The “a little fancy” cheeseburger
It’s a burger. It should not be exceedingly difficult to make one. I’m pretty sure that’s part of the theory behind it. That and being able to consume your meal sans cutlery. Yeah, I hear you as you move ever more confidently to tell me that there are still peeps out there that did not…

Christmas spit roasted goose with bacon, cranberry and herb stuffing

Smoked lamb shoulder with Middle Eastern sorta garnish
I like lamb. I like lamb a lot. I like lamb enough to write a poem about it. Mary had a little lamb shoulder which she would cook for hours,It cooked until it fell from the bone and its aroma was better than flowers. There’s a brief foray into the world of poetry from me.…

Venison with black pepper & garlic
I am not Asian and nor have I trained formally in the art of any type of Asian cuisine. My Asian training comes from the streets. It comes from a head-over-heals type love affair with Asian flavours. It comes from eating my way through Chinatowns, Korean precincts, Vietnamese markets and real-life Asian countries. Also, and…
