Pasta Amatriciana… and thank you for Bacon Week
Sugo all’amatriciana (amatriciana sauce for all us English speaking, less sexy sounding peeps) is a classic Italian sauce hailing from the town of Amatrice. Why did I think I should tell you that? I don’t know, but I did, so you can thank me later. This is the side story that will inadvertently lead me…

Sri Lankan Pork and Black Pepper Curry
I have had difficulty coming up with an amusing anecdote to go with this one… no stories of drunken shenanigans with carnival folk… no nothing really. I guess I could tell you about my day but as it has only consisted of mowing the lawn and putting a lemongrass plant in the ground I…

The WTF Hotdog

A Mexi feast that would make a Mexican proud… possibly… i don’t know any Mexicans I can ask…
Recently, at my place of paid employment, I cooked a Mexican fiesta for anyone and everyone to try… providing they had a burro for transportation, a fake big black moustache and the fare of six silver pesos to pay their way. After a day of sending out feast after feast after proud gringo Mexicano…

Pork fillet with lentils, tomato and salsa verde
The rains are coming down noisily in our (yeah, we’ve claimed them now) not-so-long-ago tranquil Northern Rivers. There has still been a lot of heat getting about the place, but right now the heavens they are emptying their bladder that’s for sure. These rains have made me think back to a dinner I cooked up…
