Grilled red emperor with coriander chimichurri sauce
Chimichurri is now a pretty famous Argentinian steak sauce but I am going to let you in on a little secret today; it is also bloody good on pork, lamb, chicken, seafood and vegetables. There you go – pretty much good for everything. So the total opposite of, say, a corona virus. Today we’re going…

Big ol’ kale and cheese pie
Sauteed kale, onion, garlic, herbs and cheese mixed with enough egg and cream to hold it together, put to bed under a blanket of puff pastry and then cooked in the oven for 45 minutes or so until it’s golden and delicious. This is the kind of thing that can be an easy healthy lunch…

Almost succotash
This I a little something I shall describe as a Covid lockdown succotash. You know, the type of succotash you make when you don’t want to go into town because that disease is floating around there somewhere, so you make something that is very loosely based on succotash with whatever is left in your fridge…

Vietnamese grilled pork ribs with shallot oil
A drum or bullet smoker is perfect for these, or you could use indirect heat in a kettle barbecue. The marinade recipe is per rack of so you can just multiply that by however many racks of ribs you need to satisfy your hunger. Don’t forget you have a calculator on your phone if your…

Easy peasy mac and cheesy
This is a version of macaroni and cheese that is bloody quick and easy. It is simply cooked macaroni in one pot and cheese sauce in another pot and then you get to use your evolved dexterity to pour the cheese sauce over the macaroni and mix it together. That is the simple version. You…

BBQ chicken with romesco sauce
I think this grilled chook is inspired by Spain, possibly what I was thinking might be eaten by a farmer in a little village in the Spanish country side somewhere, and that is absolutely what I wanted my chicken to be cooked like on this day. Also, I really wanted some romesco sauce in my…

Brisket cheesesteak
This is but one of the ways I have made what could be loosely described as a Philly Cheesesteak, or even more honestly described as being only very, very loosely based on the original model Philly Cheesesteak. I have reason to believe that tradition may stipulate that the steak is first thinly sliced and then…

Kale stalk “capers”, or kalpers if you prefer
This recipe was very heavily inspired by Sean Brock’s “South”. I know you probably don’t even like kale. It probably makes you angry when people talk about it too. I feel bad for kale. Kale is a victim of circumstance. Very unfortunate circumstance. When it was adopted as the world-wide mascot for team hipster, its…

Barbecued pork ribs with lemongrass, chilli & honey
One of the really good things about pork ribs are that they are happy to oblige just about any flavour you could want to put with them. They will sit just as happily in a tomatoey Italian ragu as they would be glistening in a sickly sweet glaze on the grill for a Summery American…
