Rustic Treasures




We are a small family from Doncaster, England who have come to enjoy all things rustic, handmade and thrifty! In fact frugal living has really become a huge part of our day to day routines!

We have recently started to create items such as handmade jewellery, organic bodycare products and using logs we find from the ground to create various table decorations.

This blog has been created to show you what we have been making, our ideas, what we are up to in general and what inspires us - that little part of our life filled with rustic treasures.

Silver Curry Plant

Just found this on culinaryherbguide.com - confirmation of happy cooking times ahead :-)

The curry plant from southern Europe is a somewhat new addition to list of herbal plants. The sweet curry scent of it’s silver green leaves has cause it recent popularity among adventurous cooks.

It can also be added to dressings to season salads or it can be used to flavor meats, such as chicken (tuck it under the skin of the poultry during cooking).

The curry plant should not be confused with curry leaves that grow on the curry tree. Although curry leaves are also used to season various foods, the plant providing these leaves is considerably larger and is a different plant entirely.

Add the leaves to soups, stews, steamed vegetables, rice dishes and pickles for a mild curry flavor. Remove sprig before serving.
