It’s nourishing bowl time here in AnotherFoodBloggers home. Brekkie is often a bone of contention here. Between the 3yr old wanting to skip brekkie and play games “shouting play with me, play with me” from my wife and I trying to be healthy with my homemade granola midweek to demolishing a bacon/egg sambo at the…

Steak tomato & brie crostini
All my favorite items in one place right here! Steak tomato & brie crostini is a winner. It’s great as a summer platter to serve amongst friends or as a lazy but “fancy” dinner with the family. Read on and see how I turned up the yummmm levels on this by incorporating my anchovy caper…
Blackened Salmon Tacos
It’s Taco Time! Taco Tuesday was yesterday here in AFB’s house. More specifically blackened salmon tacos served with a delicious grilled pineapple and avocado salsa. This beauty of a meal is really simple to make. You can be all “fancy” and present them all pretty and dainty. Or like me, get all the ingredients for…
Asian Pork Meatballs
These guys aren’t your avg meatballs! Boy are they good – it’s almost shameful to not try them at least once. Adding some spring onions, aromatic ginger, sesame & garlic packs these Asian pork meatballs with maximum flavor. The sweet & spicy sauce takes it to another level and it’s the perfect dinner for any…
Black Pudding Tacos
Black pudding tacos being showcased today!!! It’s been a minute since we did tacos on the page. So here is my latest offering in collaboration with Clonakilty Black Pudding. Perfect time to read up, get to the shops and be armed and ready for next week’s taco tuesday!! Keeping it pretty classic and simple with…
Chicken & Corn Salad
Crispy chicken skin is one thing but crispy chicken, avocado, corn and chili is well, simply a match made in heaven. This chicken & corn dish is one we have been eating for some time now. It’s been fine tuned, deconstructed, reconstructed and is now ready to share with the masses 😉 CORN Truthfully…
Chorizo Prawn Skewers
Luckily for me it’s pretty much ALWAYS grillin’ season here in QLD! Autumn is having highs of 24 c and lows of 11 c (but that’s at 4am!). It means I’m able to turn on my weber and cook cracking dishes like these chorizo prawn skewers all the time! Freshness from the delicious local prawns,…
Chicken Satay Sandwich
Chicken satay is one of those things that I just HAVE TO get everytime I order Asian takeaway. No matter how hungry I am or sometimes not even that hungry at all I ALWAYS have to order it. To me it’s the mark of a good takeaway – if you can do satay right! So…
Pumpkin Pork Risotto
Autumn has come here in Australia. Temperatures are cooler – still warm enough though in Brisbane but cool enough that I have stopped wearing shorts everyday! Time for AnotherFoodBlogger to whip up some autumnal dishes. The wife has even taken to turning the fire on. WTF! First up using one of my favourite ingredients, pork! …
Grilled Lamb & Black Pudding Skewers
It doesn’t get easier than cooking things on a skewer. I have teamed up with Clonakilty black pudding (which makes me very happy as I love the stuff!) so mixing it up with some delicious lamb mince, pairing it with a simple parsley salad and it’s job done!! Keep scrolling to read my ramblings and…
Crispy Fish Sandwich
Fried fish is one of those things I can’t live without. I feel healthy eating fish and then I feel like an adult / not being healthy by battering it and putting it inside bread! My crispy fish sandwich is quite simply a winner. Whip up some aioli using my pickled jalapenos and this guy…
Simple Crab Linguine
This simple crab pasta recipe certainly isn’t new and nor is it one I can say that I invented either. What I can attest to (in my humble opinion) that my version KICKS ASS!! Tons of finely chopped chili, plenty of spicy ginger & garlic, fragrant coriander leaf, quality olive oil and a good splash…
Chicken Caesar Sandwich
Caesar salad is my all time favourite salad! Anyone who reads my blog has probably recognized I am a fan of anything between 2 slices of bread too. It was only natural that putting a caesar salad inside of a burger bun was simply the right thing to do. I give you my delicious chicken…
Tandoori Lamb Cutlets
Truthfully I don’t eat a TON of Indian food. However, I do like a good korma,. This is probably mainly to do with my lack of adventure when living in Ireland as the offerings were never that great – sorry! I always found that I missed the vegetable element when I order a takeaway and…
