The KaiKai Book

Take a Walk on Country with Uncle Lyndon Davis, Gubbi Gubbi First Nations Elder, as he generously shares Traditional knowledge and wisdom regarding some of the Sunshine Coast’s most iconic flora species located at Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Gardens.

Dr Greg Emerson talks with Kaizi Gutchen and his daughter from their farm in the Atherton Tablelands of Northern Queensland about his traditional preparation and use of coconut milk and oils. Kaizi uses wild foraged coconuts and prepares the oil using methods passed from generation to generation. Greg discusses some of the problems with scientific research on coconut oil and with blood testing for lipids.

On a farm in Eus, France, where the sun shines 320 days out of the year, Etienne and Perrine Schaller grow lemon caviar. This special fruit, native to Australia, is known in the English-speaking world as finger lime. Lemon caviar is full of beads of deliciousness that look just like caviar. And, like caviar, it’s pricey. The Schallers sell theirs to top chefs like Daniel Lutrand, who invites us to Le Pastis Restaurant in Montpellier, France, to sample one of his elegant dishes. #LemonCaviar #france #citrus
