Deer and beer chilli con venison

This is the sort of one pot meal that is going to look past your lack of culinary training (and/or talent) and end up being both tasty and delicious, and ready and raring to impress all your friends. All it really needs is a little time to simmer away and get sexy. Just like the…

Smoked duck breast with Thai red curry

This in an incarnation of a dish I had on the menu when I was the chef at a Thai restaurant in my past life. I am a big fan of the combination of the deliciousness of duck, red curry for the heat, lychees for a little bit of that exotic sweetness and Thai basil…

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…

Grilled prawns with garlic butter AKA. shrimp on the barbie

This is kind of a “crusty bread, to serve” type scenario for me, but these prawns could happily find themselves nestled into a mound of pasta or rice, or maybe tossed with some boiled baby potatoes and green beans. GRILLED PRAWNS WITH GARLIC BUTTER AKA. SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE (for 4-6 people as part of…

Asian Mexican grilled corn salad

I’m a big fan of corn. But who isn’t, I guess. I’m also a big fan of the Mexican sweet corn salad, esquites. But everyone loves that one too. This recipe is just me concocting a different incarnation of said Mexican corn salad so I don’t overconsume and then fall out of love with the…

Grilled tumeric chicken

Fresh tumeric and kafir lime leaf is truly a beautiful combination. Like peaches and cream, the fat kid and cake, Winston Churchill and his cigar or Luke Skywalker and his sister. I fell in love with the combination pretty quickly after taking up tenure as head chef at a Thai restaurant in the Northern Rivers…

Smoked brisket pate with the leftover brisket from your weekend cook

This is a little something I came up with just the other day to use a little leftover brisket from the weekend cook. I am never disappointed with a pile of smoked brisket leftovers and I am happy to consume that brisket in a myriad of ways, but however many ways I enjoy eating brisket…
