Prawn and Chorizo Spaghetti that is so damn simple even Niels can make it
I did a fair bit of tossing up as to whether I would be telling you about some of my new friends in the world of food or a crackingly simple prawn and chorizo pasta that is one of my all time faves, a flavour combination I have used in many different applications… except the […]

Seafood chowder-esque type thing in a Vienna loaf
My brother is just about to head back to his humble grotto in Margaret River, Western Australia, after a mammoth stay of two months. That’s right, now I shall be in charge of my own mis en place again… and we will have to do our own washing… I’ll be sad to see him go, […]

Easy Thai yellow curry with fish and prawns for Mother’s Day
Recently events have transpired, things have happened and I have missed a heap of it, or at least maybe fallen a little bit behind in keeping you up to date with what is happening on my side of the proverbial fence. This is because I have been knee deep in the glorious metaphorical shit that […]

Mussels with bacon, apple cider and cream… and introducing “Matty mis en place”
Just yesterday I was going to get some mussels and cook them up for dinner. Mussels with bacon, onion, cider and cream, I thought.

Warm salad of squid, chickpeas, olives, tomato and herbs with nutty za’atar
It is difficult to conjure up a cracking meal with what can be only described as eff all. I am not a magician; I don’t even have the skills to do a basic card trick and I certainly do not possess the powers of alchemy. What is not difficult though, is creating a cracking meal […]

Mussels with chorizo, saffron and tomato… so very simple

There is a picture of a bowl of mussels with a side of crusty bread in the dictionary right next to the definition of the phrase “light bulb moment” (please don’t […]

Mango & Cactus Salsa… sure to improve your life
Salsa is a child of the summer. The moment I have made salsas three times in the same week is the exact same moment I swap my ensemble of a Darrel Summers’ jumper, sensible trousers and discount shoe mart runners for boardies, a singlet and thongs. When the salsas come out it means the weather […]

Wooli Seafood Spread
I don’t got much for you today. All I have is a couple of points that have come from my ponderings and the tail end symptoms of a nasty little rash. Not exactly “strap yourself in and get ready for the ride” reading but like I said, it’s all I’ve got. 1. It is almost […]

Sri Lankan-esque Prawn Curry a la Peter Kuruvita
This is a prawn version of the pork and black pepper curry recipe that I was given by Peter Kuruvita, and when I say given to me I really mean I fair and square pulled the recipe straight off his website. Cheers Peter! Smiley face all up in my head right now as this is […]

Moreton Bay bug and prawn spaghetti
It’s heating up. As we charge our way through a cracking spring like a boatload of rampaging white men through any indigenous tribe they came across, we have nothing but the glory of summer in full flight, wings spread and soaring high above like some kind of really big bird (not big bird though because […]
