All-of-the-things ‘slaw
All-of-the-things ‘slaw Yup. Coleslaw not purely consisting of the traditional cabbage, carrot and possibly onion, but instead this coleslaw has pretty much all of the things in it. Quite contradictory to my views of the past I might add – those who know me or who think they know me through these interweb pages will…

Lamb shnitzel with mint sauce (or maybe in a sandwich with tomato ketchup)
The trans-Tasman comradery and a good piece of lamb I am not sure the reason, but whatever it is, we as Australians always seem to be able to afford ourselves the time for a big old cross seas pointing of the finger and a laugh with our neighbours the Kiwis (and them to us I’m…

It is important to remember that this involves more than just sending your offspring to their place of learning (yes, that’s questionable but we’ll get…

Venison, root vegetable and stout stew… and navigating a camp kitchen
Our recent trip to NZ had very slight undertones (subtle as a slap in the face with a wet fish) of cooking and/or eating whatever local produce the frozen, undulating, sheep dotted, river covered landscape could offer. This day we were making our way back to Methven, and the company of our good friends Troppo…

Smoky grilled chicken
I really do like a good yard bird. This is a good yardbird type experience. A smoking hot bronzed bird splayed out in front of you… so moist and ready for the taking… it’s good times. Euphemisms aside, if they should really ever be put aside, this is some damn tasty bird. If you can…
