Ingredients
1kg truss tomatoes, cut into quarters
½ bulb garlic, cloves separated, skin on
5 fresh thyme sprigs, keep stalks
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of ground black pepper
1L salt-reduced vegetable stock
1 bunch fresh basil leaves, reserve some for garnish
Fresh sourdough or crusty bread, to serve
Equipment
Oven Tray
Medium Saucepan
Recipe
Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees celsius. Put tomatoes, garlic and thyme in a large oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss and place in the oven for 30 minutes or until tomatoes are soft.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Remove thyme stalks and garlic skins by squeezing garlic out from the skin.
Transfer the tomatoes, garlic and any juices to a medium saucepan. Add veggie stock. Bring to the boil and let simmer for 20-25 minutes or until tomatoes start to break down. Take off the heat and add basil leaves.
Using a stick blender, blend until smooth. Put the saucepan back on low heat uncovered and simmer gently for 20 minutes until soup slightly thickens.
Serve in bowls and garnish with reserved basil leaves, cracked black pepper and fresh sourdough.

Recipe by Accredited Practising Dietitian Georgia Houston from GH Nutrition.
Ingredients
1 cup orange marmalade
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 orange, juiced
1 star anise
1 tsp ground cinnamon
6kg ham leg, skin removed
Whole cloves, for studding
Equipment
SMALL saucepan
Large Baking Dish
Recipe
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the marmalade, maple syrup, orange juice, star anise and cinnamon in a small saucepan over high heat and whisk to combine. Bring to the boil and let simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened slightly. Set aside to cool.
While the glaze is simmering, score the ham fat in a diamond pattern. Insert a clove into each diamond. Wrap the ham hock with foil (this prevents it from burning). Place ham on a greased rack in a large baking dish lined with baking paper. Brush the ham with half of the glaze and bake in the oven for 1 hour, brushing with the remaining glaze every 15 minutes, until the ham is golden and caramelised. When finished, remove from the oven and slice.
