Falafel at Orgasmic Food, Byron Bay
The falafel Due to the recent experience I had with a lamb kebab, the one that left me feeling about as satisfied as the wife of a serial premature ejaculator, I had a yearning deep down inside me that needed to be satisfied. It wasn’t the sort of feeling that could be extinguished with a…

Dahl and flatbread for all of your hippy friends…
Why? Because hippies love Dahl. As soon as I started cooking this today they gathered near my front gate. It looked like a coal seam gas rally. There was incense and patchouli, girls with hairy armpits, environmentally unsound old cars (my favourite hippy-crit trait) and clothes reminiscent of the wardrobe from Mad Max. What do…

Curried Zucchini and Red Lentil Soup for the flood
The flood waters they are coming up once again. Why? Well I’m no expert but I’m gonna put it out there that it has something to do with barometric pressure, precipitation and cumulous humongous… Probably some other stuff too. I should probably read a book about it. Yep. During the night somehow, someone fed our…

Mole flavoured dukkah
No, this is not dukkah flavoured with a small, blind animal or a nasty looking girl you met playing pool at the local bogan pub (not today any way), but in fact a dukkah made with the spice, nut and seed mix I was about to add to my Mexican mole (pronounced mol-ay) sauce. I…

Mondays ain’t so bad
Toasting marshmallows on the fire with the boys and having a cheeky beer or three is definitely not a bad way to spend a Monday afternoon. I think that’s all I’ve got right now… Actually… In a food related story I did make a mongrel crossbreed moussaka…

An afternoon snack with the boys… Pan fried chips
When I get home with the boys after school, we have a little chat about what went on in their day, I ask if they have a girlfriend yet, and we enjoy the first of what is usually a long line of different snacks. Today we decided on pan fried potato chips with tomato sauce…

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…

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? (I actually just think it sounds more authentically German/Austrian suffixed with hoffen). What’s cheating in the world of cooking? Cheating is telling someone you cooked dinner but actually you bought Hungry Jack’s.…
