes ooze from the sound system. The woman at the machine looks up. She is immaculately dressed. A broad red smile forms across her face. This is Jodi Grzyb. Fashion designer. Maker. Thinker. Her shop in Vincent Street Daylesford is also her making room, but there is barely a scrap or thread on the floor. This is a zero waste fashion business. To explain Grzyb stands to reveal an outfit of beautiful Italian wool cloth that is sculpted into an ensemble, that while is reminiscent of Issey Miyake, it looks strikingly original. She wears a pair of black drop-crotch pant with an elasticised merino jersey waist. Over this is a top and structural jacket in khaki, a generous scarf-like collar harking to the post military jackets of post cold war. Clean, beautiful, comfortable. “I only use fashion industry remnants and I use all of the cloth,” says Grzyb. Her clothes are not edged in trim or finished in hems. Instead the arms, legs and bottoms of garments finish in raw edges or the selvedge, the natural edge where the bolt of cloth sat on the loom. Breaking other fashion industry norms is her ageless, sizeless philosophy. “Any one can wear my clothes from 18 years to 100,” she 20 | L O S T M A G A Z I N E

says. “And there are no sizes, there are pieces here that can fit people who would be judged as size 8 to size 28,” she explains. Her clothes are also multi-gender with a good number of well dressed men now proudly wearing a Grzyb designed garment. The Daylesford designer is just 18 months into her business. While she started out carrying some well know designer labels along with her own range she was only a few weeks into her new venture when she ‘had a conversation with herself’. She realized that her business should have a sense of place so she halted orders with outsiders and concentrated on local craftspeople and jewellers such as Jackie Ristevskie and Anji Noov. While the designer will soon be off to the Adelaide Fashion Festival she spends most days working with the new bolts of fabric as they arrive. “By the very nature of my fabric supply my label is about very short runs and one off pieces,” she say. “That said if you like something we can often make it for you here, you go off and explore town, and we will text you when it is ready,” she says. “It’s modern clothing with old fashion service.” 31 Vincent St, Daylesford, 0409 977 231 www.grzyb.com.au

Produce and Farmers Markets September sees the beginnings of Spring but Winter is still holding firm so we are yet to get into the full swing of Spring vegetables. The start of September will still be filled with beautiful new season potatoes, brassicas (cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts) and of course all of the citrus fruits. Moving into mid-late September, we will start to see the strawberries, beans, asparagus and sweet, dainty peas.
