Mussels with bacon, apple cider and cream… and introducing “Matty mis en place”
Just yesterday I was going to get some mussels and cook them up for dinner. Mussels with bacon, onion, cider and cream, I thought. I’ve really been feeling the mussel lately… wait, I believe even I should re-think the wording of that one… Anyway, my mouth has been yearning for a dripping hot creamy mussel……

Warm salad of squid, chickpeas, olives, tomato and herbs with nutty za’atar
It is difficult to conjure up a cracking meal with what can be only described as eff all. I am not a magician; I don’t even have the skills to do a basic card trick and I certainly do not possess the powers of alchemy. What is not difficult though, is creating a cracking meal…

Mussels with chorizo, saffron and tomato… so very simple
Mussels can be simple as fuck and really impressive and sometimes, so can this ol’ blog. Watch this… Mussels are a light bulb moment. There is a picture of a bowl of mussels with a side of crusty bread in the dictionary right next to the definition of the phrase “light bulb moment” (please don’t…

Sri Lankan-esque Prawn Curry a la Peter Kuruvita
This is a prawn version of the pork and black pepper curry recipe that I was given by Peter Kuruvita, and when I say given to me I really mean I fair and square pulled the recipe straight off his website. Cheers Peter! Smiley face all up in my head right now as this is…

Moreton Bay bug and prawn spaghetti
It’s heating up. As we charge our way through a cracking spring like a boatload of rampaging white men through any indigenous tribe they came across, we have nothing but the glory of summer in full flight, wings spread and soaring high above like some kind of really big bird (not big bird though because…

A day of celebration and recognition for turtles across this great globe of ours, and what better way to celebrate and recognize with them then to eat a pizza? Cowabunga dude!

Prawn san choi bau with squid balls for our last night in Iluka
This folks, is sadly my last post from Iluka. My seven days of love and sunshine are almost at an end. A week of a post a day (a PB for me too, I might add) devoted purely to our holiday eating is almost done. Soon the afternoons when I sit on the verandah of…
