Easter-ness
I know. I’ve been offline for over a week now and all I have to offer is the same ol’ tale of a man who works in the hospitality industry and is tied to the stoves during holiday periods. A man who loves the customers that demand so much of him during these times. A…

Another day, another cook-off
Another day, another cook-off That’s right, another cook-off in our humble home. Something different, right? Although a good cook-off may be a regular occurrence around these here parts, we have altered the terms with a slight global twist. Or quite literally a twist of the globe. Yes, I had another brilliant idea; we would close…

Chutneys to get you through Christmas and the farmyard worth of leftover meat you may or may not have
Straight into the recipes with this one. I don’t have anything to say about condiments that I haven’t said before. You know I love this shit, but then again who doesn’t like condiments? Condiments with breakfast? Condiments with christmas lunch? Condiments with three days worth of left over meats? Comunists, that’s who doesn’t like condiments and…

Foodisthebestshitever reunion dinner/pissup part 2… Paul’s Caul and a nice spice rub
So Lauren and I have been on holiday for just over a week and have drank and eaten our way around southern Queensland and northern NSW, so would expect us to be well conditioned in the art of drunken eating… well it would seem that assumption was incorrect. Yesterday we arrived in Byron bay and…

Foodisthebestshitever reunion dinner/pissup… part 1. Three flavour crazy sauce

The place looked like a fucking recycling depot. There was ginger beer, wine, various other beers, more wine and…

The race that stopped a nation… and the burger that helped me survive the day…
The Melbourne Cup… and a day when only a burger will do… So there it was. Yesterday was the race that stops a nation. I mean, obviously the nation started up again a minute or two later, but it was that race. I’m sure some kind of four legged equine beast won and I’m also…

Chicken and chorizo… the go to dish at Chateau le Stockdale
Roasted chicken and chorizo. The go-to dish at Chateau le Stockdale, but then, why the hell wouldn’t it be. This is the sort of thing that you could put into the Breville sandwich press and it’s going to come out cracking. Put it on a pizza with cows curd and parsley, in a burger, or…

Feeling saucy…
You saucey little minx… This morning I sent out an APB to my fellow chef and long time friend Pauly regarding a post I wanted to do about my favourite sauces, and inviting him to be part of the spectacular. He cordially accepted my invitation and went on to write an absolute cracker of a…

My lack of recent posts is definitely relative to the arrival of “the duckman”
I know I haven’t posted anything for a week or quite possibly longer… or maybe even less… I couldn’t actually be 100% sure. But there is a valid and just reason for my absence; drinking. I’m not talking about performing the task we all need to complete to keep our body hydrated and there fore…
