BBQ lamb shoulder, chermoula & herby yoghurt
First up we’re going to get a lamb shoulder seasoned up with some herbs and spices and then we get that lamb into the drum smoker and let it ride for a few hours or so. While that party is happening in the drum you can make some delicious tasting accoutrements to accompany that lamb.…

Prawn toasts
I was at a party. It was a pretty good party too, ticking all of the boxes a good party should probably tick; there was entertainment, good folks offering a good variety of conversation, brain holiday fluid and, of course, catering. The catering was all very delicious, but I remember the prawn toast making me…

Chicken with white wine
Yes, this is based on the French classic, coq au vin. No, I am not as original and cool as you. No, I do not care. Yes, I am going to make this anyway. I’ve made a couple of slight changes to a traditional coq au vin due to what was in the house at…

Smoked cheeseburgers
These can be done in an offset smoker, kettle, drum smoker or whatever else you have hanging around on your verandah. I guess the key is this; you will need to be cooking away from a flame to get the smokiness in there. It’s just gotta be something that’s going to let you hang out…

You know, the type of succotash you make when you don’t want to go into town because that disease is floating around there somewhere, so you make something that is very loosely based on succotash with whatever is left in your fridge…

Vietnamese grilled pork ribs with shallot oil
A drum or bullet smoker is perfect for these, or you could use indirect heat in a kettle barbecue. The marinade recipe is per rack of so you can just multiply that by however many racks of ribs you need to satisfy your hunger. Don’t forget you have a calculator on your phone if your…

Easy peasy mac and cheesy
This is a version of macaroni and cheese that is bloody quick and easy. It is simply cooked macaroni in one pot and cheese sauce in another pot and then you get to use your evolved dexterity to pour the cheese sauce over the macaroni and mix it together. That is the simple version. You…

BBQ chicken with romesco sauce
I think this grilled chook is inspired by Spain, possibly what I was thinking might be eaten by a farmer in a little village in the Spanish country side somewhere, and that is absolutely what I wanted my chicken to be cooked like on this day. Also, I really wanted some romesco sauce in my…

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…
