A handmade gift or decoration is a great way to say happy Easter with a personal touch. Take a walk down our stationery and party needs aisles for a little inspiration and everything you need to create a gorgeous gift.

GET INSPIREDeaster crafts

Hand-painted eggsA beautiful way to decorate your Easter table

or Easter gift basket teamed with your favourite

Clover Hill flowers.

1Place 12 eggs in a large saucepan

and cover with cold water. Place over

a moderate heat and bring to the boil.

Remove from the heat immediately.

Cover and set aside to cool. Refrigerate

until required.

2Bring the eggs to room temperature.

Paint the eggs with a base coat of white

or cream acrylic craft paint (available from

craft stores). Egg cups or mini muffin

trays will assist with holding the eggs

steady while painting. When the paint is

touch dry, turn the eggs upside down

and paint the other side.

3Paint the eggs the required base colour

in acrylic craft paint. We used pretty

pastels such as pale blue, pink, lavender.

Set aside to dry.

4Decorate the painted eggs with

complimentary colours. For dots and

flowers use a cotton bud dipped in

acrylic craft paint. Press onto the egg

to make the design. For stripes and

crosses use different sized paint brushes.

Masking tape cut and pressed onto the

egg will help ensure your stripes are

straight and even. Remove the tape as

the paint has dried and continue with

the next stripe. You can make a bunny

by dipping the ball of your finger into the

paint and pressing onto the egg to make

a finger print. Make another print to form

the bunnies’ head. Allow the fingerprints

to dry then add the ears, nose and eyes

using a fine paint brush.

These eggs are for decoration only

and not for consumption. Egg shells

are porous and will absorb residue of

the paint.

FRE0409p014-015craft.indd 14FRE0409p014-015craft.indd 14 20/2/09 1:57:32 PM20/2/09 1:57:32 PM

1Select a sheet of Tudor A4 Coloured Paper. Fold it in half exactly and then fold it in half

again. Run your fingers along the fold to make the edges sharp. You should now have a

card to work on like the ones pictured above.

2Unfold the paper and place on a craft mat or another flat surface suitable for cutting on.

The bottom right-hand rectangle of the paper will be the front of your card. Trace eggs,

bunnies or any other design you like onto this part of the paper. It’s best to use a coloured

pencil that is close to the colour of your paper. Once you have made sure the design is in

the right position, you can start to carefully cut it out with a craft safety cutter.

3Choose a decorative wrapping paper or print out a design from your computer. Cut the

decorative paper into a rectangle 14cm x 9cm. Glue this rectangle behind your cut-out

design on the card with Bostik Glustik. Smooth out any bubbles and set aside to dry.

You can also decorate your designs with Bic Kids Glitter Glue for an special touch.

4To make the basket weave card, place the front of the card onto a craft mat or another

flat surface suitable for cutting on. Using a ruler, draw eight 6cm lines crossways at least

1cm apart on the centre of the front of the card. For best results, leave a 3cm border at

both ends. Carefully cut the lines using a craft safety cutter. Take a contrasting sheet of

A4 coloured paper and cut out four 12cm x 1cm strips. Weave these strips of paper into

the front of the card. Trim the ends if necessary. Happy Easter!

HOW TO ROASTMake a cut through the outer shell to release the

heat and pressure while cooking. Then cook for

about 25 minutes on medium heat in the oven or

grill. Turn after 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and wrap in a tea towel

for about 5 minutes. Remove the shell and

the inner skin while still warm and then they

are good to eat!

TASTE TESTThe simplest way to eat chestnuts is to roast, grill or barbecue them. Chestnuts can also be boiled or puréed. When cooked, they have a sweet, nutty flavour and similar texture to potatoes. Chestnuts are versatile and delicious in desserts, chocolates, cakes, fillings, stuffings, salads and soups. Chestnuts are also great in gravy, stir-fries or mashed potatoes and casseroles.

The delicate waft of

roasted chestnuts

drifting from

the kitchen is

irresistible. Sweet,

nutty and oh-so

moorish, Wandi Valley Chestnuts grower

John Scambelloni loves this time of year

– after 15 years on their farm in Victoria, his

wife Lyn certainly knows how to roast their

freshly harvested chestnuts to perfection.

“I just put the chestnuts in a pan over low

heat with a little olive oil, sprinkle with a little

garlic salt and chilli flakes and, all you need

is a nice glass of wine! “ she says.

Chestnuts are so versatile thanks to their

high starch content. “You can use them for

sweet or savoury dishes and, because they

have a similar texture and flavour to potato,

they’re great for thickening stews and

casseroles,” explains Lyn.

While it was Lyn’s Italian-born father-in-

law Vince Scambelloni, who planted the

first chestnuts in 1972, her husband John

and his brothers, Joe and Louie, (pictured

left) now look after the 8000 chestnut trees.

“When Vince found this beautiful property

in the Wandiligong Valley, he realised it was

the perfect climate for chestnuts because

we get plenty of rain and sun,” explains Lyn.

Others saw the same opportunity and the

Scambelloni’s are now one of 25 family-

owned growers that supply chestnuts to

Woolworths supermarkets.

