Thai three flavour crazy sauce
*This is an old story about the time I introduced my friend Paul to this three flavour sauce for the first time. I like the story so it’s here for y’all today* I awoke this morning to the sight that some rude bastard, probably a local pub owner or something similar, had dumped a shit…

Christmas ham that you have cooked by yourself from scratch
Now, there’s going to be a lot of different stories floating around the world-wide super-web around this point in time all telling you how you should cook a ham. Some will claim to be good. Some will claim to be the best. All I know is that there are a lot of different ways to…

Smoked turkey breast with bacon & pineapple stuffing
You and I have my friend and fellow lover of the flame, Mr Grant Coleman, to thank for this one. I didn’t even think I liked turkey until he convinced me that we were going to cook it recently. The following words of turkey praise are honestly words I did not think I would be…

New school rolled beef roast in the smoker
This is the old school, poor mans rolled beef roast. A piece of meat traditionally cut from the belly and/or lower end of the brisket and rolled for slice-abilty. This is the kind of beef roast my ma would cook up. Except hers would be sans every herb, garlic, spice and probably salt and pepper…

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…

Really easy barbecued baby snapper with Thai flavours
This is the quick version of “Barbecued baby snapper with Thai flavours”. If you had the time and the inclination you could certainly make your own spice paste from scratch, but using a store-bought paste for this means that you can have it on the table in 20 minutes. This is about the amount of…
