Vietnamese grilled pork ribs with shallot oil
A drum or bullet smoker is perfect for these, or you could use indirect heat in a kettle barbecue. The marinade recipe is per rack of so you can just multiply that by however many racks of ribs you need to satisfy your hunger. Don’t forget you have a calculator on your phone if your…

Easy peasy mac and cheesy
This is a version of macaroni and cheese that is bloody quick and easy. It is simply cooked macaroni in one pot and cheese sauce in another pot and then you get to use your evolved dexterity to pour the cheese sauce over the macaroni and mix it together. That is the simple version. You…

BBQ chicken with romesco sauce
I think this grilled chook is inspired by Spain, possibly what I was thinking might be eaten by a farmer in a little village in the Spanish country side somewhere, and that is absolutely what I wanted my chicken to be cooked like on this day. Also, I really wanted some romesco sauce in my…

Brisket cheesesteak
This is but one of the ways I have made what could be loosely described as a Philly Cheesesteak, or even more honestly described as being only very, very loosely based on the original model Philly Cheesesteak. I have reason to believe that tradition may stipulate that the steak is first thinly sliced and then…

Barbecued pork ribs with lemongrass, chilli & honey
One of the really good things about pork ribs are that they are happy to oblige just about any flavour you could want to put with them. They will sit just as happily in a tomatoey Italian ragu as they would be glistening in a sickly sweet glaze on the grill for a Summery American…

Corn casserole and a really serious lack of corny jokes
This one was absolutely inspired by the corn casserole at Smokin’ Hot and Saucy BBQ joint in Newcastle. They make a very nice corn casserole down there. It kinda reminds me of a wet cornbread licked with a little chilli warmth and happiness and possibly a mother’s smile, so that is what I set out…

Camp oven lamb shanks with peas
I spend a bit of time thinking about how I might be able to get another serve of peas into me. I feel like the amount of time I might spend thinking about the pea is not outrageous in any way though, but probably just the right amount. The pea is worth a thought. The…

Chimichurri
I have made many different versions of chimichurri sauce over the years and I am absolutely cool with that because I feel like this is the kind of sauce that lends itself to s little tweak every now and then, much like a crack heads right eye. Chimichurri a good sauce for whatever type of…

Chilli cucumber salad
This is a story about a little cucumber and chilli salad I have been making of late. This salad prompted more than 1 person to question its origins and even tentatively ask me to jot down a recipe for them. Firstly, I’m sorry but this is not a very good story. Secondly, if you would…
