Tamarillo chutney
The tamarillo season is in full swing in my neck of the woods so it’s time to bust out this little recipe that I came up with one year when a friend of mine gave me a shitload* of these sour little bastards from his heavily laden tree. It’s a great little chutney for stuff…

Bread & butter pickles
I love a good garden pickle. At any given time, our kitchen bench will be home to numerous pickles and/or ferments using the produce from Jennee’s garden. NB for any inexperienced players out there; Jennee is my wife and she’s a heck of a good gardener. Grow something, pickle it and be truly impressed with…

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…

Carolina mustard sauce
This mustard sauce or something very similar has been around forever and you didn’t even know about it. It’s just been waiting patiently for you to let it make a little sexy time with your next pulled pork, hotdog or even steak. It’s been patient but believe me, it has still been champing at the…

Chow-chow down down
This is the sort of condiment that revolutionizes my life. It combines a heap of my favourite vegetables in a witch’s cauldron and after a few low mutterings of some kind of voodoo type black magic (or possibly it was just the ramblings of a boozed up and disheveled old carnie… or even more possibly…

Salsa verde… a green sauce for steak and chicken and just about anything
Salsa verde. Literally translated this means green sauce. No mention of rocket science here so it kinda implies that even you’re going to be able to pull this one off! Also, with it’s literal name, the initials GS could also stand for “good shit”, as this is well and truly what salsa verde is –…

Eggplant and Heirloom Tomato Kasundi
I like kasundi. I like it heaps more than I like the people who come into the café in the middle of summer while you’re sweating like someone who is clearly very very hot and quite possibly going to pass out due to the fact you are losing fluids faster than any man could replenish…
