Chicken san choy bau
I initially wanted to knock up a pork san choy bau and do you know what? This could really easily have been a pork san choy bau if I replaced the chicken mince with pork mince – pork belly mince would be particularly nice – but my Jennee is damn sure that chicken is the…

spaghetti bolognese, aka spag bog, on the bbq

Special sauce
This is my recipe for special sauce. We use it at our restaurant, the Stockpot Kitchen, and lots of people ask me for the recipe. Here is the recipe. My debt to you is paid in full. SPK SPECIAL SAUCE This is enough for a round of burgers and then some to put in the…
