my late night lamb sandwich
After my disappointment at a recent experience at the local kebab joint I decided I owed it to myself and you, the people, to right this wrong and make my own far superior lamb kebab. At this point in time I am pleased to announce that my mission was an outstanding success.…

Cotechino Spaghetti
Cotechino (Fresh Salami Style Sausage) The Cotechino is similar to salami but that it has to be cooked – generally it is poached at a low heat for some hours. Its name comes from “cotica” meaning rind. The finely chopped skin slowly releases gelatine during the cooking process, giving Cotechino its incredibly silky texture. Traditionally…

The Standing Rib Roast
The standing rib roast… a celebration of life… unless you are the cow it came from. There’s nothing wrong with eating well, you know. Eating well is celebrating a task that we need to perform to live, taking it from boring or mundane and punch throwing into the realm of a ménage a trois with…

Burgers for boy’s night
Burgers for boy’s night It was myself and my sons Seba and Obi, both young. Probably to young to be watching hardcore porn and drinking straight whiskey, but it was boy’s night so I’ll let the age thing slide. And we also had the company of their cousin Gareth, who was doing work experience at…

Lamb-ancini (lamb arancini) with caper mayonnaise
Just a quick little note with a compulsory amusing anecdote about my life at the moment. Dear diary. This week I started a new job. The new kitchen has lots of fun toys for me to play with, new work mates for me to torment, a baker/pastry chef (I must have done something good in…

Beef and noodle stirfry aka. Piss easy beef and noodle stirfry
This is so easy that I shan’t even question your intelligence with over explained solutions to the world’s unrealised problems… or even a complete recipe! Once the ingredients are prepped up it’s going to take five or so minutes in a hot wok. Even chopping the beef and vegetables could be executed by a trained monkey (or carnie) in five minutes… ten minutes…

Dahl and flatbread for all of your hippy friends…
Why? Because hippies love Dahl. As soon as I started cooking this today they gathered near my front gate. It looked like a coal seam gas rally. There was incense and patchouli, girls with hairy armpits, environmentally unsound old cars (my favourite hippy-crit trait) and clothes reminiscent of the wardrobe from Mad Max. What do…

Big assed risotto with chicken, chorizo and prawns to impress a crowd
When I pulled myself out of bed this morning I was met with the lingering smell of smoky goodness from our adventures the previous evening (just to clarify they were cooking adventures) and they memories came flooding back. No, that’s a lie. The memories sporadically trickled in like David Hasslehoffs fan mail. A fuck off…

Rabbit stuffed with chorizo and apple braised in cider… just in case it floods…
At even the remotest thought of being flooded in these days we are smart enough to stock up on a few essential items to make our cabin fever ease itself in all gentlemanly like. That will always include a small nations yearly consumption of alcohol, meat of some description and probably not spam and army…

Lasgane (or lassarnyer)
I do declare that if you start with something delicious like say, a nice beef ragu* alla bolognese and some fresh pasta sheets, and then combine previously mentioned delicious things with big fat layer of béchamel sauce and possibly bake the combination of said ingredients in a 180C oven for somewhere around the 30-40 minute…
