Fishing – Australia Is Amazing
This is one amazing country. A few days ago I was in Darwin fishing in 37C and yesterday I was on Busselton Jetty wearing a thick fleece hoody and a beanie :). I nailed the low tide and although I didn’t get a feed, I had great fun catching these little guys on very light…

Welchy’s Ultimate Cheese Toastie
As a kid, the ultimate treat was one of Mum’s cheese toasted sandwiches. This wasn’t just your run of the mill, use-a-toaster type of toasted sandwich though. Mum perfected the Ultimate Cheese Toastie in the fry-pan! Buttery, toasted, crunchy goodness on the outside with superbly melted and stringy cheese in the middle…served with you know…a…

Josh’s Weber Q Baby Review
Weber has been around since the 1950’s and we have seen the shape change ever so slightly over the years, with each new model keeping the “round” kettle shape. In 2004 a new model (and shape) was released, known as the “Weber Q” Series. A couple of years later, a “Weber Q Baby” was released,…

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…

PK’s Knife 101
I only have two knives that I use in the kitchen. Both are from knife makers Global and I use the larger one for almost everything. I bought both of them as ex demo stock years ago and was never really happy with them until I sharpened them myself using a whetstone. A really sharp…

Welchy’s Prawn Stack
In the spirit of Good Friday and sticking to my parents tradition (and somewhat of my own), I took the opportunity to make something new and exciting. Growing up my brother and I used to dowse fish in tomato sauce or insist the fillets were bread-crumbed just so we could eat it. Dial ahead 12…

Welchy’s Winter Warmers – Mushroom Soup!
There’s nothing better on a cold winter’s night that to sit down and tuck into something hot! Whether it be a curry, casserole or soup…I love nothing more than eating a dish that warms right down to your bones! Mum has made soups all my life. As a kid, she may as well have put…

PK’s NoRecipe Savoury Mince
A favourite since childhood, this is simple food that couldn’t be easier to cook. By now you probably know that I think ‘peasant’ food is best. It freezes very well and what’s more, you can eat it by itself or stretch it out using rice, bread, noodles or other starchy sides. One of my favourites…

PK’s NoRecipe Sesame and Cumin Lamb Chops
I was amazed at how well the sesame seeds and cumin seeds paired with the lamb. So easy to prepare ahead of time and then cook them on the barbecue :). Take your lamb chops, I used forequarter chops, and rub or spray them with some olive oil. I bet peanut oil would work a…

Winter is trying to get back at Perth at the moment and although the sun is out, we are getting cold winds and rain. This makes for chilly evenings, so my family fought back with these really easy pizzas. Steps: Make or buy your pizza bases (I did the latter). Make or buy pizza sauce…

Fish cakes taste great and are an amazing way of making a little bit of fish go further. They were a staple growing up and one of the dishes my mum cooked us that will always stay with me :). I never use a recipe and no two batches come out the same and that…

PK’s Making Sausages The Italian Way
Today I was invited to join an Italian family’s yearly sausage making day. Making sausages the old fashion way means lots of hard work, lots of family banter and lots of laughter. I felt like part of the family and I promised to come back next year, if only for the great lunch they fed…

PK’s Coriander And Garlic Sauce
I first had this sauce (store bought) when I was in Darwin 2016. It is simple to make but it packs a real astringent wallop. I used this recipe originally from http://www.tarladalal.com/ (this site is amazing FYI) and I am going to experiment a bit with the amount of garlic and sugar . I also blended it…
