Jamie O’s Moroccan Mussels
I truly believe Jamie Oliver is a food legend. I used to think he was just an English prat on TV who likes to season his food from a height not unlike that of the empire state building, and talk a lot of English rubbish. Over the years I have come to realize he talks…

Two Steak Sauces
TWO STEAK SAUCES. 1 FOR SCOTTY AND 1 FOR MARK PEPPER SAUCE “Green peppercorns, cream and gravy mix… that’s pepper sauce isn’t it?” is what I would probably say if I was head chef at the local RSL or servo tuckshop and someone had asked me how to make peppercorn sauce for steak. I would…

Quite honestly I love it when she starts getting all Jessica Fletcher on…

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…
