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…

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…

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.

New school rolled beef roast in the smoker
This is the old school, poor mans rolled beef roast. A piece of meat traditionally cut from the belly and/or lower end of the brisket and rolled for slice-abilty. This is the kind of beef roast my ma would cook up. Except hers would be sans every herb, garlic, spice and probably salt and pepper…

Chicken mole is good
Chicken mole is good. Mole, in Mexican, simply means sauce. But what a sauce it is. This is one version in a sea of quite possibly thousands. Put it on the table next to some corn, rice, salsas, avocado and/or crumbly cheese, and a big ol’ pile of warm tortillas. Always with a pile of…

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…
