Seafood chowder-esque type thing in a Vienna loaf
My brother is just about to head back to his humble grotto in Margaret River, Western Australia, after a mammoth stay of two months. That’s right, now I shall be in charge of my own mis en place again… and we will have to do our own washing… I’ll be sad to see him go,…

Pulled pork Chinese styles for my ol’ mate Bretty B
So my old mate Brett, AKA Bretty B, sends me a message asking what the hell pulled pork is. I explained that my understanding of pulled pork is that it is a slow cooked piece of pork, with some kind of juicy marinade, that ends up being so damn heart meltingly tender that you can…

Chicken, bacon, potato and sauerkraut soup… more easytastygood
