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…

Potato, chorizo and capsicum on the fire
This is something that I first made as a side dish for a little barbecue, but as I ate it I definitely had the feeling that it would do damn fine for itself as the main event… the star attraction… the big kahuna. So, I guess that bit of information is so you can work…

Okra with tomato and spices
I dare say you either love or hate okra. Everyone I know either loves it or hates it, and that is enough of a focus group based experiment for me to deduce that you will be in one of these categories too. Either way is fine by me – I’m always going to want you…

Grilled tumeric chicken
Fresh tumeric and kafir lime leaf is truly a beautiful combination. Like peaches and cream, the fat kid and cake, Winston Churchill and his cigar or Luke Skywalker and his sister. I fell in love with the combination pretty quickly after taking up tenure as head chef at a Thai restaurant in the Northern Rivers…

Smoked brisket pate with the leftover brisket from your weekend cook
This is a little something I came up with just the other day to use a little leftover brisket from the weekend cook. I am never disappointed with a pile of smoked brisket leftovers and I am happy to consume that brisket in a myriad of ways, but however many ways I enjoy eating brisket…

Chicken mole is good
Chicken mole is good. Mole, in Mexican, simply means sauce. But what a sauce it is. This is one version in a sea of quite possibly thousands. Put it on the table next to some corn, rice, salsas, avocado and/or crumbly cheese, and a big ol’ pile of warm tortillas. Always with a pile of…
