china tucker… the food diary of my Italian born, Australian raised friend who sometimes lives in China…
“a Gitana (my friend’s name is Gitana) blurb on kung fu and food in china” Last year, I trained in rural China at a kung fu school for four months. Despite the wonderful training with extremely knowledgeable Shaolin Masters and the attractiveness of simple living, being cooked for is also seemingly attractive… it is not…

Mondays ain’t so bad
Toasting marshmallows on the fire with the boys and having a cheeky beer or three is definitely not a bad way to spend a Monday afternoon. I think that’s all I’ve got right now… Actually… In a food related story I did make a mongrel crossbreed moussaka…

One ingredient… sweet and savoury… capers
The caper challenge. Or should I say “the caper not-challenge?” PS. This has nothing to do with what sneaky little activities you get up to on a Friday night. The caper is a good friend of mine, and could be your friend too (if you weren’t such a prick). You should always have some hiding…

An afternoon snack with the boys… Pan fried chips
When I get home with the boys after school, we have a little chat about what went on in their day, I ask if they have a girlfriend yet, and we enjoy the first of what is usually a long line of different snacks. Today we decided on pan fried potato chips with tomato sauce…

Paul’s Caul. Typo’s and all… Homage to the breakfast chef… and chorizo and croissant pudding
It has to be the most under-rated job in any kitchen, not generally by people who work in kitchens but by you, the general public. It’s the meal you’ll spend the least on, expect it to be served quicker then the others and, by the most part just order what you want regardless of…

Anchovy and caper salsa… And thanks Pauly. Thanks for the cheer.
Pauly from Paul’s Caul (and various other notoriety) is a great friend and means many other things to me then just cheap “thrills” to say the least, but today I just wanna say thanks to him for the laughs he brings to my day when he sends me a new post. My day usually isn’t…

Paul’s Caul… Soups in all their wonder
People say our eyes are the windows to our souls, but then these same ridiculous people say “deodorant isn’t for me, I just use petuli oil” yeah you guessed it, they are hippies and yes you’re right again they stink and I do not like them or their passive aggressive ways. But regardless of these…

Chicken curry for Leon (the short title)
Curry for when one of your friends unexpectedly calls to say he’s in town and wants to catch up except it should’ve really been unexpected because he told you a few days ago but you had a few drinks after work last night to celebrate the fact you don’t need a reason to celebrate and…

My big fat feasting long weekend part 3
Part three The final installment of this gripping trilogy. Back home. Looking at my own bed that defo has a comfort factor of at least 9. Pretty happy about that. There were burgers and home-made chips on the couch. Not actually on the couch but we ate them laying on the couch in our old…

My big fat feasting long weekend part 2
Part two There was a game of foosball. Now I don’t much follow the foosball and I don’t much like girls because girls are the devil. So I decided I would watch the foosball grand final, which is actually pronounced f-o-o-t-b-a-l-l… Apparently… And is also more correctly known as rugby league Queenie has just informed…