Stuffed Capsicums
These black pudding stuffed capsicums are simply delish. At first I was a little apprehensive of this recipe as I always thought stuffed capsicums were a little old skool. Not gonna lie though I had fun re-making an old classic. Using some great homegrown (Irish) products in Clonakilty black pudding and some butternut squash and…
Bacon Jalapeno Mac n Cheese
It doesn’t come any more comforting than Mac n Cheese! A load of pasta, a simple yet uber delicious cheese sauce and with the addition of some crispy bacon, jalapeno slices it really doesn’t get any better! I often get asked about the food we eat at home. How come I ain’t the size of…
Wild mushroom risotto
Risotto is something that doesn’t need to be as hard to make as everyone seems to think it is. Follow these simple steps and you will have a DELISH wild mushroom risotto on the table in no time. It may well be 30+ degrees here in Bris-Vegas as we come into Christmas – WTF!!! It’s…
Pineapple/chili glazed chicken wings
Dinner doesn’t always need to be super fancy and sometimes you just can’t beat a big ol’ bowl of chicken wings. At the same time it would be rude not to do those wings justice. So with this homemade pineapple, chili & ginger glaze you will certainly be doing your wings proud. Oh and no…
BBQ Easy Carve Lamb Leg
Lamb is tasting great right now and even better when cooked using this recipe (if I do say so myself!!). This easy carve lamb leg gives you the best of both worlds with a quicker cooking time and the added flavour coming from the bone. Oh, and did I mention it’s easy to carve too…..
Citrus rubbed veal rump
You just can’t beat a good roast dinner. Growing up in Ireland with the colder weather and the large extended families it was all about the big Sunday roast! You couldn’t beat the smell wafting through the house of the herbed potatoes, many different types of veg and obviously the meat itself. Oh, the memories!!!…
Asian glazed pork belly, eggs & slaw
Sticky, packed with flavour and cooks within minutes. This Asian glazed pork belly works perfectly along side some scrambled eggs for a brekkie/brunch winner OR inside a brioche bun for the perfect dinner! Summer is just around the corner here in Bris-Vegas and the bbq is getting used pretty much everyday right now. I’m a…
Crispy pork belly, sweet potato & cider
Pork belly is one of those things that people either love or hate. I am on the LOVE side of it, that is as long as it’s done nice. This crispy skin pork belly is definitely one to impress. To cook the belly properly firstly you need a piece of meat that is balanced with…
Lamb burger, harissa & onions
It’s burgertime again in AnotherFoodBloggers home. This juicy lamb burger is definitely one of our favs! Combining that kick ass red pepper sriracha harissa recipe of mine, some top quality meat, crisp lettuce & sweet grilled onions this burger is a complete winner. There has to be something said for bbqing. It really does make…
Steak Tacos – carne asada
TACOS!!! Who doesn’t love em’? Well actually I think it’s more if you don’t love them then what the hell is wrong with you. Growing up in Ireland there wasn’t much Mexican cuisine readily available. Unless you can class some mince meat (usually beef) with a jar of tomato sauce, a packet of “mexican” seasoning,…
Ossobucco, porcini & marsala
Ossobucco. This isn’t something that I cook too often but when I do, my go to recipe involves this INSANE sauce. There is so much depth of flavour that it will make you want to just drink it straight from a cup! If ossobucco isn’t your thing then the sauce is also KILLER with some…
Beef cheeks, polenta, kale pesto
Wow! It’s been a hectic past few weeks here in Brisbane. AnotherFoodBlogger now has a new kitchen in which to create some kick ass food and recipes for you guys. In case you didn’t get it we have moved house. Still living in New Farm in Brisbane but just a new address. Beef Cheeks are…
Lamb Curry
Lamb Curry! You just gotta love it. It’s winter here in Brisbane and even though it’s only getting down to lows of 7 / 8 degrees celsius at night it still feels bloody cold. Strange considering we just moved from NYC where we had winters of -26c for a few years. You’d think we would…
It’s Parm Time!
