Burgers for boy’s night
Burgers for boy’s night It was myself and my sons Seba and Obi, both young. Probably to young to be watching hardcore porn and drinking straight whiskey, but it was boy’s night so I’ll let the age thing slide. And we also had the company of their cousin Gareth, who was doing work experience at…

300
300 “Give them nothing but take from them EVERYTHING!”… ummm, that may be the wrong 300. A fine moment for Gerard Butler though. A fine moment indeed. And then I wake from my pseudo gay dream and realise I’m actually embarking on another brain to finger electromagnetic intercourse from me to you and it appears…

chef’s pet hate #42
Chef’s pet hate #42 “When is my food ready?” Are you effing kidding me? It’s been 10 minutes since you ordered and if you get your face out of you iphone for a minute or two you will notice the restaurant is full. These people should not be allowed to leave the house unsupervised and…

Baked beans… and the debt they owe to a good piece of smoked meat
Good baked beans are super easy but they do owe a debt of gratitude to a good ham bone or smoked sausage, it just improves the flavour of these little legumes ten fold. Unless you are vegetarian or one of the other groups of people out there who are wrong about smoked pork. Except Muslims……

Lamb-ancini (lamb arancini) with caper mayonnaise
Just a quick little note with a compulsory amusing anecdote about my life at the moment. Dear diary. This week I started a new job. The new kitchen has lots of fun toys for me to play with, new work mates for me to torment, a baker/pastry chef (I must have done something good in…

Beef and noodle stirfry aka. Piss easy beef and noodle stirfry
This is so easy that I shan’t even question your intelligence with over explained solutions to the world’s unrealised problems… or even a complete recipe! Once the ingredients are prepped up it’s going to take five or so minutes in a hot wok. Even chopping the beef and vegetables could be executed by a trained monkey (or carnie) in five minutes… ten minutes…

Dahl and flatbread for all of your hippy friends…
Why? Because hippies love Dahl. As soon as I started cooking this today they gathered near my front gate. It looked like a coal seam gas rally. There was incense and patchouli, girls with hairy armpits, environmentally unsound old cars (my favourite hippy-crit trait) and clothes reminiscent of the wardrobe from Mad Max. What do…

Big assed risotto with chicken, chorizo and prawns to impress a crowd
When I pulled myself out of bed this morning I was met with the lingering smell of smoky goodness from our adventures the previous evening (just to clarify they were cooking adventures) and they memories came flooding back. No, that’s a lie. The memories sporadically trickled in like David Hasslehoffs fan mail. A fuck off…

What becomes of the broken bunnies?
After our effing fantastic flood relief rabbit cook up last night (or two nights ago now) there was still a bit of chicken and rabbit left. I always have fun with leftovers. I wait until everybody has left the house and then I sit back and have a glass of wine and I slowly… No.…