Chestnuts grow in a husk with a prickly

casing and, as they start to ripen, the husk

cracks and the nuts fall on the ground.

Picked up by hand, they’re taken to the

packing shed to be cleaned, sorted into

sizes and transported to Woolworths

supermarkets around the country. But

kilograms of chestnuts also find their way

to Lyn’s kitchen. “We roast them and freeze

them so that we can have them all year

round. They’re so diverse – chestnut soup

is an absolute delicacy and you can even

mill them and use the flour for baking.”

FRESH TIPSAvailable: From March to June.

To buy: The hard outer shell should be

glossy and firm to touch.

To store: Chestnuts must be stored in an

airtight container or plastic bag in the fridge

at 0ºC to remain fresh.

Chicken salad with chestnuts & pearsPreparation: 5 minutes


Heat 1 tbs olive oil in a frying pan over

medium heat. Add 8 sage leaves and cook

for 1 minute. Add 4 slices pancetta and

cook until crisp. Remove sage and pancetta

and increase heat to medium-high. Add 2

chicken breast fillets and cook on both sides

for about 6 minutes until golden and cooked

through. Remove from pan and cool slightly

before slicing. Add 20g butter to pan and

heat over high heat. Core and slice 2 pears,

add to pan and cook until golden. Sprinkle

with 1 tbs sugar and turn pears over so the

sugar can melt. Add 8 shelled chestnuts,

quartered and cook for 1-2 minutes until

golden and glossy. Deglaze pan with 1 tbs

white balsamic vinegar and remove from

heat. Arrange rocket leaves, washed on

serving plates. Top with sliced chicken and

spoon over pears and chestnuts. Top with

crumbled pancetta and sage leaves.

FRESH TIPTo boil chestnuts, place them in a pan of cold water, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Wrap the cooked chestnuts in a tea towel. Remove outer shell and inner skin while still warm.

FlorentinesPreparation: 10 minutes

Cooking: 20 minutes

Makes: 24

Preheat oven to 170°C. Line 2 baking trays

with baking paper. Place 2 cups cornflakes

into a bowl and roughly crush. Add ½ cup

sultanas, 115g slivered almonds, 100g

mixed glace cherries, chopped and 2 tbs

plain flour and stir to combine. Pour over

⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk and

mix well. Spoon mixture onto trays, leaving

space between each for spreading. Flatten

slightly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.

Cool on trays for 5 minutes then transfer to

a wire rack and cool completely. Meanwhile,

break 200g Woolworths Select Dark

Cooking Chocolate into pieces and melt in a

heatproof bowl over a saucepan half-filled with

simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn’t

touch the water) and use a metal spoon to

stir until smooth. When biscuits are cold,

spread the flat side with chocolate and place

chocolate side up onto wire rack until set.

White chocolate & pistachio strudelPreparation: 15 minutes


Break 100g Woolworths Select White

Cooking Chocolate into pieces and process

in a food processor with 80g shelled

pistachios until finely chopped. Add 250g

fresh ricotta, finely grated rind of 1 orange,

2 tbs honey, 2 egg yolks and 1 tbs plain

flour and process until blended. Preheat

oven to 220°C. Line a baking tray with baking

paper. Brush 4 sheets filo pastry with 40g

butter, melted and layer on top of each other.

Position with the short side facing you. Pile

the filling along the short side 5cm in from the

edge and leaving a 4cm gap at the sides. Roll

up halfway, then fold in sides and complete

rolling to the end. Do not roll too tightly as this

will cause the pastry to split during baking.

Transfer to prepared tray and brush with

butter. Using the point of a small sharp knife,

make 4 small incisions in the top to allow the

steam to escape. Bake for 20 minutes until

golden and crisp. Cool for 5 minutes, dust

with 1 tbs icing sugar mixture and cut into

slices. Serve with ice-cream.

kids and bubs

emember the anticipation you

felt as a child in the lead-up

to school holidays? All those

plans and ideas whirling

around in your young mind?

No lessons, schedules or

homework. Time to sleep in, play with friends

and enjoy family outings – bliss!

For some parents, though, it’s a difficult time.

Trying to keep kids occupied and avoiding the

dreaded cry of “I’m bored!” can do your head

in. Referee-ing arguments between siblings

and battling to keep the house tidy. It’s tough.

And what about mums and dads who don’t

have time off from work? This is where

positivity and a bit of planning goes a long

way. For parents taking holiday time to spend

with family, it’s nice to imagine you can just

go with the flow. But, just because you don’t

have to get up early to make lunch boxes,

doesn’t mean you won’t have to find ways

to fill seemingly bottomless tummies with

nutritious meals and snacks. TODDLERS:Some playgroups run during

the school holidays. Check

community noticeboards,

local newspapers and ask

other parents if there’s

anything happening in your

neighbourhood.

Discover new parks and

playgroups. Attend story time at

the local library and ask other

mums and dads whether they’d

like to arrange play dates.

And remember, whether they

are big kids or littlies, school

holidays should be a time of

fun and relaxation, a chance

to re-charge and let off steam.

