They say that '𝑨 𝑷𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑷𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒂 𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔' and going by this update from the Kabul Star Bakery, you can't help but feel all sorts of emotions to see and hear that our Box Divvy community is having such a positive impact on Asad's business 🫶

You can see here that Asad has been busy remodeling his bakery to increase its capacity and he is now ready for some big orders!

If you haven't yet tried the Afghan bread you really must. It is described as a hybrid between Turkish bread and Indian naan, but this description does not do it justice.

It is soft, somewhat fluffy, definitely rustic, moreish, incredibly versatile, and despite the simple ingredients (wheat flour, wholemeal flour, salt, yeast, water) they seem to stay fresh for 3-4 days. You can crisp them up in the oven, heat them in the microwave for a softer result, or even toast them.

You’ll find them under Bakery ➡️ Bread ➡️ Wraps & Flatbread. Two loaves per pack for a combined weight of around 760g for a low price of $4.58.

Baked and delivered fresh daily!

Well, that nearly brought Asad and his family to their knees… Little did we know there would be this many orders – bigger even than the Lebanese bread. In the end, on most days he was able to fill about two-third of our orders, except on Friday (our smallest day) when he got close to 99%.

All week, social media has been on fire – so he’s been building a nice head of steam.

However, Asad is going to have to pause for a week: he needs a few days to re-organise the bakery so he can accommodate a second baker to ensure he can fill all our orders.

So he will be back – but it’ll be the week after next (first delivery 15th July). We apologise if you missed out last week, and now have to wait another week – but he needs the time to put his production on a solid footing.

🌟 New from Handler: Mini Tenderloin 🌟

Tenderloin – also known as eye fillet or fillet of beef - is the most tender beef cut you can get. It normally sells for $50 - $70 a kilo, but Andrew Handler has managed to source a supply of Mini Tenderloins from South-East Queensland selling for around $39 a kilo.

They weigh between 700g and 1Kg, and can be cooked whole as a mini roast – or sliced into steaks and either pan-fried, grilled or barbecued.

See in the comments a recipe from RecipeTinEats, explaining the best way to roast it. I mean, how can you go wrong with a recipe that instructs you to “slather” on the butter 😁!!!!

Here are a few of her secret tips:
• Salt and leave in the fridge overnight (dry brining). This will add flavour and remove some excess moisture from the meat.
• Brown all sides in a hot cast-iron pan.
• Roast in a low 120 C to ensure the whole roast is cooked evenly. If you cooked this at 180 C, the outside layer would be overcooked.
• Cook for around 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 53 C for medium-rare. (Use a meat thermometer).
• Let it rest for 10 minutes whilst you make the mushroom sauce.

💚 Farmers Recovery Fund Update 💚

Wow, you have raised a total of $5706 for the Farmers’ Recovery Fund this week. Hats off!

Box Divvy will match all donations dollar-for-dollar – putting our mouth where our money is. So, the Fund now has over $11,000 at its disposal.

We’ve had discussions with two of the worst-affected growers. For various reasons, both have indicated that on this occasion they probably won’t be needing any bridging funds. They have already cleaned up their patch, have started sowing and are expecting to start harvesting in 5-6 weeks if the weather stays benign.

We’ve put out the offer, and if circumstances change, they may take us up on it.

Just devastating. A little dose of the reality of farming life.

Yet another reason to unsupermarket and shop with us!

All of us at Norco have been overwhelmed by the passionate outcry from our loyal customers. We can confirm that our Norco white milk has been removed from 150 Woolworths stores in metropolitan Sydney.

Fortunately there are still many other stores our customers can visit to find our award winning white milk both in metropolitan Sydney and right across NSW and Queensland, to continue supporting our hard working dairy farmers. By choosing Norco, you are supporting Australia’s oldest dairy co-operative (the last of its kind), owned by hundreds of farming families, so all profits stay right here in Australia and make their way back into our local communities. With no external shareholders or foreign ownership - there is no lining of the pockets of offshore companies or foreign shareholders. We are 100% fair dinkum Aussie!!! So thank you for supporting our Aussie farming families. You can find your local stockist here: https://bit.ly/3RbXuoa

Wooooooooow...is this THE ham that everyone's been raving about?
Pastoral Hams are made from 100% Australian pork. The stock is raised on the prime banks of the Lachlan River in the Central West region of Cowra.
Made from a recipe that hasn’t changed for over 20 years, its hams have won medals in 11 consecutive Royal Easter Shows and were voted Gourmet Travellers’ Best Christmas Ham.
All livestock is raised in Eco-Sheds that are temperature controlled for animal welfare. Animals are free to roam in and out of sheds. This minimises stress on animals and results in ultimately superior ham products.
Pastoral Hams follow a traditional process, with hams trimmed by master-trained butchers. The hams are then cured for two days and then smoked using birchwood. This infuses the hams with a subtle smoke taste.
Once this processing has been completed, each ham is then quality checked, and vacuum packaged to ensure hams keep in optimal condition. When packed, the hams have a use-by date of around mid-January.
Available for pre-order over next 2 weeks ONLY
