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…..
Roasted tomato chutney
eThis slow roasted tomato chutney/ketchup is so simple to make it will make you question why you used shop bought chutney/ketchup in the first place! Recently I teamed up with the great guys from Squeaky Gate olive oil. This is one of the first of many creations I am making with their great oil. We…
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…

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…
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…
