• Special fried rice. Why is it so special? It just is, that’s why.

  This cracking way to use up extra Christmas ham (that you will probably want to book mark for next year) is based on the Aussie-Chinese take away restaurant classic – the special fried rice. Why is it called special fried rice? I am not really sure, but maybe it had the little pink shrimpy things…

• Sausages and lamb ribs and eggplant… and red rice.

  I would like to start by informing you all that I really like a good sausage. These sausages are quite frankly what I consider to be the best sausages in these here parts – made by the fine folks at Hayters Hill Butchery. His bratwurst (Well, not his bratwurst. I know nothing of this man’s…

• Really tasty campfire pork and other campsite stories

  It should be known that it is not very often that we will set up our tent at an actual caravan park. Very seldom in fact. I would (will) go so far as to say unless it is the only option, we ain’t going to do it. This was one such occasion when it was…

• Main Street Burger Bar and Mr Cook, my year 11 form room teacher

  The café roulette wheel that is Byron Bay has been spun once again – this time revealing another new burger bar oozing with all of the qualities that new age burger bars possess; an American milkbar-esque fit out, quality local produce, home made fricking soda and lastly a certain amount of hipsterism because as we…

• Friendly Fire; Sushi

  “ANOTHER SHARK ATTACK AT BYRON BAY” has been the headline news a little too often in the last few months. Are there even more sharks or are we just looking a little harder for them now? Who knows. Either way, the sharks have been hungry this year. I think it’s possibly because we have been…

• Campfire (or possibly home oven) Chicken with Broad Beans and Bacon

• Il Carretto Mobile Wood Fired Pizza, Bexhill

  It would not be a lie to say I like a good pizza. In fact I would often be said to enjoy the company of a good pizza more than I would enjoy the company of a slightly carbonated, hopsy, alcoholic beverage. Of course, if I can get them both in the same room at…

  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…

• Where did the good kebab shops go…

  Abrakebabra… and then the magic was gone. Yes, this is a story of my disenchantment with the state of the local purveyors of the bread wrapped meaty treat; the kebab. I remember a time when getting a kebab was a bit of theatre. A middle aged gentleman with a black moustache, button up shirt and…
