BBQ Korean Chicken
BBQ Korean chicken is on the menu today. Not in the form of spicy fried Korean chicken but my version of a classic roast chicken using Korean flavours. It’s a super simple dish to cook. Spatchcocking the chicken helps speed up the cooking process, and the rub/glaze is just simply killer – no other way…
Grilled prawns & saffron aioli
Today we are all about grilled prawns!! More specifically, grilled prawns & saffron aioli. Summer has just ended here in Australia, but it’s starting to warm up in other countries.

Vanilla Coconut Rice Pudding
Rice pudding is an old school classic. Definitely was one of my favorite desserts growing up. I guess for a lot of people it’s a love/hate relationship. Growing up having sloppy over/undercooked pudding served over and over again in rural Ireland (just like porridge for brekkie!) or at the school canteen for dessert. There is…
BBQ Peri Peri Chicken
Homemade BBQ peri peri chicken is what’s going on at AnotherFoodBlogger’s house and on the weber kettle right now. The sauce is smokey from charring the veg on the bbq, spicy from all that chili and balanced out with the acidity from the lemon juice and sherry vinegar. Marinade your chook overnight if possible…
Ricotta Cherry Toast
This ricotta cherry toast recipe is a cracking mid-week dinner, great party starter and perfect for an afternoon wine o clock snack!

Loaded Smashed Potatoes
It’s that time of year again where the waistline took a beating and we are talking all sorts of nonsense about giving up drink, throwing a small fortune at gym memberships and private trainers!! Well, aside from that it’s also NFL playoffs and that means people like me are throwing the resolutions out the window,…
Miso Basil Aioli
Aioli – I’m a fiend for it and this miso basil aioli has become a firm favvof mine. My fridge has got so many condiments that I can whip out to make sandwiches/burgers a WHOLE lot better! Aside from the delicious shop bought ones like heinz ketchup, heinz aioli, sriracha & kewpie mayo I’ve got…

Miso Fried Chicken
If you don’t already know I’m quite partial to the odd bit of fried chicken. I mean what’s not to love. It’s low in calories, contains TONS of good fats, carbs – what are those. It’s the ultimate feel good about yourself meal!! The last part isn’t actually a lie. EVERY time I eat fried…
Maple Vanilla Christmas Ham
It’s that time of the year again!! We have just gotten over the US market going crazy with pumpkin spiced EVERYTHING!! Now it’s time for every foodblogger/food stylist out there to showcase 1 million and 1 ways to do the Christmas Ham. Figured it would be rude of me not to contribute so my 6…
Black Pudding Nourishing Bowl
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…
Mango Chili Chutney
30+ celsius weather calls for MANGOES here in Queensland. The sign of the 100 cases of mangoes in your local grocery store is the beginning of summer for me. Truthfully (even though it’s hot as) summer hasn’t quite hit yet but when you see these big plump and juicy mangoes everywhere it just SCREAMS summertime. …
Creme Brulee French Toast
That’s right! You are reading correctly. Creme brulee French toast is officially a thing. That creamy, eggy, vanilla mix is being soaked up by a thick assed wedge of bread and pan fried until golden.

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…
Spring Green Shakshuka
Spring is in full affect downunder (Australia for those wondering!) and when spring time comes around it’s time for some spring green shakshuka.

Marmalade Carrots
Marmalade carrots! How the hell didn’t I think of this before?? I was recently in South Australia with my family spending WAY too much money on wine (said nobody ever!!). Anywho, we went to Kangaroo Island for the last few days and given all the wine tasting I was doing and my lack of motivation…
Black Garlic Aioli
This ain’t my first aioli recipe and I’m pretty confident this black garlic aioli won’t be the last either!! It’s a great and simple way to make a sauce to go with many dishes and tastes simple amazing too. Try this with some perfectly cooked eye fillet and tell me it ain’t a winner. WHAT…
Vanilla Maple Granola
Homemade granola – it’s WAY easier than you think! If your household is anything like mine then you 100% need to find a way to make granola cheaper.

