Punch and Daisy and Scratch Patisserie – two of Mullumbimby’s finest
I’m pretty sure Mullumbimby is going to be the next big thing in the Northern Rivers. Yeah, pretty bold statement eh. Well I’m a pretty bold kind of guy – I’m overly confident in myself and I have a little voice in my head that tells me it is OK to fling aspersions about the…

Mango & Cactus Salsa… sure to improve your life
Salsa is a child of the summer. The moment I have made salsas three times in the same week is the exact same moment I swap my ensemble of a Darrel Summers’ jumper, sensible trousers and discount shoe mart runners for boardies, a singlet and thongs. When the salsas come out it means the weather…

Kimchi – my new love
I have a new love and I am not shy to tell you her name is Kimchi. Contrary to what you may be thinking, Kimchi is not an oriental lady-boy. My lady-boy’s name is Mi Long and she has kinda lost favour in my bedroom court, if you get what I mean. Mi Long has…

The Sunday Sesh… with my old mate Toodles
This is a little suggestion for your next Sunday roast typed by the hand of my old friend, confidant and peer (Peer? What an ass spank of a word. Who the fuck created that word anyway? It sounds like a word that should be reserved for exclusive use by the royal family… although I guess…

Foam Cafe, Lennox Head, NSW
I woke to a crisp morning air, but soon enough the sharpness of the early morning air was contrasted, thick with the aromas of shitty coffee and burnt toast. The smell did not stem from our kitchen but it was there… in the air… filling my nasal passage. The decision to get the hell outta…

Burger Buns a la Stephane Raynaud’s “Gourmet Hotdogs”
I have had burgers before, not in the biblical sense, but a good burger is something I like to eat on a regular basis. It is not about the weather, or a mood thing, or to do with religion, I just like to eat burgers… straight into my face hole. During my last twenty years…

Moreton Bay bug and prawn spaghetti
It’s heating up. As we charge our way through a cracking spring like a boatload of rampaging white men through any indigenous tribe they came across, we have nothing but the glory of summer in full flight, wings spread and soaring high above like some kind of really big bird (not big bird though because…
