Australians love the outdoors. In particular us West Australians- we are approaching winter and the temp is still a warming 25 degrees.

So now is not the time to be hiding inside in front of the television. Take the TV outside, light that wood fired  oven and cook delicious meals while you watch your favourite footy team battle it out.

This time of the year is also a good time to start that vegetable garden that you have been wanting to. With cooler days, plenty of sun and the odd rainy day, seasonal vegetables will thrive. Its great for the environment and for your back pocket. Look out for West Australian TV shows like the Garden Gurus for great hints and tips with local knowledge for getting your vege patch started.

Having fresh home grown veges is not only convenient but it gets your creative juices flowing when if comes to cooking with seasonal veges that you wouldn’t usually buy. And for those who don’t like to experiment, you know nothing beats the taste of home grown food cooked on the BBQ or in the wood oven.
