Venison, root vegetable and stout stew… and navigating a camp kitchen

Our recent trip to NZ had very slight undertones (subtle as a slap in the face with a wet fish) of cooking and/or eating whatever local produce the frozen, undulating, sheep dotted, river covered landscape could offer. This day we were making our way back to Methven, and the company of our good friends Troppo…

BBQ sausage burgers from that book, “Pitmaster”

Tonights dinspiration* was taken from the book “Pitmaster”, by Andy Husbands and Chris Hart. I would just like to add; although Father’s Day was a few days ago, this would have certainly been a damn fine burger to make your father on said day, if smoky deliciousness is your father’s thing. A time machine modulus…

Pretty easy, using up those Sunday BBQ leftovers, cassoulet.

Today I realised I have not made cassoulet for quite some time. Sure, I’ve made pit beans and I’ve made cowboy beans, but I haven’t made a classic French cassoulet. And today I shan’t be making cassoulet either. Instead I shall be doing that bastardising thing I love to do so much and use a…

Prohibition Smokehouse, Truck Norris Texas BBQ and Bootleg BBQ… some smokehouse joints on the south island of New Zealand

PROHIBITION SMOKEHOUSE, DUNEDIN To start off with, Dunedin is a funny little town. It holds with-in its belly an intestinal tract of Victorian era buildings that house the students from the Universities in town, inducing a feeling of old meets new. Graffitied buildings and quirky student-y notes and signs adorn the walls and doorways of…

Braised lamb cutlets with bubble-and-swede… and a couple of things that grow really well on the south island of New Zealand

Yeah, I know right. Who uses lamb cutlets for braising? Well, in the south island of New Zealand where the sheep population grossly outweighs that of the humans*, lamb cutlets are cheap as bro, so today I would do whatever the heck I wanted with them. Also, what is this whole bubble-and-swede thing, you ask?…

The Fergburger experience, Queenstown, New Zealand

The Fergburger experience is a real thing. Previously I had only heard stories about Fergburger and it’s backyard dealings of quality burger product and accompanying side dishes, and how the burger junkies would come from miles around to get their fix. This story gets damn good when I tell you it was these rumors and…

Nachos supremo

This is a story about some really good nachos. I am not implying that you don’t know how to make nachos, it’s just that these nachos are, well, probably better than yours. Soz. And these nachos also involve one of my favourite sort of early week cooking scenarios – using up the inevitable pile of…

Put-on-anything, back up, corny, feel good salsa

This (or some kind of slightly bastardised, red headed step child of a version of this) is the salsa you will now use to impress people when you don’t actually have the brain capacity and/or motor skill to impress people. This is the thesaurus of the intellectually incapacitated… it is the bath for the homeless…

Apple cider vinaigrette and my sincerest apologies

Apple cider vinaigrette This is a recipe that I constantly forget to give you fine folks, and for that I’m sorry. But I am giving it to you right now (Well, I’m not actually “giving it to you” right now because that would be perverted… unless it’s consensual I guess… a conversation for another time…

Herby roast chicken with a really good warm salad and salsa verde

This one is a pretty good looking little dinner that would probably impress that love of your life/person of sexuality of your choosing that you are trying to convince that you would be a good sort to shack up with, and it is still easy enough for some one of your skill-set to put together……
