Tamarillo chutney
The tamarillo season is in full swing in my neck of the woods so it’s time to bust out this little recipe that I came up with one year when a friend of mine gave me a shitload* of these sour little bastards from his heavily laden tree. It’s a great little chutney for stuff…

Charred cabbage caesar salad
This is a really surprisingly tasty salad so I will just let you make it and fully enjoy the surprise yourself. I like this the most when the cabbage is grilled over coals, but I still don’t hate it if the cabbage is cooked in a cast iron pan. CHARRED CABBAGE CAESAR ½ green cabbage,…

Pulled lamb biryani
I have children who are pretty certain that they do not like curry… any type of curry from any country on any planet in any universe. They just do not like curry. “Whoa up there kiddos”, is what I reckon, “I accept your challenge”. So, over the past few months I have set about making…

Grilled red emperor with coriander chimichurri sauce
Chimichurri is now a pretty famous Argentinian steak sauce but I am going to let you in on a little secret today; it is also bloody good on pork, lamb, chicken, seafood and vegetables. There you go – pretty much good for everything. So the total opposite of, say, a corona virus. Today we’re going…

Big ol’ kale and cheese pie
Sauteed kale, onion, garlic, herbs and cheese mixed with enough egg and cream to hold it together, put to bed under a blanket of puff pastry and then cooked in the oven for 45 minutes or so until it’s golden and delicious. This is the kind of thing that can be an easy healthy lunch…

Almost succotash
This I a little something I shall describe as a Covid lockdown succotash. You know, the type of succotash you make when you don’t want to go into town because that disease is floating around there somewhere, so you make something that is very loosely based on succotash with whatever is left in your fridge…

Vietnamese grilled pork ribs with shallot oil
A drum or bullet smoker is perfect for these, or you could use indirect heat in a kettle barbecue. The marinade recipe is per rack of so you can just multiply that by however many racks of ribs you need to satisfy your hunger. Don’t forget you have a calculator on your phone if your…