Miso Maple Carrots
Carrots carrots carrots!!! We eat an absolute TON of them on our house. Aside from the fact they are generally cheap they are so darn versatile. These miso maple carrots are a current FAV. More so mine than the “boss” as I’m a huge miso fan but she hasn’t complained yet – probably also as…
Asian Pork Meatballs

Homemade Crispy Shallots
If you are one of those people (like I used to be!) who buys their crispy shallots from the local Asian market then shame on you! No seriously, it’s totally acceptable to do so. BUT, once I started making my homemade crispy shallots I couldn’t believe I had wasted $$ on buying them. Read on…

Spicy Miso Butter
Butter – who doesn’t love it? Much like bacon it makes everything taste better. From basting your meat in frothy herby butter, simply spread on toast, melted to make my DELISH chocolate brownies to brown butter sage sauce drizzled over pasta you can’t beat it. With that being said, I decided to combine my latest…
Rocket & Broccoli Soup
Damn it’s chilly in the evening time! Which makes it officially soup weather. I am always on the lookout for different & interesting soups to make. But also for different toppings to put on the soup. Personally I find the toppings are often the best part. It’s where you can add some texture, acidity, fish…
Sumac Roasted Pumpkin
Christmas in July is a thing here in Australia. At first it seems weird AF considering it’s hot and sunny elsewhere in the world but down under it’s the middle of winter so bodies are in need of some heart warming dishes. My sumac roasted pumpkin with garlic labneh, toasted hazelnuts and pomegranate does just…
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,…
Cauliflower Bacon Soup
Warming, creamy (without any added cream), texture from those delicious toasted croutons, saltiness from some quality bacon lardons and a nice anise hit from the tarragon. I think it’s safe to say the look of this cauliflower bacon soup is enough to make you wanna dunk your spoon in ASAP! WEATHER Cold!!! That’s how I…
Roasted peaches, ginger & mascarpone
Peaches, butter, vanilla, spices AND maple syrup – need I say more? Heck just scroll to the roasted peaches recipe down the bottom right now! Truthfully, when it comes to dessert I’m not a huge chocolate person. I like to try something a little different when I am out. Often I choose something with fruit…
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! …
Rocket Walnut Pesto
Pesto is so quick to make and utterly delicious. This simple rocket walnut pesto is exactly that! I had a catering gig the other day and had plenty rocket left over so figured it was time to re-create some recipes and snap some pics. The biggest issue being a food blogger (not a lover of…
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…
Mushroom & smoked pumpkin appetizer
Like most families (I guess!), we tend to eat a lot of 1 course dinners. Then we hit the couch and have a cup of tea and TONS of chocolate there!! With that being said I don’t often get the opportunity to play around with starters as the “boss” would much prefer dessert. Although, I…
Homemade Breadcrumbs
An essential (in my opinion) recipe for any household to have. I’d be lying and so would many if you if you said you don’t throw out bread at some point in the week. Why not take a few mins to turn them into homemade breadcrumbs? Simple to make, saves on the shopping bill and…
Easy Pickled Jalapenos
So my love of all things pickled continues this week with the addition of this easy pickled jalapenos. These babies are being turned into some aioli later in the week along with some wombok & coriander slaw it’s gonna make a pretty wicked fish sandwich. Plus many more uses of them coming up over the…
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…
Coconut Corn Soup
The other day I posted my watermelon & togaroshi recipe and I talked about clinging on to summer here in QLD and how summer is coming elsewhere in the world. Well, now at the request of my wife (who is always cold) I am back making soup! This coconut corn soup has been a family…
Watermelon, togaroshi, feta & mint
Summer has drawn to an end here in Australia and on it’s way elsewhere in the world. Luckily for me I live in QLD aka “the sunshine state” where it’s warm all year round. Which means I get to enjoy this spicy watermelon snack all the time! Truthfully though I’m just trying to cling on…
Smoked Pumpkin Hummus
This smoked pumpkin hummus recipe is a combination of the things I love the most. In no particular order – cooking on my weber bbq, my wife and my baby girl. My wife is a CRAZY hummus fan – the toddler too. But as always with the toddler it’s a struggle to get her to…
Beef burger, brie, slow roasted tomatoes & onion marmalade
I am always on the hunt for new recipes and in particular beef burger ideas. I posted a few recipes lately that we all really enjoyed slow roasted tomatoes and onion marmalade. Seeing as I had them in the fridge and knowing they would taste great with some brie cheese – well, I decided to…
My Irish Breakfast (with a twist)
For those of you who saw my stuffed capsicums recipe and my beet hummus you are in for a treat with this one! Combining my love of Clonakilty pudding with my simple and delicious beet hummus recipe I created my ultimate Irish breakfast that is (I’m gonna go out on a limb here) probably the…
Roasted Mushrooms
I am personally a HUGE fan of mushrooms and love them in any shape or form. I think it was when I worked for a good friend in helping him open his restaurant Treyvaud’s in Killarney, Ireland. Hi Paul! His brother Mark was the chef and he made the most amazing mushroom soup. Since then…
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…
Roasted Garlic
Luckily for me my wife enjoys garlic as much as I do. Man that would be tough if she didn’t. Truthfully, we probably wouldn’t still be together. I always have some roasted garlic in the fridge ready to go. It’s one of those simple things to make and tastes GREAT too. Why roast it whole?…
Pickled Onions
Pickled onions – these, in my opinion are something every household should have in the fridge. SO simple to make, unbelievably tasty, cost effective and they last ages. What’s not to love about pickled onions? You may remember seeing my post on pickled cucumbers and how I mentioned it is such an easy thing to…
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…
Slow Roasted Tomatoes
We are HUGE fans of tomatoes in or house. Love them in any shape or form. This slow roasted tomatoes recipe is one we demolish about once a week as its is SO damn simple and tasty. I typically put them on around 4.30ish when I am starting to prepare the toddlers dinner. By 7(ish)…
Smashed Avo & Eggs
It wouldn’t be an Aussie brekkie with out some form of avocado on the menu!! My take on the smashed avo is with beautifully soft poached eggs, bacon, grilled baby broccoli and some homemade pistachio dukkah. Hungry? Well read on my friend! I have never eaten so much avocado since I moved to Brisbane! Don’t…
Pistachio Dukkah
Making things at home when cooking is, in my opinion the best way. Don’t get me wrong, like most people I don’t have the time to make everything myself at home. So what I do is weigh up the cost/time/taste factor. This pistachio dukkah is one that 100% doesn’t need to be weighed up. It’s…
Cured Salmon
This beetroot & gin cured salmon went down an absolute treat in AnotherFoodBloggers house. It takes a little to cure but surprisingly simple to make.

