Smoked lamb shanks with BBQ sauce and polenta

I’ve gotta be honest – lamb with a sweet glaze is not my favourite type of lamb. I don’t hate it, it’s just that I feel like sweet glazed lamb is herby-tangy lambs’ lesser cousin. The one who can’t add up so well. Imma still be civil to the lesser cousin though because we are…

Garlicky pickled jalapeños

Home made pickled jalapenos are pretty much infinitely better than what you’ll buy at the supermarket. Sure, if you have a back-alley jalapeno dealer who is dishing out an artisan product from old potato sack in his or her shopping trolley, then yeah, you are probably going to be getting a pretty solid product. That…

Horseradish mayonnaise and king prawns

This is a simple little recipe for a simple little world. Bah. I wish. For the simple little world, that is. I can guarantee this will be the simplest dinner you’ve made since sand pit mud pie. I would say this recipe is so simple that it will need to be relegated to the league…

Mussels with fennel, saffron and herbs

I write this as I am experiencing a mussel hangover. A mussel hangover, for those who are not in the club, is when you cook enough mussels for at least a couple of people but you neglect to use the knowledge inside you that knows you really love to eat all of the mussels (yeah,…

(Mostly) grilled pork belly with orange & herbs

If you are into pointing fingers and letting people know how righteous your opinion is, you might call this out as a little bit of a cheaty type method of grilling. Well, that’s fine because I guess it is cheating. I’m not taking steroids or threatening competitors or even competing in a sport, but that…

Grilled lamb ribs

When my brothers and I were well younger, like knee high to a grasshopper or possibly back when pussy was a kitten, my Ma would throw a barbecue every now and then and if there was something that we were guaranteed at her barbecues was that she would be cooking a pile of lamb ribs…

Smoked duck breast with Thai red curry

This in an incarnation of a dish I had on the menu when I was the chef at a Thai restaurant in my past life. I am a big fan of the combination of the deliciousness of duck, red curry for the heat, lychees for a little bit of that exotic sweetness and Thai basil…

Hokkaido potato salad

This is a potato salad I first tried in Sapporo, Hokkaido, but as I would venture further around the island of Japan I realized it is a potato salad that is everywhere. Every izakaya, every supermarket, literally everywhere. But I sampled it in Hokkaido first so I just called it Hokkaido potato salad. The potato…

Curried potato salad

I like potato salad just as much as the next guy. Well, that might not be the correctest statement I have ever made, for if truth be told I probably like potato salad a whole heap more than the next guy. I know it’s not a competition or anything but I’m just saying that if…
