Everybodies Favourite – Beer Can Chicken
Of all foods I think roast chicken is one that practically everybody (barring vegetarians) enjoy. It is really easy to cook, cheap and it looks pretty cool as well. I like the fact it can be enjoyed on its own or as leftovers in a myriad of different dishes. However with all the great things...
Easy as Pie – Key Lime Pie
I am a massive Dexter fan. The show is superb, the books are not that great. In season three (episode seven “Easy as Pie”) Dexter’s confidant Camilla Figg is hospitalised with terminal cancer so Dexter the very empathetic serial killer agrees to find her the perfect Key Lime Pie before she passes.

I have recently invented the concept of a Salad Trading Scheme (STS), much like the federal governments Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) where corporations can offset pollution...

I can’t believe it people have looked at my page before I have posted anything. Here is a little tid bit to wet your appetite. This recipe was featured on the first episode of The Gourmet Farmer (Thurdays 7:30 on SBS). It is really simple and fresh. I advise giving it a go whilst tomatoes...
