Braised beef cheeks in drinkable red wine
At one time in the past I was of the opinion that the wine I used for cooking would not be the wine I would consume myself. In fact, the wine I used for cooking would be bottom shelf, cheap as, nasty assed goon*. My opinions on more than one thing have changed in the…

Coal roasted fish bruschetta AKA camp bruschetta
Last week I was writing the roster at work, which is a pretty ordinary thing for someone in my position to be doing. It was going to be a pretty good one too – I had reined it back to a less-than-50-hour-week which is a more than acceptable working week for one who has chosen…

Campfire (or possibly home oven) Chicken with Broad Beans and Bacon
“You may sleep like animals and smell like animals, but you shall eat like men”. Well, I heard through a friend of mine that that is indeed what Jesus said and by jeepers I do believe I agree with that man! I am more than happy to sleep on the floor with nothing but a…

Sangria-la-la-la-la
Sangria-la-la-la-la I don’t know how the weather is where you live but we’ve been getting some cracking sunshine in our parts lately. In our parts. That doesn’t quite sound right does it? It kinda sounds like I might be implying the sun actually does shine out of my ass… but the sunshine is coming not…

Camp food (cooking with wood) part 2
BREAKFAST Wake up to the pretty birdies, get that fire burning again cos we need some coffee and a big breakfast. We always have a big breakfast when we’re camping because there’s much relaxing to do and you certainly wouldn’t want to be trying that out on an empty stomach. Baked beans, a bit of…
