Bacon and Broccoli Pasta or Pizza… Bacon Week Overflow
As you may well gather from my last few posts it is damn cold in these normally sun kissed and glowing Northern Rivers. All I have is a constant reminder of how the magic rays of the sun can benefit a man from the ever-so-constant facehead up dates from my compatriot and long time…

Chicken, potato and black pepper curry… and my freezing fingers
It’s early in the a.m. Like, really early. Like, there is no chance that the sun shall be reprieving the moon of his night duties anytime soon. Nope, the moon has still got a good hour to go on the night shift, so that lad may as well go and get himself another cup of…

The Silence of the Boys Eating the Lambs… Well, the lamb’s belly anyhow
I ventured into the shop of my local purveyor of quality meats a while back to procure my good person a quantity bacon for the impending bacon week celebrations, when I noticed the butcher was taking the bellies off some lambs. “Nice lamb Graeme”, he said to me. “Looks very nice Scotty”, I replied. “How…

Au Revoir Madame Emma… Coq au Vin and other French Goodies
My diary. Monday 30th June, 2014 I had a plan. Note; I said had. Today is my day off. No work, no school duties because it is now school holidays (more on that later) and some quiet time with my MacBook Air, finishing a few of the stories I have in my almost ready pile…

Paul’s Caul… South American Quest part 6… Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro This tale of Brazil actually starts in Brasilia but as the capital of Brazil is a lot like the capital of Australia, its best not to spend to much time and energy trying to regale people with stories from these sterile pre planned cities. This is not to say we didn’t…

More Bacon Week Goodness… Pan de bono with bacon
Doing my bit for Bacon Week As I mentioned in my last post, it is Bacon Week. So aside from just eating (I really don’t wish to make this task seem menial or mundane, as it is something that always fills my heart with joy) my favourite cured pork product, or quite possibly even my…

Pasta Amatriciana… and thank you for Bacon Week
Sugo all’amatriciana (amatriciana sauce for all us English speaking, less sexy sounding peeps) is a classic Italian sauce hailing from the town of Amatrice. Why did I think I should tell you that? I don’t know, but I did, so you can thank me later. This is the side story that will inadvertently lead me…

Quinoa and Corn Fritters for Easy Mid-Week Dinner
I know we have offered up a few posts in the last couple of days and maybe I should’ve saved this one for a couple of days for when I am working too hard, or feel a bit uninspired, or chuck the shits because I have a little sand in my vagina. But the fact…

Marinated sardines
I am obsessed with sardines. There you go. I said it. That statement is for everyone I hang out with, work with, my family and the old lady down the street at number 42 for being forced to listen to my constant talk about the next meal I’m going to create with sardines. You may…

Paul’s Caul… South American Quest part 5… Gustu
Gustu, La Paz (Bolivia) When a couple of chefs from the worlds best restaurant decide to move to the other side of the world to open a new restaurant purely because the local produce is so different, then we should definitely take notice. Gustu is just such a place. It’s found in a La Paz…
