I'm up early and off over the hills to help my neighbours Frankie and Dom milk their goats. I love sourcing fresh local ingredients for my cooking, and it doesn't get much more local than this.

I can't wait to get the fresh, sweet milk back to my cabin to make haloumi. It's an easy cheese to make and even more delicious grilled. I've invited Dom and Frankie over to try it, and I'm planning to serve it barbecued on skewers with prawns and strips of zucchini.
