PK’s NoRecipe Creamy Mash
I am afraid that I am of the firm belief that you can have tasty mashed potato or healthy mashed potato but not both. Luckily for me my stomach and brain both like the tasty option :). The not so secret key to a good mash is in just under cooking the potatoes (in salty…

Wow! This method of cooking a roast chook is probably not going to get the heart foundation tick any time soon but it is off the charts tasty. Lot’s of recipes on the internet use this method and I am simply combining it with my favourite stuffing mix of garlic, onion, italian herbs (such as…

PK’s BBQ Western Rock Lobster With Garlic Butter
Seafood has an unfair advantage over other foods in the looks department. Even if you don’t like seafood you have to admit the colours and textures are eye catching. Nothing epitomises this more for me than lobsters and crayfish. I am new to this seafood cooking business so this is the only way I know…

Giuseppe’s Flourless Chocolate Cake
Gus isn’t claiming this is his own recipe but he baked this awesome flourless cake and I asked him if I could share the recipe with you. You should have seen my toddler’s eyes when he tasted it. Gus said it was really easy to make (I think he is too modest) but he has…

PK’s NoRecipe Potato and Bacon Soup
I love Potato and Bacon soup and make it in large batches primarily for a mid morning work snack. This saves me lots of money and I know I am eating healthily. The only salt is from the bacon and the salted margarine/butter blend. I add a few additional fresh ingredients to suit what is…

PK’s Fettuccine Chicken Alfredo
Fettuccine Alfredo is a pasta dish made from freshly made fettuccine tossed only with Parmigiano-Reggiano and butter. This was my first attempt at making it and I wanted to make the sauce from scratch. I chose this ‘food network’ recipe as a base to experiment from and the results were simply amazing. The addition of…

FoodHack: Bacon Cooked In Butter
Lots of people have strong opinions about not using butter when cooking bacon. However there so many ways to cook ‘perfect bacon’ that I might manage to stay out of trouble. Maybe 🙂 . Last night I was in a rush so although I started cooking these bacon bits with just their own fat, I…

How To Make Browned Butter Sauce
Browned butter sauce has a caramel/nutty flavour and I think the addition of sage works just as well for seafood, pasta, chicken and beef. The pleasure of watching and smelling this sauce cook is sublime. The stages are so clear that they belie the difficulty level. When you get it right for the first time…
