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.

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…

Pulled pork with jerk spices, posh ‘slaw, pickled carrot and jalapeño yoghurt
Pulled pork just sounds wrong. It sounds like something a million teenage boys across the world may be doing at any one time. It sounds like something I should not touch if it were served to me on a plate. It sounds… well it just sounds wrong, that’s all. SO WRONG IT’S RIGHT (insert crazy…

Another day, another cook-off part 2
The dishes of Grazza McFilthy Mouth So, as I previously promised you fine folks (hell yeah I’m talking to you) that I would post recipes for the dishes we cooked in our now legendary cook-off this week, I feel somewhat obliged to actually come through with the goods. I will put myself under un-necessary pressure…

Paul’s Caul… Same words, different melody
Same words…. Different melody We really do get stuck in our ways. It seems that most western societies are comfortable with consistency. Some might even say we’re unimaginative… I’m torn as for the most part; I love what I have loved for too many years to mention, then every now and again I love something…
