Barbequed Chicken with Thai Flavours… and tales from the wagon
With this cleanse looming, I was smart enough to stash a few posts in the shadows so I had a bit of ammunition while my boozy, culinary rifle was shooting blanks. Me smart boy. I could bore the absolute shit out of you with photos of the various fruit I eat each day and the…

Simply brilliant simple chorizo, rogue cherry tomato and herb pasta
If you pay attention to the words that are printed on these new age electronic enviro-friendly, paper-free pages, you may remember me stating that I would be cleansing my body over this month. So you could imagine my food consumption may have simplified dramatically. As I am purging my physical being and soul of impurities,…

Prawn san choi bau with squid balls for our last night in Iluka
This folks, is sadly my last post from Iluka. My seven days of love and sunshine are almost at an end. A week of a post a day (a PB for me too, I might add) devoted purely to our holiday eating is almost done. Soon the afternoons when I sit on the verandah of…

Baked pasta with pork and sage meatballs and kale
I have felt like eating something similar to a recipe from my friend over at Cottage Grove House (which you may find here) had posted since I saw it in the wee hours of the morning. 5:30am to be exact. But this is bound to happen when you get up at 5am every morning to…

Pork porterhouse (porkerhouse) “saltimbocca”
Saltimbocca is the Italian term (meaning jumps in the mouth) that loosely refers to something that is wrapped in prosciutto and sage and is done with just about everything these days; chicken, fish, veal, pork, your girlfriend… certainly guaranteed to spice up your evening if nothing else. And if you’re anything like me you wouldn’t…

Bacon, corn and herb stuffing for your roast chicken… or pervy bedroom antics (it is Valetines Day after all)
First of all Happy Valentines Day. Secondly, whatever. The kids have decided that they want roast chicken for dinner tonight, which is just fine with me. You must know how to roast a chook by now so I shall spare you the insult to your intelligence, although I’m sure I’ll say something soon enough that…

Herb crumbed squid rings
We have just been to the Fisherman’s Co-op and procured ourselves a nice little bag of fresh squid. And how much did that squid cost us, I hear you ask. Well my friend, I am here today to tell you right now that it cost not a penny more than seven Australian dollars and thirty…

Mums tuna patties (with kale)
This is not a funny story. Nor is it a gripping adventure. It is a recipe for a dinner close to overflowing with nostalgia, and the tale of a young carnie showgirl and her quest for freedom and her struggle to get to the U, S and A. Where do I go from a statement…

Iluka and a prawn pasta that will do the trick for Valentines Day I think…
Iluka again. Yes we’re back to Iluka again. The owners of the restaurant I work at have declared we shall be closed for a week for maintenance and a well-deserved break after the holiday craziness. I agreed this was a good idea. Even if I was a little simpler then I think I am and…

A steak sandwich just so I get to use my homemade tomato sauce
As I stated in the title of this piece, this steak sandwich happened to come into my possession purely for the purpose of carrying my home made tomato sauce to my face. I could’ve just drank it but, quite frankly, that shit just looks plain wrong. Make a steak sandwich exactly like you would make…
