It’s difficult to flesh it out much more than the title. It’s easy, stupid easy. In fact if you were to have a girl around to your place to cook her dinner and you cooked this and made some garlic bread and got a bottle of wine and a salad, I reckon you’d be a {Tags: Egg, Italian, Mushrooms, Pancetta, Pasta, Quick} {More...}

ABC Radio Brisbane has just mentioned on Twitter that Poh Ling Yeow, recently famous due to the TV show Masterchef, has offered that salt and pepper calamari is our national dish. It took my five minutes to calm down enough to be flabbergasted. I have some strong opinions about national dishes, and I want yours. {Tags: Australian, Poll} {More...}

Hot weather desserts are tricky. No cakes or anything that will run the oven too hot in a Sydney summer (and hence heat the house up worse), a lot of people revert to ice cream with chocolate topping or fruit salad. I love panna cottas, they’re a really rather simple thing to make but I {Tags: Blueberry, Cinnamon, Dessert, Italian, Panna Cotta} {More...}

I had a post about this on the old site, I love Cornish pasties and I make pretty good ones. Now a lot of people will argue that it’s not a Cornish pastie the way I make them, because they have carrot in them which is a cardinal sin of making pasties. Well screw those {Tags: Homestyle, Pasties, Pastry} {More...}

The bottleshop down the road had a basket out, “Free Habñeros, Please Take!”. Well that’s not something I am going to argue with right? They politely asked me to take the chillies, it wouldn’t be civil to decline. I took four of the habañeros out of the basket, leaving about twelve. I took them home {Tags: Carrot, Chillies, Habañeros, Sauce} {More...}

Blogged about on the old version of the site was blueberry soup, a truly gourmet and eccentric undertaking experienced by a friend of mine in Hong Kong as a breakfast delicacy. We hunted down a recipe and I made it, it’s delicious. Surprisingly savory, really quite easy to make and certainly has the “wow!” factor {Tags: Blueberry, Breakfast, Gourmet, Soup} {More...}

Pizza you make yourself is always significantly better than pizza you can buy from anywhere else. I think people are inclined to over value of meat on pizza, in fact some of the most delicious pizzas I’ve mad have had no meat on them at all, and not anywhere near the metric truckload of cheese {Tags: Pizza, Vegetarian} {More...}

On the previous incarnation of this site I wrote about the Jamie Oliver iPhone app “20 minute meals” and how much of an epic bargain it is. It’s been updated in the last few weeks, with five extra recipes and a couple of other features. One thing that struck me as a tiny bit annoying {Tags: Good Food Guide, iPhone, Jamie Oliver} {More...}
