Celebrity Iron Chef Vietnamese

My taller half strikes again with the Asian flavours, this time with a fantastic marinated tofu and vietnamese noodle salad. Chúc ngon miệng

Pork chops with crackling and fresh figs

Sometimes I just really love a nice pork chop cooked as is. Pork has a wonderful flavour on it’s own and savouring that with a good salad is a perfect meal for me. I buy my pork chops with the skin on and remove it, salt it and fry it skin side down with the…

More tasty marinated chicken mexican inspirations

I made corn wraps (due to lack of tortillas) on Saturday night again. Practising the mexicano is tres awesome. Marinated chicken breast (lime juice, chilli, garlic, coriander) Coriander Sliced avocado Spanish onion, tomato and chilli salsa White mozzerella Simple and divine. I think the use of the really white mozzeralla was a much better result…

Invasion day carne fest

Just prior to our holiday at the end of last year, my ever so industrious taller half constructed a smoker. It’s called an Ugly Drum Smoker, somewhat inaptly in my opinion as I don’t personally find it that ugly. In any case as the name suggests it is made with a 44 gallon drum complete…

Ingredients for serving two 3/4 spanish onion sliced into rings 1/4 spanish onion finely diced and crispy fried 1…

Healthy salmon goes a wee bit naughty

We were reading about smoked salmon with maple syrup while we were away which we’re very keen on trying out in our home made drum smoker. In the mean time Sasha made steamed salmon with a salad that’s probably looking familiar by now and all drizzled with maple syrup. Sash’s take on nectarine salad 2…

Mexican: Chicken tacos

This was my first attempt at making something as authentically Mexican as I could which is a little tricky as sourcing the correct ingredients is impossible. The are only about 3000 Mexicans living in Australia which solves my long pondered problem as to why Mexican food in Australia is so crap. The key to really…

Celebrity fish curry

I’ve had a bit of a rethink in terms of the way I approach this blog. I’m finding that I often don’t really have time to update it as regularly as I like and pinning my bf down for his recipes can be a tricky process but it seems such a waste to leave them…