PRIMARY SCHOOL AGE KIDS:Primary school age kids: Many of the

activities mentioned on page 38 still interest

school-age children, who are also more likely

to have formed friendships with classmates

and neighbours, so play dates are likely to be

less formal. Parks, beaches and swimming

pools are great places to meet up with friends

who live further afield. This is a good time to

teach children some basic household chores,

such as vacuuming, sweeping and general

tidying. Make it fun and you may find you’ve

scored yourself a helper or two.

kids and bubs

ROUGH STUFFPlay dates with young children inevitably involve some disputes. Some kids don’t play fair, won’t share or are too rough. Others are just bad losers. Before banning future play with such children, discuss conflict resolution with your own child and let them talk about their feelings. If the problem arises at the next gathering, talk to the child’s parents and diplomatically relay the conversation you had at home. For example, “Emma says she likes Jack very much, but she told me he hits and showed me a bruise.” Keep a close eye on the proceedings and if things don’t run smoothly, opt out.

Independence dayAt some stage, the big sleep-over question

arises. Tweens are beginning to find

friendships more important. Many parents

find this stressful, as their child begins to

forge their own way in the world and expects

more freedom. Follow your instincts. If you

know the other child’s parents and feel

comfortable allowing a sleep-over, fine. But

don’t be pressured. No one knows your child

like you do, so you be the judge on issues of

responsibility and supervision.

TWEENS AND TEENS:Older kids often occupy themselves with books, techie gadgets and telephone calls. To encourage brain-engaging activity, suggest a library visit, a trip to an art gallery or museum, or perhaps catch come culture. There’s so much more to life than surfing the web and texting your mates, we just have to lead the way.

❋ Log on www.woolworths.com.au and follow

the links to our Fresh Food Kids website

for kids and parents. You’ll find some easy

recipes and ideas to get the kids involved in

cooking. They can have fun and learn about

healthy eating at the same time.

❋ If you’re planning on travelling these

holidays, pack snacks and drinks for the trip

in a cooler bag or esky and be sure to take

some age appropriate portable activities,

such as colouring-in, DVDS and CDs,

games or books.

❋ At home, start an “odds and ends” box for

craft. Keep cereal boxes and cardboard

rolls, foil, pretty paper and old magazines.

❋ Buy some sticky-tape, pipe-cleaners, glitter,

glue, Blu tack, coloured pom-poms and let

little imaginations run wild.

❋ Get some fabric dye and rubber bands

to have a go at tie-dyeing old clothes or

pillow slips.

❋ On days spent at home, make a firm

decision about the amount of screen time

each child will be allowed and stick to it.

❋ That means computer games, mobile

phone and internet usage, as well as

television and DVDs.

❋ When time is up, suggest a board game,

outside play or reading.

❋ Working parents will find there are countless

organisations offering vacation care

activities, from acting and art classes to

science workshops.

❋ Many schools offer fantastic programs, as

do youth clubs, sporting bodies and private

businesses.

PIECE OF THE

DO

YOUKNOW

WHEN ENOUGH IS ENOUGH? DR ROSEMARY STANTON

REPORT

S.

IIt’s easy to blame excess kilograms on too

much junk food and too little exercise, but

the size of the portions we eat at every meal

and snack is also vitally important. Serving sizes

of foods like soft drinks, yoghurt, crisps and most

snack foods have grown dramatically over the years. What

once would have fed the family is now often sold as an

individual snack. Cereals in huge packets, giant containers

of juice or ice cream, big jars of pasta sauce and other

super-sized family products all encourage us to eat more.

You got served!Plates, bowls, mugs and glasses are now also super-

sized. Several studies from Cornell University USA, first

published in 2005, show that the bigger the plate or glass

in front of us, the more we consume – usually without

even realising it. One study found that movie-goers given

really big buckets of popcorn ate about 50 per cent

more than when they were given smaller buckets. Later

questioning revealed that they were totally unaware they

had eaten more from the big containers. Even a larger

serving spoon encourages us to take more – just see what

happens when you put a small spoon next to rich foods

like cream or ice-cream next time you have guests.

DownsizeThe good news is that smaller plates and glasses can help

you eat and drink less without feeling deprived.

Use a big bowl for tossed salads and veggies, but

consider downsizing everywhere else. Amanda Clark,

author of Portion Perfection, says many people zone out

when given lists of dietary options, but respond well to

photographs of appropriate serves. Among her examples

of ‘portion’ dinners, is a steak about the size of a pack

of cards with three-quarters to 1 cup baby potatoes and

peas or three-quarters to 1 cup stir-fried chicken with the

same amount of cooked rice or noodles – always adding

lots of veggies.

FRESH TIPFill at least half your dinner plate with veggies, one quarter with protein such as meat, fish, chicken, tofu, legumes, eggs and the last quarter with carbs like pasta, rice or potatoes.

We stick to traditional methods

to create the perfect pasta.

Many of the Woolworths Select pastas are made using the

traditional bronze extruded method that was started in Naples,

Italy over 150 years ago. This means the pasta has a rougher,

more textured feel, so the sauce clings better and the pasta

absorbs more flavour. Perfecto!