Onion Marmalade
Onion Marmalade – I freakin love it! Every now and again I make up a big ol’ batch of onion marmalade to add to my various jars of pickles and sauces in the fridge. Currently I have szechuan chili oil, pickled red onions, tomato/chili jam, pickled chilis, bbq sauce, homemade tandoori paste and some tomato…

More importantly if there is a delay in food everyone isn’t too drunk on an empty stomach. This delicious beetroot hummus aside from being…
Panzanella Salad
Panzanella is one of our favourite salads to have in AnotherFoodBloggers house. The delicious crusty bread, fresh herbs and juicy tomatoes – it’s perfect on it’s own or with some grilled meat.

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!

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,…
Smashed Cucumber Salad
For those of you who follow me on Instagram you have probably noticed the disproportionate amount of meat consumed in our home! That’s not to say we don’t eat plenty of veg or fish too. For whatever reason I end up photographing more of the meat based dishes! So on that note, something a little…
Homemade Fries!
Sometimes the simplest things are the best and believe me that’s doesn’t just apply to cooking. Overthinking tends to be a common problem in many walks of life and that’s why this week’s post is a simple one that truly brings, well, a plate load of pleasure to the table! A big ol’ bowl of…
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…

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…
Cinnamon Rolls #perfection
Cinnamon Rolls. Sticky, gooey, full of sugar and SO DAMN DELICIOUS. What’s not to love? Missing NYC There are some things I miss a lot about living in America.

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…
Creme brulee, rhubarb compote
For me creme brulee is my ultimate favourite dessert. Many people (including my wife) are on the fence about whether dessert should be all about choc or well, more decadent like a brulee. For me – I say, give me brulee all day, everyday! I would be lying if I said that the base of…
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…
Quick Pickled Cucumbers
Condiments, condiments, condiments. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I can’t get enough of them. These simple quick pickled cucumbers are definitely one you want to remember.

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…
