A very tasty mexican dish of shredded pork. This dish was featured in ‘Once Upon a Time in Mexico’ where Johnny Depp’s character would order it at every restaurant he ate, if it tasted too good, he would kill the chef. I got this recipe from a friend, There’s a recipe of it as cooked [...]

At work we decided to have a Chilli cook-off. I decided I wanted to do something right out there. After some googling I decided on a green Chilli. Unfortunately it requires Tomatillo, a green fruit similar to a Tomato, when they grow on the plant they have a delicate papery husk, and are a delightful [...]

This is a nice light soup, made slightly heavier by adding meatballs and serving with some yummy cheesy toast on the side. I’ve got a big cooking day tomorrow, so was good to make something nice and simple for dinner. The kitten paws in the background are not for eating.

A rich tasting Risotto with a slight pink colour to it through the use of a Rose/White Shiraz wine. The truffles add a nice earthy flavour to it. You can use pretty much any truffle product if you already have some in a jar, Truffle salt works really well cooked into the Shitake. I used [...]

It sounds like it’s fairly popular over in America ( with so much [...]

A month or so ago I bought an offset smoker, and I’ve been experimenting with a few different cuts of meat in it, This weekend I decided to do a fairly sizeable ( nearly 3kg ) whole shoulder of Lamb. This should have been a cheap cut of meat, but the butcher actually charged me [...]

I haven’t had a big fat meaty steak in quite a while, so the decision was made and a nice cut of T-bone was chosen from the butcher. I love steak and potato, I’ve been told you shouldn’t have them together for health reasons ( but that’s by the usual armchair nutritionists, so no idea [...]

I saw this over at SmittenKitchen and being a big fan of orangy chocolate I knew I had to make it. I actually planned to make it to go with the Fennel Icecream which is in the freezer still. I only got 100g of dark chocolate, 2oog would be a better quantity, that’s buying premium [...]

This is a really basic Jambalaya, It’s a good base, but needs a bit more flavour, some paprika, cayenne, etc would really help it stand out. 1 red capsicum chopped 1 chopped jalepeno, seeds removed 1 clove garlic, crushed 2 sausages ( nice fancy ones, not rubbish ), diced 1 Chorizo 1 chicken breast 3/4 [...]
