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 make…
homemade
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…
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. I would thoroughly recommend anyone who likes cured fish or fish in general to give it a go. The colours alone will impress all your dinner guests! Cured Salmon Inspiration…
Dulce de Leche Ice Cream
Quick post this week! I have been making a load of homemade ice-cream lately and I am loving this dulce de leche flavour although my waistline is giving me a bit of tude at the moment… Buying an ice-cream machine was, I have to say a stroke of genius!! You really can’t beat homemade ice-cream. …
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….
Roasted tomato chutney
This 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…
Carrot Cake Cupcakes!!
Carrot cake – by far my preferred cake of choice. C’mon think about it, you get to have something sweet AND one of your 5 a day veggies. WIN WIN!!! And, lets not forget about the vanilla cream cheese frosting………………. My wife and mine dessert choices differ greatly. She is all about the chocolate,…
Grilled asparagus, lemon & dukkah

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…
Sous Vide – why I love it!
Sous Vide – Why I’m converted! At first, I was honestly a bit skeptical. I have (up to now) been more of an old school touchy-feely kind of guy where cooking meat is concerned. I did a catering gig back in January and wanted to put some of the profits towards helping me grow more…
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 healthier…
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…
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 always I…
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. From pickled goods like red onions, chilis & lebanese cucumbers to harissa, tomato & chili jam and homemade bbq sauce, the top shelf on my…
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!

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…
Tomato Chili Jam
This has to be one of the best ALL-PURPOSE condiments to have in the back of the fridge! I make this tomato chili jam on a bi-weekly basis and good news – it’s simple as to prepare! When I started this blog, other than to make me feel good about myself by having so called…
Apple Rhubarb Crumble
It’s apple season here in Australia and rhubarb is just making it’s way in too. There is no better way to celebrate both than with a classic belly-warming crumble. Loving Crumble & Wills Request! You just can’t beat that mouth-watering smell as the fruit stews, the waft of vanilla & spices throughout the house. Lets…
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…
Homemade Harissa

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…

Cauliflower Broccoli Muffins
These vegetable muffins are a tasty, quick and easy to make snack that my toddler consistently and enthusiastically (key requirements those of you with toddlers will appreciate!!) demolishes. The wife sneaks a few too when I’m not looking! Since it’s not everyday you can say your toddler demolishes cauliflower & broccoli, these are definitely worth…
Cooking & resting meat
This article may seem like a fairly simple one but as someone who has been cooking for years, working in restaurants (aka watching chefs) and also being part of many online food groups, I have come to realise that not everyone understands the importance of resting meat. When we talk about resting meat, believe me…

Homemade Aioli
