Been a while since I posted sorry. Life’s been hectic. We had some respite from the genral chaos of life last weekend and put the smoker to good use. Excuse my pic of the smoker Sasha built. My camera was AWOL at the time of it’s construction. I absolutely love the smoker. Apart from a…

Too easy
Throw BBQ prawns on the que and serve with your favourite salad and a slice of lime. Enjoy
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…
Teatro Culinario
During our travels we ate dinner at the fantastic Casa Crespo on Oaxaca Mexico. Described as culinary theatre the degustation (only available through reservation) is kicked off by a demonstration of cooking a seafood broth in individual bowls with hot rocks, a traditional method of cooking to the indigenous of this area. We chose to…

Flavoursome fish
Leatherjacket is a white fish with a prolific bone structure and a full bodied, meaty flavour. It is for this flavour that it is worth persevering with the bones. Sasha makes a lovely simple dish by frying leatherjacket in butter, capers and chopped parsley with a drizzle of lemon juice served with dutch carrots, new…
Sunday soufflé
I’m playing a bit of catchup here. We’ve been super busy and I try and avoid the computer as much as I can when I’m not working. It’s hard to be as interesting writing about dishes you’ve cooked after some time has passed but I’ll persevere. Gruyere and parmesan cheese soufflé with steamed greens and…
What’s up Skip?
Warning. Some cute furry Australian native animals were most definitely harmed in order to create this meal. Kangaroo. It’s lean, tasty, good for you and a more environmentally friendly option than beef. Oh… and it’s cheap. There is so much going for this great source of nutrition I highly recommend trying it if you haven’t….
Comfort food
Sometimes comfort food is stodgy winter fare involving bread, pasta and lots of crispy roast vegetables. Sometimes comfort food is chicken and vegetable noodle soup when you’re sick and can’t digest anything that doesn’t involve a large amount of liquid. This post, however, is about the kind of comfort food you need when you’ve been…
Cosy collaboration spelt
I had some fantastic spelt pasta in the cupboard dying to be used. I’ve been off bread and pasta for a while now and missing them somewhat terribly at times so I decided to give this stuff a go. It’s so good I can now honestly say I no longer have to miss pasta. Delicious….
