Winter porridge - Geelong Style

I’m so excited about the next few days of holidays, this time of year always reminds me of cool mornings, gum trees, smoke from a fire and lots of cups of tea.


Food seems to be on the addenda at the moment in my mind and my favourite porridge recipe for the cold mornings comes from a house with too many different types of wall papers, on the waterfront in Geelong along with a few good friends on a balcony.


Geelong Style Porridge
1 cup of oats

1 pinch of salt

½ apple sliced up thinly

¼ cup sultanas/goji berries

1 teaspoon of cinnamon
2 cups of soy milk

½ cup of water (if required)

¼ cup of chopped walnuts/almonds + Honey to serve



Place all ingredients in a pot, bring to the boil, simmer till creamy (add more water/soy if not creamy enough), pour into beautiful big bowls, add honey + almonds and extra soy to serve so it looks like the porridge is an oaty island.


Serve with soup spoon and sometimes a whole lot of brown sugar.
