Cal the burger
Straight into it. No foreplay today folks. It’s Monday, I got things to do! First get yourself a kilo of fresh local squid. This may not be practical if you do not live next to an ocean that has an abundance of seafood, and more specifically squid. If you don’t feel like a sea change…

Banana Cake for Sammy… yeah. It’s all about Sammy at the mo’
Banana cake. I actually have never had a reason to contemplate making a banana cake until now. And that reason is my dear friend Sammy, and her desire to impress her new beau. Myself, I think banana cakes are for the elderly and very creative monkeys, of which I am neither… Yet. I don’t know…

porking good polenta balls
Something I had to share with you because it was just so effing awesome. On Sunday Jennee declared she would make dinner that night, and when I enquired about what it may be she had her mysterious little it’s-going-to-be-something-you’re-going-to-love-and-I’m-not-going-to-tell-you thing going on. Quite honestly I love it when she starts getting all Jessica Fletcher on…

Camp food (cooking with wood) part 2
BREAKFAST Wake up to the pretty birdies, get that fire burning again cos we need some coffee and a big breakfast. We always have a big breakfast when we’re camping because there’s much relaxing to do and you certainly wouldn’t want to be trying that out on an empty stomach. Baked beans, a bit of…

Camp food (cooking with wood) part 1…
Camp oven roast lamb with cannelini beans, tomato and olives Camp food? Cooking with wood? Oh my how the images flow into my head… Cooking with wood (hehem) is something I am a fan of, in more ways then one. Hey, I’ve told you before, food excites me, yeah. If I may indulge myself (going…

Jennee’s taking over… accidental mussels with fennel and orange
The apparition… cooks. As I said in my previous post (I am basically just gonna take this shit over!!) I spent the weekend at my sisters… yes the same sister that set the spam challenge oh so many months ago when the blog was just a fledgling learning how to fly… when no one would…

Paul’s Caul, typos and all… and more photos to boot! Holidayfoodisthebestshitever (part 2)
So three days have passed since my last post and many meals have occurred, we have left no stone unturned, we listened to our friend’s advice, local’s insider knowledge and even just took a punt. I must admit the kind of place we didn’t try was a cheap place as my bank account will attest…

china tucker… the food diary of my Italian born, Australian raised friend who sometimes lives in China…
“a Gitana (my friend’s name is Gitana) blurb on kung fu and food in china” Last year, I trained in rural China at a kung fu school for four months. Despite the wonderful training with extremely knowledgeable Shaolin Masters and the attractiveness of simple living, being cooked for is also seemingly attractive… it is not…

One ingredient… sweet and savoury… capers
The caper challenge. Or should I say “the caper not-challenge?” PS. This has nothing to do with what sneaky little activities you get up to on a Friday night. The caper is a good friend of mine, and could be your friend too (if you weren’t such a prick). You should always have some hiding…

Paul’s Caul. Typo’s and all… Homage to the breakfast chef… and chorizo and croissant pudding
It has to be the most under-rated job in any kitchen, not generally by people who work in kitchens but by you, the general public. It’s the meal you’ll spend the least on, expect it to be served quicker then the others and, by the most part just order what you want regardless of…
