Smoked lamb shepherds pie
This is classic me-after-a-barbecue-competition cooking. Maybe not the day I get home because that is normally reserved for something salady and light, but this will happily jump into the roster a day or two later when it’s time to start using up a few barbecue leftovers. You could serve this with a little salad or…

Grilled asparagus (kinda like elote)
So yeah. We were getting about the idea of making something for dinner and we decided it was going to be Mexican themed. There was asparagus to be used and my mind was thinking about elote (Mexican grilled corn), so asparagus elote (sort of) it was. Cooking the asparagus quickly allows the flavour to come…

Spit roasted duck with stone fruit sauce
A lot of people fear cooking duck which I think is kinda fair enough because it can be a little difficult to cook a good one. A shit one, dry and rubbery, is piss easy for anyone to put on the table, but that perfect duck takes a little more skills and smarts. I’m here…

Pork with kimchi – your new favourite pork and cabbage dish
Pork and cabbage is now, and has always been, a very appealing combination for me. Most people I know are not really phased by the humble old cabbage, but I am truly in love with it. Add some kind of pork product and that is my kind of ménage a trois. Pork ribs with slaw,…

Thai three flavour crazy sauce
*This is an old story about the time I introduced my friend Paul to this three flavour sauce for the first time. I like the story so it’s here for y’all today* I awoke this morning to the sight that some rude bastard, probably a local pub owner or something similar, had dumped a shit…

Christmas ham that you have cooked by yourself from scratch
Now, there’s going to be a lot of different stories floating around the world-wide super-web around this point in time all telling you how you should cook a ham. Some will claim to be good. Some will claim to be the best. All I know is that there are a lot of different ways to…

Smoked turkey breast with bacon & pineapple stuffing
You and I have my friend and fellow lover of the flame, Mr Grant Coleman, to thank for this one. I didn’t even think I liked turkey until he convinced me that we were going to cook it recently. The following words of turkey praise are honestly words I did not think I would be…
