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.

*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…

Asian Mexican grilled corn salad
I’m a big fan of corn. But who isn’t, I guess. I’m also a big fan of the Mexican sweet corn salad, esquites. But everyone loves that one too. This recipe is just me concocting a different incarnation of said Mexican corn salad so I don’t overconsume and then fall out of love with the…

Grilled tumeric chicken
Fresh tumeric and kafir lime leaf is truly a beautiful combination. Like peaches and cream, the fat kid and cake, Winston Churchill and his cigar or Luke Skywalker and his sister. I fell in love with the combination pretty quickly after taking up tenure as head chef at a Thai restaurant in the Northern Rivers…

Smoked brisket pate with the leftover brisket from your weekend cook
This is a little something I came up with just the other day to use a little leftover brisket from the weekend cook. I am never disappointed with a pile of smoked brisket leftovers and I am happy to consume that brisket in a myriad of ways, but however many ways I enjoy eating brisket…

New school rolled beef roast in the smoker
This is the old school, poor mans rolled beef roast. A piece of meat traditionally cut from the belly and/or lower end of the brisket and rolled for slice-abilty. This is the kind of beef roast my ma would cook up. Except hers would be sans every herb, garlic, spice and probably salt and pepper…
