I’ve often felt a little deterred from making confit due to the sheer amount of oil involved – just from an economical perspective, but after recently reading a number of recipes for salmon confit that use an oven instead of a pan and only require the fish to be basted rather than swimming in oil,…

Spanish potatoes with pan fried salmon
I saw this dish made on TV. I have no idea what the program was as I came in part way through but they were in the north of Spain and it looked great so I gave it a try. Cut the potatoes in slices about 1 cm thick and boil until just done. In…
Fish, potato and sweet potato seasoned wedges and home made tartare sauce
I’m loving doing variations on fish and chips at the moment. Basically I’m a sucker for a great piece of fish and cooked potato. Where can you go wrong? In the aim of keeping to a slightly healthier option I did mostly sweet potato chips with this one. Wedges 1 sweet potato cut into thick…
Crazy quick potato gratin with salmon and mediterranean flavours
I’m not entirely sure I knew what I was making on my way home on Tuesday but I did manage to buy some asparagus and some salmon portions. After a bit of creative thought and checking on the availability of ingredients in the fridge/pantry, a plan started to come together. I decided to put some…

Fresh apple puree and crispy pork belly
We had an absolutely awesome dinner on Saturday night at Darleys restaurant at Lilianfels in Katoomba. It was voted best regional restaurant in NSW and has two hats. I was inspired. Darleys at Lilianfels we drove back to the big smoke via the Bells Line of Road and stopped into one of the 9 apples…
Lazy Sunday lamb roast
It’s wet and cold and miserable and that means loafing about in my PJs making roast lamb. I did this one fairly traditionally with the obligatory garlic and rosemary, home made mint sauce, roasted potato and steamed baby carrots and peas. I don’t think I really need to write out a recipe for this whole…
