Poulet a la moutarde de Dijon – Chicken with a Dijon Mustard Sauce
My interpretation of a classic French dish from the Burgundy region. The sauce is really moorish, I couldn’t get enough of it.
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 never...
Easter Creation – White Chocolate & Macadamia Hot Cross Buns
Easter is an interesting time of year. It is usually my break for the year. This I feel as if work has only just started and Easter is upon us. It has snuck up on me. I think I prefer Easter to Christmas because it is not as commercialised (noting that the true meaning of...

Stolen – Lasagne
I always like cooking something great for Sunday dinner. I usually plan all week what I am going to cook up. Strangely this week I had no such plans. There are so many great recipes on my must try list but I didn’t quite feel like any of them. Out of the blue a friend...
Salad Trading Scheme – Fattoush
The concept of salad is a bit foreign to me. It is usually a neglected side dish that I serve onto my plate and forget. It never gets eaten. 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...

8 Days to Go! – Preview Post – Tomato, Goats Curd & Basil Penne
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...
