Singapore noodles with prawns
Sometimes I forget how much I love noodles. Especially Singapore noodles. Oh, how I love Singapore noodles. This is pretty easy, mid-week cooking that is tasty as fuck and can certainly be toyed with as much as your sweet little heart desires. This time ‘round I had some prawns from the ocean that is just…

Chicken with white wine
Yes, this is based on the French classic, coq au vin. No, I am not as original and cool as you. No, I do not care. Yes, I am going to make this anyway. I’ve made a couple of slight changes to a traditional coq au vin due to what was in the house at…

Smoked cheeseburgers
These can be done in an offset smoker, kettle, drum smoker or whatever else you have hanging around on your verandah. I guess the key is this; you will need to be cooking away from a flame to get the smokiness in there. It’s just gotta be something that’s going to let you hang out…

Grilled red emperor with coriander chimichurri sauce
Chimichurri is now a pretty famous Argentinian steak sauce but I am going to let you in on a little secret today; it is also bloody good on pork, lamb, chicken, seafood and vegetables. There you go – pretty much good for everything. So the total opposite of, say, a corona virus. Today we’re going…

Big ol’ kale and cheese pie

You know, the type of succotash you make when you don’t want to go into town because that disease is floating around there somewhere, so you make something that is very loosely based on succotash with whatever is left in your fridge…

Vietnamese grilled pork ribs with shallot oil
A drum or bullet smoker is perfect for these, or you could use indirect heat in a kettle barbecue. The marinade recipe is per rack of so you can just multiply that by however many racks of ribs you need to satisfy your hunger. Don’t forget you have a calculator on your phone if your…

Easy peasy mac and cheesy
This is a version of macaroni and cheese that is bloody quick and easy. It is simply cooked macaroni in one pot and cheese sauce in another pot and then you get to use your evolved dexterity to pour the cheese sauce over the macaroni and mix it together. That is the simple version. You…

BBQ chicken with romesco sauce
I think this grilled chook is inspired by Spain, possibly what I was thinking might be eaten by a farmer in a little village in the Spanish country side somewhere, and that is absolutely what I wanted my chicken to be cooked like on this day. Also, I really wanted some romesco sauce in my…

Brisket cheesesteak
This is but one of the ways I have made what could be loosely described as a Philly Cheesesteak, or even more honestly described as being only very, very loosely based on the original model Philly Cheesesteak. I have reason to believe that tradition may stipulate that the steak is first thinly sliced and then…
