Easter-ness
I know. I’ve been offline for over a week now and all I have to offer is the same ol’ tale of a man who works in the hospitality industry and is tied to the stoves during holiday periods. A man who loves the customers that demand so much of him during these times. A…

Simple chorizo, chickpea and corn soup
This soup is simple. It is simple like the child of two cousins. Even if you are one of those less fortunate people who seem to display an unbridled level of devotion to the ancient art of fucktardery (when clearly your energy could be more wisely spent on the lesser arts of tapestry, or possibly…

Foxy Bean Café (not Gunshop Cafe)
Foxy Bean Café, Wooloongabba Normally when we stay in Brisbane, we will venture out to Gunshop Café for a coffee or two and a good breakfast. But on this trip this would not be the case. It was time for a change and a new culinary adventure would be under taken. It was decided after…

Chicken thighs with cavolo nero and corn pilaf… and a guy named Phil
First you need Phil. Phil is a guy I work with and he likes gardening. Phil grows vegetables and makes pickles and preserves, and makes his own butter, cheese and yoghurt to boot. And yes, Phil is available ladies! Phil also has the tongue of a salty old sea dog… mostly because he is a…

Mexican Hangover Rolls

A Mexi feast that would make a Mexican proud… possibly… i don’t know any Mexicans I can ask…
Recently, at my place of paid employment, I cooked a Mexican fiesta for anyone and everyone to try… providing they had a burro for transportation, a fake big black moustache and the fare of six silver pesos to pay their way. After a day of sending out feast after feast after proud gringo Mexicano…

Pork fillet with lentils, tomato and salsa verde
The rains are coming down noisily in our (yeah, we’ve claimed them now) not-so-long-ago tranquil Northern Rivers. There has still been a lot of heat getting about the place, but right now the heavens they are emptying their bladder that’s for sure. These rains have made me think back to a dinner I cooked up…

Jennee’s Sunday Spread… Singapore chicken satay, pakoras and other stuff
Jennee’s Sunday Spread If there is something I’ve grown accustomed to it is returning home on a Sunday afternoon to Jen’s famous Sunday spread. No. This is not a new weekly segment aimed at letting you in to the more intricate details of my life… or wife… or both of the above. I think you…
