Porky Thai fried rice – because it’s tops and I never get thai-ed of it.
I know. The thai-ed thing has been done before. I like it. That’s all. Thai fried rice goes nicely with pork ribs or any other lump of BBQ pork you may like to grace it with. This rice is going to be your friend. You’re not going to kick it out of bed that’s for…

Really, really easy pit beans.
I don’t even know what to say about these beans except they are so damn easy – not boozed up prom queen easy but really darn close. Cook these as a side at your next BBQ or do not be afraid to put a fried egg on top of a bowl of this and call…

Steak and the things I might like to have with it ie. Cafe de Paris butter
Steak is something that is honoured with no particular favourite sauce/dressing for me. It could be something green and herbaceous. Maybe salsa verde or a twangy chimmichurri. It might be something creamy. A porcini mushroom and bacon sauce perhaps. Or maybe a classic jus or gravy. I have been known to adorn a nice steak…

BBQ lamb sausage rolls
Sausage rolls: an Australian institution. BBQ: also and Australian institution. Lamb: also an Australian institution. Can you see where I’m going with this? Of course you can. You are not as simple as you look. These little suckers are so tasty you’ll find yourself cooking up extra lamb just to make more. BBQ LAMB SAUSAGE…

An ode to my Ma’s savoury mince pie
This is a meat pie that would make my mother proud. I have said more than once that my mother was not the flashest of home cooks, and she is OK with that and still sends me birthday cards etc, etc, etc, but she could definitely throw together a damn fine fish fry, great meat…
