Spring is turning
into summer in Sydney. Across the
other side of the world, beautiful images of crunchy autumn leaves and giant
thick blueish-green skinned pumpkins are taking centre stage on a number of
blogs. These beautiful images got me inspired to trawl through my photo
archives, back to our last autumn in Sydney.
While many may be
celebrating thanksgiving amongst the falling leaves, autumn in Sydney usually
finds us celebrating Easter. This year, we packed our bags and headed to the
Blue Mountains, about an hour drive from the centre of Sydney. The Blue
Mountains, the village of Leura in particular, is famous for its beautiful,
lush gardens – full of the warm ocher and sienna colours of autumn - with
little splashes of vibrant red here and there. On the upper mountains, the little town of Bilipin is also
very famous for its deliciously crisp and crunchy autumn apples.
Inspired by the
colours of the mountains and its beautiful seasonal delights – pumpkin and
apples, this soup was a feature on our Easter Sunday dinning table. It balances
sweet, savoury, creamy and tangy flavours beautifully – and is a nice start to
a long warming lunch, surrounded by family and friends.
