Another Effing Soup
Been a lot sick lately blah blah blah. Made a lot of soup blah blah. Can’t have too much soup blah blah blah. Here’s another blah blah blah. This is my take on a Moroccan chickpea, lentil and tomato soup called Harira. Which sounds a little bit like hurry up. Which you cannot do when…

Pauly’s Soup Challenge
The proof is in the pudding… or soup I guess. Here is the soup challenge that Pauly (from Paul’s Caul fame) threw down last week. If he was a doubter of the integrity of the readers of this blog he shalt be a believer from this day forward. The only real problem is that the…

…and follow that up with a great soup and throwing-of-the-glove by Pauly
PAUL’S CAUL Supposedly I’m meant to write about food. Word on the street is I’m meant to be writing about food… maybe I have a tendency to get a little carried away with a rant here and an opinion there, but I figured that’s why you love me. Now it has also come to my…

Pauls Caul… caramelised pineapple with lemongrass and palm sugar icecream, and other ramblings
“Paul’s Caul” is a segment written by fellow chef, friend and mentor Paul Mac. He’s an all round nice guy. He pats little fury animals and all sorts of shit. He could be your friend. Unless you are a bit “special” (was that PC? Yep. Great) in which case he will spot your “special ability”…

The day that was Gringo-Mexicano Wednesday
TACOS Yes, it’s Gringo-Mexicano Wednesday at our house again (well it was on Wednesday anyway). And today we make tacos, while our children husk corn and roll cigars in the back shed. Ole. I have fond childhood memories of my mums Gringo-Australiano taco buffet… wait up, if I put an ‘o’ at the end of…

the dinner I made last night
This is the dinner I cooked last night. I think it took me about 20 minutes from start to finish which, just between you and me, is heaps better then my performance in bed. This is a good warm salad for winter, and is also a cracker if you’ve been lacking roughage in you…

Five more things to do with vegetables… Paul’s caul
When I was asked to write five things to do with vegetables I must admit it was only about idea number four that included cooking them… and note I said included! But midgets and turnips aside there are so many ways to use/cook vegetables, for us chefs it seems almost ridiculous to be…

FIVE THINGS TO DO WITH… vegetables
5 things to do with vegetables (6 if you count the rude stuff that I know we’re all thinking…) What about veges? I had a conversation recently with my mate Queenie regarding vegetables, and, more specifically what he (yeah, Queenie is a boys name. We’re mental ’round here) could do with them. I can hear…

Thai spiced (almost) pumpkin soup
This is a recipe to incorporate two of what I thought were my least favourite things… store bought curry paste and gramma – a close relative of the pumpkin. Or probably its inbred cousin. This recipe came about because someone I may or may not work with likes to buy Thai curry pastes…

stuffed zucchini for Sammy’s dinner
I was meant to do this recipe yesterday but I got a little carried away with an open fire, some beef sausages, a chicken, some rosemary and a bottle of wine. Take from that what you will. I know I sure enjoyed my evening… so I thought I had better smash it out now or…
