Grilled pork belly tacos
Pork belly tacos. This was smoky, grilly-meat-juicy deliciousness. I honestly feel that glowing coals are truly the way to make a piece of pig feel properly loved. The pork belly was rubbed with sea salt and then cooked on the bottom level of the bullet smoker with no water pan at 350 F (180 C)…

Steak and the things I might like to have with it ie. Cafe de Paris butter
Steak is something that is honoured with no particular favourite sauce/dressing for me. It could be something green and herbaceous. Maybe salsa verde or a twangy chimmichurri.

Grilled chicken with Thai flavours and sweet & sour sauce
This dinner was cooked up with a pile of things from our home garden. One of the really good things about living in a sub-tropical region is that a whole heap of the ingredients that might be grown and eaten in South East Asia can also be grown here. Also, to complete the experience, children’s…
