One Ingredient – Sweet and Savoury… Quinoa
One ingredient, two dishes, one sweet and one savoury. My ingredient? Quinoa. Yep, quinoa. I can picture Pauly now, sitting there in his spa bath after drinking three too many ciders, a trained monkey offering him a Cuban cigar as he types this damning word on his Hunter S. Thompson-esque typewriter… Q U I N…

How to get a guy horizontal part 1 (Paul’s caul)
How to get a guy in bed One of our many followers/disciples has raised the question of ‘what dish to cook to get a guy in bed?’ so as I seemingly have more knowledge in this area Graeme has flung the question over to me. Now I’m not saying I’ve had first hand knowledge of…

Cheats Apple Strudel-Hoffen
CHEATS APPLE STRUDEL-HOFFEN Why would I want to go and call it a “cheats” apple strudel-hoffen? And what’s the hoffen part all about?

Pauls Caul… caramelised pineapple with lemongrass and palm sugar icecream, and other ramblings
“Paul’s Caul” is a segment written by fellow chef, friend and mentor Paul Mac. He’s an all round nice guy. He pats little fury animals and all sorts of shit. He could be your friend. Unless you are a bit “special” (was that PC? Yep. Great) in which case he will spot your “special ability”…

Five more things to do with vegetables… Paul’s caul

BEER MINI DEGO – FINAL COURSE So it’s left upon my shoulders to complete this epic saga that has been ‘the beer diaries’. I’m kinda sad that it is ending…. I’m sure I’ll get over it though. Don’t need to call the helpline or anything… I am going to start with a small history lesson.…

a damn fine mess
The Eton mess Like the lips of a beautiful woman, simple yet complex…. Like the red lacey bra that’s on your bedroom floor in the morning, when you can still smell the sweet, sweet scent of success… Like a simple child, who has some how avoided natural selection, and bluffed his way to the top……

raspberry cheesecake to impress you friends… or the lady friend that the chocolate pud didn’t work on
Raspberry cheesecake to impress your friends. Everyone likes cheese cake, right? Remember the one that your mum or nana would make cheesecake when you were younger? Biscuity base, cheesey middle and raspberry or passionfruit jelly on top. Free childhood memories for all right there… So recently I was helping a young padiwan…
