Flatbread for a bastard kebab
This is my flatbread recipe. It’s really good for a kebab or gyros. So what I will do is give you the recipe for the flatbread and then it’s up to you what you put in it. My suggestion would be to look to all of your already favourite flatbread wrapped foods ie. the doner…

(Mostly) grilled pork belly with orange & herbs
If you are into pointing fingers and letting people know how righteous your opinion is, you might call this out as a little bit of a cheaty type method of grilling. Well, that’s fine because I guess it is cheating. I’m not taking steroids or threatening competitors or even competing in a sport, but that…

Grilled lamb ribs
When my brothers and I were well younger, like knee high to a grasshopper or possibly back when pussy was a kitten, my Ma would throw a barbecue every now and then and if there was something that we were guaranteed at her barbecues was that she would be cooking a pile of lamb ribs…

Potato, chorizo and capsicum on the fire
This is something that I first made as a side dish for a little barbecue, but as I ate it I definitely had the feeling that it would do damn fine for itself as the main event… the star attraction… the big kahuna. So, I guess that bit of information is so you can work…

Okra with tomato and spices
I dare say you either love or hate okra. Everyone I know either loves it or hates it, and that is enough of a focus group based experiment for me to deduce that you will be in one of these categories too. Either way is fine by me – I’m always going to want you…

Deer and beer chilli con venison
This is the sort of one pot meal that is going to look past your lack of culinary training (and/or talent) and end up being both tasty and delicious, and ready and raring to impress all your friends. All it really needs is a little time to simmer away and get sexy. Just like the…

Smoked duck breast with Thai red curry
This in an incarnation of a dish I had on the menu when I was the chef at a Thai restaurant in my past life. I am a big fan of the combination of the deliciousness of duck, red curry for the heat, lychees for a little bit of that exotic sweetness and Thai basil…

Hokkaido potato salad
This is a potato salad I first tried in Sapporo, Hokkaido, but as I would venture further around the island of Japan I realized it is a potato salad that is everywhere. Every izakaya, every supermarket, literally everywhere. But I sampled it in Hokkaido first so I just called it Hokkaido potato salad. The potato…

Thai three flavour crazy sauce
*This is an old story about the time I introduced my friend Paul to this three flavour sauce for the first time. I like the story so it’s here for y’all today* I awoke this morning to the sight that some rude bastard, probably a local pub owner or something similar, had dumped a shit…
