Bronnie’s potato salad and corn salad a la Lefty
These salads were both guided to the point where they exist today by a couple of chefs at our restaurant, the Stockpot Kitchen. They are both delicious on the banquette table, at a picnic, at a high tea, at a low tea, even packed for a camp out with your drunkard mates or, I might…

Pasta with really bloody simple cherry tomato sauce
This is the simplist pasta sauce recipe. Use cherry tomatoes if you have heaps in the garden or whatever other type of tomato you have will do the job too. The recipe is in video form because I couldn’t be arsed typing it out.

Fried chicken chow mein (or fried chicken chow nice)
Chicken chow mein is kinda a rough moniker for this most famous heavy weight of Australian-Chinese restaurant cuisine. Of course “chow” is fine because you always want to chow down on this dish, but “mein”? This is not mean at all. In fact, I would go as far as to say it’s very nice. Yup.…

Beef and beer stew with secret lentils
I put a tin of lentils in here just because it’s probably something you think you hate. You will not hate them in this. In fact, you will most probably fall in love with them and want to marry them. Plus, your bowel will thank you for getting a little roughage in your diet. BEEF…
