Dave’s Mint And Balsamic Dipping Sauce
Dave makes this sauce every time he barbeques lamb. It is in my opinion the perfect pairing of minty and tangy flavours that give the lamb a clean taste. It is simply 3 parts balsamic vinegar to 1 part mint sauce. I use Italian made balsamic vinegar and the mint sauce I grew up eating: …

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s Gremolata
If like me you love slow cooking cuts of meat like lamb shanks and osso bucco you will love the addition of this garnish. It brings tastes of the grassy parsley, cleansing citrus flavours and then the bite of the garlic. It counters the meatiness of the slow cooked meats’ sauce perfectly. I even love…

Garlic And Rosemary Confit
Making garlic confit is delightfully simple. It is garlic cloves slowly cooked in olive oil until they are soft and spreadable. Over the course of 2 hours on a low heat, the garlic looses its bight and takes on a mellow, nutty flavour. You can use it many novel ways, anything from spreads to garnishes…

Cheese: Asiago
Asiago is an semi-firm cow cheese from northern Italy. It has a mild but addictive taste. It is great for salads, sandwiches and pastas where you don’t need a cheese with bite. I love munching on it by itself and find myself going to the fridge for a slice more often than I should. Milk…
