Food + Me = Life

Here is a gallery to show case my best work and journey through life in food. Hi all my name is Robyn Joynt and I am a lover of food, it is MY LIFE! Brought up on a farm in the South Waikato, New Zealand. I have always been surrounded by an abundance of food that was home grown had soul, flavour, passion and was driven with love and a welcoming heart. Good food and drink creates a powerful connection with people, place, family, friends and makes a community. Food enlightens all senses and elevates the mood of many. To me food is more than a energy, FOOD IS LIFE and makes up a large part of community. People who collectively appreciate small things providing a unique well rounded passionate, warming experience. Having a relationship that’s built on common ground which enables me to give something and gain plenty in return. Building a community through food. Follow my blog: http://soulfoodie.net/

Success!! First time making infused oil and boy this packs a punch of flavour!! Recipe: 1 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh thyme stalk and all, rind of 1/2 lemon, 4 garlic cloves crushed and 6 peppercorns. Method: in small pot combine all ingredients, gently heat on low for 10 minutes. Cool and pour into sterilized jar. Perfect for marinades, frying meats, browning veges anything really.
