Oranje Tractor Farm is home to a micro-boutique vineyard, orchard, house and cellar door near Albany on the pristine south coast of Western Australia. The owners, Pamela Lincoln and Murray Gomm, acquired a cow paddock in 1996 and have gradually, organically - and with the help of many hundreds of guests known as woofers - converted it into a productive, green oasis.Written by Pamela Lincoln - a Jill of many trades, master (or should that be mistress?) of none. Well, actually, she does have a Master's degree in health and is also a nutritionist, winemaker and home-cook, and probably a gastronomist, having recently completed a diploma of gastronomy in France. Pamela has started farmers markets in her home town of Albany, Western Australia and has toured the wine regions of USA and Europe, courtesy of a couple of wonderful awards as well as her own, regular independent travels. One was the Churchill Fellowship in 2002, and another the Vin de Champagne Award in 2004. Since 2000, Pamela and her partner (and husband) Murray have hosted hundreds of backpackers under the Workaway and WWOOFing schemes (Willing Workers On Organic Farms) at their lovingly DIY-built passive solar home nestled among the extensive organic garden and surrounding vineyard. She has written for publication in peer-reviewed journals, and has written countless funding submissions for a variety of audiences. Pamela also had a radio show on Food & Wine in the late 90s, but this is her first shot at writing a cookbook. She hopes you enjoy it as much as she has writing it.The book is divided into seasons, each featuring some stories and delicious recipes. The majority of recipes are those exchanged with the author by their guests - the woofers - and enjoyed around a convivial table. All recipes are tested and have been replicated at least twice by the author prior to publication. Most are not complex so are suitable for day-to-day preparation.
