Soz for all of the Asia talk that’s coming up and a recipe for Smoky Eggplant and Pork (kinda knicked from Morning Glory Restaurant, Hoi An)
As you may or may not know, Jennee and I have spent the last three weeks with our two boys, Seba and Obi, travelling around the Mid-North of Vietnam and Laos – get a bit of culture and a whole heap of good food into us, yeah? Well, now we’re back and I feel I […]

Cooking to entice someone to tile your bathroom
I really don’t know how I keep coming up with such witty and exciting new concepts. This one is an ode to my brother-in-law Barney. I think Barney has another name that his parents anointed him with at birth, but I don’t know what that is… Barney is a mysterious man, and I think that’s […]
