I’d googled at length trying to {Tags: Brewing, Food Science, Technique} {More...}

Tonight’s dinner was garam masala chicken, based on a Neil Perry recipe which is based on another Neil Perry recipe in which he cooks fish. I’ve poached fish in garam masala and coconut milk before when my wife brought a friend from work home and I wanted to do something different, but the technique is {Tags: Asian, Chicken, Dinner} {More...}

Tuna are sea water fish that are noted for how fast they can swim, in some cases up to 80km/h. This doesn’t stop them being caught, and if it affects their taste it does so in a positive way. I love tuna steaks, and I think fresh tuna is something people don’t eat a lot {Tags: BBQ, Fish, Homestyle, Technique} {More...}

The other night on Masterchef Junior, the kids decided to make one and I decided to make it for dinner tonight – my wife grinning that I had drawn inspiration from a kids cooking {Tags: Chicken, German, Homestyle, Technique} {More...}

I have no idea what this is. I based it off something I read once that was spectacularly retro and used sherry instead of the red wine, but the way I do it today works and we have it quite regularly. It’s a lot of ingredients, but it produces a lot of flavours and it’s {Tags: baking, Chicken, French, Homestyle} {More...}

Fairtrade coffee (a system intended to pay coffee farmers a fairer price for their product) always seemed a bit suspicious to me, largely because I know as someone who tries to eat (and drink) ethically, that pictures of happy coffee farmers wearing knitted clothing are probably more marchitecture than grounded in fact.
