About Me

My photo
Back in the 80s, I wrote a book called "Voyaging on a Small Income", which was published and sold astonishingly well. It’s become almost a “classic” and is probably why you’ve found this site! I’ve been living aboard and sailing since the 70s. Nine different boats have been home, sometimes for several months, sometimes for many years. I love the way of life, the small footprint and being close to Nature. I’m a great fan of junk rig and having extensive experience with both gaff and bermudian rig, I wouldn’t have any other sail on my boat. It’s ideal as a voyaging rig, but also perfect for the coastal sailing that I now do. I’d rather stay in New Zealand, not having to keep saying goodbye to friends, than go voyaging, these days. Between 2015 and 2021, I built the 26ft "FanShi", the boat I now call home. For the last 45 years or so, my diet of choice has been vegetarian and is now almost vegan. I love cooking and particularly enjoy having only myself to please. I am combining all these interests (apart, perhaps, from junk rig!) in this blog. I hope you enjoy it. I also have other blogs: www.anniehill.blogspot.com and http://fanshiwanderingandwondering.wordpress.com

Yoghurt and herb dip

Serves 4
 
1/2 cup Greek-style yoghurt
salt and pepper

Method:
  • Simply combine the yoghurt, herbs, salt and pepper together in a bowl. Let them stand for at least a quarter of an hour for the flavours to combine. Check the seasoning and serve with crudités.
Variations:
  • Use fresh herbs if any are available.
  • Use half-and-half or all mayonnaise, especially if it’s home-made.
  • Use 1 tbsp Dijon mustard instead of the herbs.
  • Leave out the herbs and combine with finely grated cheese.
  • Try all of the above ideas together!
  • Leave out Annie’s Mixed Herbs, and add 1 tsp sun-dried tomato purée and 1/2 tsp basil.
  •  Substitute mint for Annie's Mixed Herbs and chop in a small cucumber.
  • If you have any on board, dice a few pepperdews and mix those in.  Leave out or reduce the amount of herbs.
