I finally mastered a roast garlic hummus for a recent BBQ which is definitely worthy of a belated blog update. I spent Friday making dips and Saturday morning putting together the salads and everything was a hit. Roast garlic hummus 2 cans chickpeas or two cups cooked chickpeas 2 tablespoons tahini 4 tablespoons olive oil…

Scientifically special Korean fried chicken wings
I was going to call this post ‘Scientifically perfect Korean fried chicken wings’ but perfection when it comes to food is often subjective. I was, however, suitably impressed by how much time and effort the fellow who came up with this specific recipe put into the trial and error of determining the best combination of…
Trio of sliders
First of all I am very excited as I have finally found a source of slider buns. Hooray. Sliders make so much sense to me. I mean why would you have just one large burger in one flavour when you can have three small ones in three different flavours? I’ve been on a mission to…
Produce from the south
We just spent a slightly wet but really splendid weekend away at Honeymoon Bay in Jervis Bay.

Healthy mexican salad with crispy skinned ocean trout and unhealthy whole egg mayonnaise
Well nobody is perfect right? This meal is pretty easy to whip up on a weeknight. I keep batches of boiled black beans in tubs in the freezer just for these occasions. All I need to do is remove them from the freezer and boil on the stove in water for a few minutes, let…

We were supposed to have a dinner guest and bought a mountain of seafood with which to make Mexican treats and wash down with our selection of fine mescals.

Too easy

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…
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…
