I think my favourite taco that I tried in ‘Mexico’s best taqueria’ was a mushroom and zucchini taco. The juicy mushrooms were something else. This recipe made enough for 6 tacos which would feed two. Slice zucchini into thin strips, sprinkle with oregano and olive oil and bake in a pan with one spanish onion…
Marinara stew
This meal was borne out of the need to use up various items in the refridgerator before they went off. I hate to waste food so this is what we ended up with. 1 onion – chopped 1 green capsicum cut into thin rings 2 tomatoes – chopped 300g good marninara mix 1/2 cup of…
Fresh figs stuffed with goats cheese and wrapped in bacon
This is possibly one of the most divine things you could ever put in your mouth, chew, then swallow. Seriously good. Simply make four cuts into the top of the fig, pop in a nice amount of good quality goats cheese, wrap in bacon, drizzle with honey then bake in the oven until bacon is…

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…
