Hello, summer

T

here’s nothing like turning on your out-of-office or being handed a glass of something fizzy to really kick off that Christmas vibe – and it truly is our favourite time of year here at The Village.

From balmy lunches to quality time with the family, there’s always plenty to celebrate.

But before that, there’s the prep! Whether it’s the perfect outfit for a season of soirées, a list of gifts to buy, or new recipes to try and enjoy, we’ve brought it all to this edition of Village Life.

Start with our party dressing special, featuring the best looks for the whole family – so you can be the best-dressed guest or the host with the most. For your shopping list, we’ve curated a gift guide with pressies for everyone… even your furry friends. Next, turn to our home and lifestyle special: with help from new Chop Butchery, we’ve got a few tips for making the festive season easier, more stylish – and tastier, too. Finally, it’s time to relax, so why not kick back with a juicy new read?

As always, thank you for supporting local and shopping at The Village. From our family to yours, we wish you a wonderful festive season for 2023.

One of the nicest ways you can serve seafood on a hot summer day is raw: it’s delicious, refreshing, and an easy crowd-pleaser.

There are many types of fish and shellfish that suit this. Kingfish, for example, can be thinly sliced and served alongside oysters and prawns, and raw scallops can be served ceviche-style: sliced and placed back in their pretty shell.

2 Remove the shells and wash thoroughly for serving. Thinly slice the raw scallop meat and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.

3 When ready to serve, toss the scallop meat in a little freshly squeezed lime juice, a good pinch of salt and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Add some thinly sliced green chilli for a touch of heat, and coriander and shaved radishes to garnish.

A festive feast Serve up a showstopping festive centerpiece from Chop Butchery, new to The Village

32 summer 2023

INGREDIENTS 375ml wildflower beer 2 cups brown sugar ½ cup honey 1 orange, juiced and rind peeled 2 tsp cloves 3-4 bay leaves 10kg whole leg cooked ham from Chop Butchery METHOD 1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Simmer glaze for 2 minutes over high heat to combine, then remove from heat and set aside.

2 To glaze your ham, brush a layer of glaze over the ham to start the process, then glaze every 5-10 minutes during cooking until all the glaze is used. Continue to cook, basting ham with the glaze and juices that accumulate in the base of the pan – it’s ok to get it nice and sticky and caramelised, the little crunchy bits are the best.

3 Serve the ham, with some of the pan-glaze juices for spooning over.

INGREDIENTS 375ml wildflower beer 2 cups brown sugar ½ cup honey 1 orange, juiced and rind peeled 2 tsp cloves 3-4 bay leaves 10kg whole leg cooked ham from Chop Butchery METHOD 1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Simmer glaze for 2 minutes over high heat to combine, then remove from heat and set aside.

2 To glaze your ham, brush a layer of glaze over the ham to start the process, then glaze every 5-10 minutes during cooking until all the glaze is used. Continue to cook, basting ham with the glaze and juices that accumulate in the base of the pan – it’s ok to get it nice and sticky and caramelised, the little crunchy bits are the best.

3 Serve the ham, with some of the pan-glaze juices for spooning over.

THE PERFECT PAVLOVA 1 If you haven’t made a pavlova before, do a test run before the big day. Meringue, while simple to make, with just four ingredients – egg whites, sugar, vinegar and cornflour – can be temperamental, particularly in hot, humid weather.

34 summer 2023

2 Once you’re feeling confident, don’t be afraid to make your meringue the night before. Let it cool overnight in the oven with the door ajar, then store it in an airtight container to prevent any humidity making it soft.

3 Once you add your topping, you can refrigerate your pavlova for an hour or two so it’s ready to serve.

Another good idea is to buy your fruit a few days ahead, as some things taste much better when they’re fully ripe and at their peak.
