✨ The golden goodness starts right here.

There’s something incredibly rewarding about digging up something we’ve grown and transforming it into what I think is the best turmeric latte paste I’ve ever had.

Every time a customer orders one, I see the whole journey behind that cup.

The planting, the lush green leaves, the beautiful flowers, the leaves slowly dying back as the turmeric matures… and finally, that golden goodness making its way into your drink.

So much time, care and love goes into something that might take just a few minutes to enjoy.

And that’s what makes it special.

Small-batch. Farm-grown. Made with intention. 💛

Shiitake mushrooms 8 ways.

Along with daikon, shiitake is one of my favourite things. 🍄

And luckily, we get a delivery of beautiful fresh shiitake every Friday.

At Raven Place, we use them 8 ways.

You can buy them fresh or dehydrated to add to your pantry staples.

We make shiitake kimchi

You can choose to add shiitake to your miso soup, adding that beautiful deep, savoury flavour.

They form the stock base for our homemade sauce which goes on our crispy tallow fried Agedashi tofu.

We add them into our handmade gyoza filling. 🥟

And then there’s my favourite…shiitake tsukudani.

Tsukudani is a traditional Japanese sweet-and-savoury condiment made by slowly simmering ingredients until they become rich, concentrated and full of umami.

We make ours two ways.

One is a little chewier, the perfect addition to our bowls.

And the other is cooked a little further until it becomes more crystallised and concentrated, which makes the most delicious filling for an onigiri riceball.

One mushroom. So many ways.

Daikon dreaming: One of my 2016 visions for Raven Place is coming to life 🌱 Every vegetable, herb and flower in the garden has a place on our menu or in the products we make. If not, we simply dont grow it.

One of the vegetables I’m most excited about is daikon. Daikon is my favourite veggie and has such a beautiful ability to transform. Fermented, simmered or freshly grated, it brings something completely different to every dish.

🥬 Daikon Kimchi: naturally fermented for that perfect balance of crunch, tang and flavour.

🍲 Daikon Miso Soup: simmered until tender in our comforting homemade miso soup.

And new to the menu…
🍽️ Agedashi Dofu: gluten-free crispy tofu, served with our homemade Japanese dashi stock and finished with freshly grated daikon on top.

This is what paddock-to-plate means to me. Growing with intention, harvesting at its peak, and making sure every crop has a purpose.

KOTODAMA - @toki_ko.kollective reminded me of the Japanese word “kotodama” 言霊 directly translated, it means “spirit of words”, use words to manifest your future.

Half-assing my dreams is something I don’t do. I have an unwavering belief in myself and the grit, and help from my family, to chase the vision I’ve set. Not because it’s easy, but because I never want to look back wondering, “What if ?” I work on my Kotodama regularly and ensure one foot is in front of the next towards my vision.

At the start of 2026, I shared a reel, my vision, to ensure my Kotodama was in motion:
🌱 A true paddock-to-van food experience.
🤝 Meaningful local collaborations.
♻️ Raising the bar on sustainability.
🚐 A new van.
⭐️Celebrating local makers
📲 Start selling my products online
💪 Keep getting stronger

Halfway through the year…

✔️ Our own daikon, shallots and more are growing.
✔️ Collaborations with @cbbc.beer @limpinwoodlayers @wildbnb_wildlife_habitat @savourthetweed continues and our new @worthyblooms
✔️ Home-compostable cups by @compostablealt , a new waste rubbish system, and chased a sustainability award but didn’t win.
✔️ The new van is here thanks to @foodtrailerking
✔️ Celebrating local makers @awanatural_soap @green_tumbs_ceramics @tanjivanliving @mattersoftheheart_creative
✔️ Working with a food scientist to tick every box to start online sales.
✔️ Showing up consistently and finding muscles I never knew existed at @ridgefitness_

There have been endless setbacks, delays, and plenty of moments where it would’ve been easier to ease off.

But my vision stayed the same.

Now it’s time to do what we love most, serve even more delicious meals from the new van, get them out faster, and add a few exciting new menu items.

If you’ve got an idea, suggestion, or something you’d love to see on the menu, let us know. 💚

We will be getting our new signage in place so we apologise for any inconvenience caused in the interim.

When you watch APEX and then think everyone will order a Karaage Bowl like this 😂 little late to the trend, but never mind… was fun making it 🤩

@bashiskitchen_kosukeshiiba is a local Japanese vegan chef at @cabasocial and became infamous for his dance at Caba Headland. When we had the idea for this new reel, we knew Kosuke would embrace it and run with it… that he did!!
Thank you for joining in and having a laugh with us Kosuke!

Two plants I’m grateful for in our garden: comfrey and vetiver.

Big day in the garden weeding and chop-and-dropping. A wonderful technique i learnt from Rachael. Today I snipped both these plants and covered our beds, feeding the soil with an endless supply of mulch. The best part? They just keep growing back, so they keep giving.

🌿 Comfrey is one of nature’s powerhouse plants. It’s famous for being a dynamic accumulator, pulling nutrients up from deep in the soil to feed the garden. It’s also been used traditionally as a medicinal herb, earning the nickname “knitbone” because of its long history of supporting the healing of bones, sprains and bruises.

🌾 Vetiver is our natural engineering solution. Its roots can grow around 3 metres deep, making it incredible for stabilising slopes and preventing erosion. We’re using it as a living retaining wall here at Raven Place, holding soil in place while building resilience into the landscape.

These 2 plants improve the soil, support biodiversity, protect the land, and just keep giving season after season.

That’s living systems in action.

At the 2025 @savourthetweed I had the opportunity to hear @sammysauls speak about the wonderful story behind @thebreadsocial and I’ve reflected on that many times.

Sam spoke about creating more than a bakery. He spoke about building relationships with growers, millers, suppliers, staff and community, and about the role food can play in strengthening those connections.

He said:

If you support one farmer well enough, you eventually support their neighbour.

Support enough neighbours, and you strengthen a community.

Strengthen enough communities, and you build a more resilient food system.

Every loaf carries a story of care, connection and support for regional producers.

The bread becomes more than food. It becomes a link between the people growing it, the people making it, and the people sharing it around a table.

We’re so proud to serve @thebreadsocial at Raven Place from today and are grateful to @cabasocial for allowing us to pick up!

Pop in for one of our dreamy double cheese, @limpinwoodlayers pasture raised egg, Kimchi Toasties.
