Warm salad of squid, chickpeas, olives, tomato and herbs with nutty za’atar
It is difficult to conjure up a cracking meal with what can be only described as eff all. I am not a magician; I don’t even have the skills to do a basic card trick and I certainly do not possess the powers of alchemy. What is not difficult though, is creating a cracking meal…

Hangover breakfast… and lunch
It’s been a bit touch and go for the old Grazza McFilthy Mouth today. The precursor to this story if I may… Yesterday I was paid a visit by an old friend and fellow chef who, for the purpose of this anecdote, shall be known as Toodles (mostly because that is his name). We proceeded…

Chicken, bacon, potato and sauerkraut soup… more easytastygood

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…

Still no celebration for the blogiversary, but some damn fine stuffed peppers
As I stated in my last post about the third year blogiversary of foodisthebestshitever, I forgot about my blog’s birthday. I was not a good father and I did not shower my blog with neither love nor presents. I needed to redeem myself. I told Jennee about the birthday and figured she would sort the…

Paul’s Caul… Tuna Tartare and a few words about sharing
Sharing is caring, except rashes. One of the biggest problems facing the world is that people just don’t share the right things, people love to share the things that annoy them or the things that cause nasty rashes in the never reaches, in fact basically we could replace the word ‘sharing’ with ‘off loading’ and…
