Another day, another cook-off part 2
The dishes of Grazza McFilthy Mouth So, as I previously promised you fine folks (hell yeah I’m talking to you) that I would post recipes for the dishes we cooked in our now legendary cook-off this week, I feel somewhat obliged to actually come through with the goods. I will put myself under un-necessary pressure…

Another day, another cook-off
Another day, another cook-off That’s right, another cook-off in our humble home. Something different, right? Although a good cook-off may be a regular occurrence around these here parts, we have altered the terms with a slight global twist. Or quite literally a twist of the globe. Yes, I had another brilliant idea; we would close…

Prawn san choi bau with squid balls for our last night in Iluka
This folks, is sadly my last post from Iluka. My seven days of love and sunshine are almost at an end. A week of a post a day (a PB for me too, I might add) devoted purely to our holiday eating is almost done. Soon the afternoons when I sit on the verandah of…

Herb crumbed squid rings
We have just been to the Fisherman’s Co-op and procured ourselves a nice little bag of fresh squid. And how much did that squid cost us, I hear you ask. Well my friend, I am here today to tell you right now that it cost not a penny more than seven Australian dollars and thirty…

Mums tuna patties (with kale)
This is not a funny story. Nor is it a gripping adventure. It is a recipe for a dinner close to overflowing with nostalgia, and the tale of a young carnie showgirl and her quest for freedom and her struggle to get to the U, S and A. Where do I go from a statement…

Iluka and a prawn pasta that will do the trick for Valentines Day I think…
Iluka again. Yes we’re back to Iluka again. The owners of the restaurant I work at have declared we shall be closed for a week for maintenance and a well-deserved break after the holiday craziness. I agreed this was a good idea. Even if I was a little simpler then I think I am and…

Prawn Cocktail for Australia Day
The Australia day prawn cocktail Yesterday was Australia Day and I was damn well looking to impress last night… and by that I mean I thought I was looking damn handsome and would make myself a killer Australia Day prawn cocktail. What more could a man want? Maybe his darling wiffy? Well, she’ll be…

Mussels times two… and this damn heat
H(eat) Day 1 Damn this heat. I saw the sun rearing it’s head above the hills this morning and it quite literally had fire in it’s eyes. It’s so damn hot out side right now I’m pretty sure Lucifer himself just came to my door to enquire as to whether he may be able to…

Miss Margarita Mexican Cantina, Byron Bay (part 2)… and film review “Gravity”
Self thought it has been a while since I have returned to my favourite Mexi-loco bar type restaurant-y haunt in Byron Bay. Also, Jennee (due to various unforeseen factors) was 0-3 on her attempts to be swooned by the taste of cheap eats, a punchy mojito and the service of fine looking bohemian-esque barmen. The…

Poached fish and potato salad with dill ranch dressing…
It is a cruel hot sun out there at the moment. It’s the kind of sun that turns old people into stone when it’s rays hit their frail skin and burns small children to a cinder… and then it walks away laughing. I didn’t even need to use salt on the food in the kitchen…
