Perfect smoked and marinated octopus for all occasions
Look, this is a bit of a process but if you love octopus as much as I do or even if you like to dip your toe into the pond of the octopus aficionado, you will find this reward of the end product far out ways the trials and tribulations of said effort. A really…

Spicy fish on toast
This is a pretty good little entrée. It is actually a really good little entrée. It’s kinda flash but also very easy to make so I guess it fits your MO perfectly. You could certainly put this fish on mini toasts for a lovely canape too. SPICY FISH ON TOAST (for 4 as an entrée)…

Horseradish mayonnaise and king prawns
This is a simple little recipe for a simple little world. Bah. I wish. For the simple little world, that is. I can guarantee this will be the simplest dinner you’ve made since sand pit mud pie. I would say this recipe is so simple that it will need to be relegated to the league…

Prawn toasts

It was a pretty good party too, ticking all of the boxes a good party should probably tick; there was entertainment, good folks offering a good variety of conversation, brain holiday fluid and, of course, catering. The catering was all very delicious, but I remember the prawn toast making me…

Singapore noodles with prawns
Sometimes I forget how much I love noodles. Especially Singapore noodles. Oh, how I love Singapore noodles. This is pretty easy, mid-week cooking that is tasty as fuck and can certainly be toyed with as much as your sweet little heart desires. This time ‘round I had some prawns from the ocean that is just…

Grilled red emperor with coriander chimichurri sauce
Chimichurri is now a pretty famous Argentinian steak sauce but I am going to let you in on a little secret today; it is also bloody good on pork, lamb, chicken, seafood and vegetables. There you go – pretty much good for everything. So the total opposite of, say, a corona virus. Today we’re going…
