This is a show stopper of a dinner. If you love tender luscious pork that’s spiked with Asian flavours and topped with the crispiest of cracklings then this is a dish you’re going to want to make. The pork element is based on Chinese style siu yuk pork which isn’t traditionally served with any sauce […]

You could limit it’s culinary passport somewhat and replace the angel hair pasta with noodles or rice but Italian pastas have a different, […]
A while ago I published a post titled Thomas Keller’s Perfect Roast Chicken. I love it for it’s ease and simplicity and it’s been my go to roast chicken recipe ever since. But I decided I needed to do some further testing to see how Thomas Keller’s roast stood up to other hot contenders for […]

The duck element is purely optional and can be replaced with another meat/poultry or even left out entirely as the gnocchi and sauce are delicious just on their own. I was making this for […]
I’ve been wanting to make Greg Malouf’s salmon tarator ever since I first saw him cook it on the television series Food Safari when host Maeve O’Meara proclaimed it the best salmon she’s ever tasted. Now when I hear someone say that, especially Maeve whose had her fair share of incredible meals, I get very […]