It’s sandwich time at AnotherFoodBlogger’s house!! The flavour in this veal parm sandwich was so unreal we all struggled to put it down for fear of the other person snatching it. Garlic, spicy tomatoes, grilled bread, crispy veal and peppery rocket. Well, it’s like there was a party in my mouth and everyone was invited….
Chimichurri sauce
CHIMICHURRI!!! This has to be one of my all time favourite sauces! I also discovered the other day that my now 22 month old loves it too. This was evident to me when I kept getting “more, more”. AND then the next day she was walking around the house saying “churri, churri”. So 3 people…
Pork tenderloin, shiitake, honey mustard
Pork is one of my favourite sources of protein. Pork tenderloin is probably my favourite cut of pork. It’s inexpensive and so versatile. From some good old fashioned fried bacon for brekkie, to sliced ham in a lunchtime sandwich with AnotherFoodBlogger’s twist of course (check out my harissa recipe here) or to a whole piece…
Pulled Pork Hash
Pulled pork hash is one of my favourite brekkie dishes. With Christmas around the corner and it being hot hot hot here in Australia this is the perfect Christmas morning or Boxing Day brekkie/lunch for all the family! Leftover pulled pork Have you ever made pulled pork, eaten some great sandwiches and thought what am…
Scottish Lamb Stew
This is a recipe that I remember my now 97 year old granny making me quite frequently when I would visit Scotland growing up. I had some lamb that was perfect for stewing and the first thing that popped into my mind was cooking this lamb stew. Damn, I loved eating this so much. As…
Pulled Pork Sandwich
For those of you who have been following my last few blog/insta posts here is the finished product of them combined. The perfect marriage! This whopper of a pulled pork sandwich punches you in the face with it’s great flavour, from both the pork itself and the spicy BBQ sauce that’s so damn simple &…
Pulled Pork
Looking for a piece of meat that’s full of flavour and that you can turn into mutliple different dishes and that’s CHEAP, then look no further than pulled pork and my recipe below. I am not going to sit here and lie and tell you that I am a BBQ expert. Truthfully I only really…
Homemade BBQ sauce
Once you’ve read this you’ll never buy BBQ sauce again ( I hope )! It’s so damn simple to make it and the fact it will last about 2 – 3 months in the fridge makes it so much better! Having the weather we have in Brisbane I make a batch of this BBQ sauce…
Anchovy compound butter
Wanna add an extra kick to your steak? Then look no further than this compound butter. What’s compound butter? Read on my friend. Usually when I cook steak at home I like to just salt and pepper it and throw it on a hot pan/grill and serve it with mustard or lather that baby in…
Beef & Guinness Stew
I don’t cook many Irish dishes. Well that’s a bit of a lie, I cook potatoes quite often / every night but aside from that I don’t have a ton of recipes from my home country. This is one I found a while ago and edited a bit to put AnotherFoodBlogger’s twist on it. I…
Fried Chicken Sliders
Sometimes, just sometimes, the diet has to be thrown out the window and these fried chicken sliders are the perfect way to say ‘F you diet, something better has cropped up…!’ Deep Fried Mars Bar – is that a thing? I was never really into fried chicken until I moved to NYC. I guess the…
Simple Chicken Mushroom Pie
I created this chicken mushroom pie for my toddler. I have, like every parent a never-ending quest to get her to enjoy food and mealtimes as much as my wife and I do. She can be the pickiest of eaters, whose toddler isn’t?. She LOVES mushrooms and peas so I adapted a couple of “grown…
Beef Cheek Ragu
This beef cheek ragu recipe is a real winner with everyone, well except vegetarians – sorry! The time and love that needs to be put into this dish might seem a little intimidating at first but the final outcome is TOTALLY worth it. Truthfully though, once the prep is done the beef cheeks just need…
