Brisket cheesesteak
This is but one of the ways I have made what could be loosely described as a Philly Cheesesteak, or even more honestly described as being only very, very loosely based on the original model Philly Cheesesteak. I have reason to believe that tradition may stipulate that the steak is first thinly sliced and then…

Camp oven lamb shanks with peas
I spend a bit of time thinking about how I might be able to get another serve of peas into me. I feel like the amount of time I might spend thinking about the pea is not outrageous in any way though, but probably just the right amount. The pea is worth a thought. The…

Chimichurri
I have made many different versions of chimichurri sauce over the years and I am absolutely cool with that because I feel like this is the kind of sauce that lends itself to s little tweak every now and then, much like a crack heads right eye. Chimichurri a good sauce for whatever type of…

Pasta with really bloody simple cherry tomato sauce
This is the simplist pasta sauce recipe. Use cherry tomatoes if you have heaps in the garden or whatever other type of tomato you have will do the job too. The recipe is in video form because I couldn’t be arsed typing it out.
