Moussaka
Moussaka… if I wanted your opinion I would’ve asked ya. But seriously, I would love for you to offer me an opinion on my moussaka. Unless of course you are one of those people who waits feverishly for the next season of Masterchef and considers every opinion offered on the show to be gospel and…

Another story by Dr. Chris and a cracking beef roast
Some years ago when cows were cheap & horses were dear, I swapped 5 horses for 15 stud cows. The cows duly calved and one cow had a calf that was a freaking midget. A deadset dwarf! A little bull calf midget dwarf. My kids christened the calf “Little Latten”, after the guy who swapped…

Paul’s Caul… Cheesy fucking goodness. That’s right, I said fucking
Cheesy Effing Goodness There has been a renaissance of late as far as comfort food on menus, and by comfort food I mean food from your childhood that warms not only your belly but also the cockles of your heart. By no means does comfort food reflect how the food feels when worn as clothing,…

Smoked chicken, fennel and potato stew type thing
I had this meal in the pot in 5 minutes, which left me with plenty of time to go out to the verandah and sit back in my old rocking chair, smoke my corncob pipe and pay some more attention to my collection of dirty magazines from the early eighties. This is a great recipe…

Paul’s Caul… The three F’s
The Three F’s… I’m an emotional beast, not that I let these emotions govern my interactions with others, but non-the less things move me. I’m not going to lie to you all I have found my self sitting on the couch watching the voice with a tear rolling down my face (don’t judge me!) or…
