Making Sushi

July 2, 2026 By admin Leave a Comment

You’re supposed to sing “making sushi” to the tune “making whoopee”!

I’ve been getting into Japanese cooking a LOT, so you can expect a few posts on this. I ordered a couple of rice moulds and this is the first time I’ve used this one. It doubles as a little lunchbox.

Some of these are stuff with smoked salmon, and some with avocado. I’ve put some store-bought furikake seasoning on top.

It was easier than I thought!

Pan-fried Swordfish

May 4, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

This a fabulous and relatively simple dish from Gary Mehigan. Gary and George’s Your Place or Mine is a really great cookbook. The recipes are tasty, a bit different (in a good way) and not too difficult. Some are super-easy. I highly recommend it. Yes I amended the recipe a bit… Ingredients 100g dried figs…

Roast Turmeric Butter Cauliflower

August 20, 2021 By admin Leave a Comment

The roast cauliflower part of this recipe comes from Duncan Welgemode’s Africola, a remarkable testament to the Adelaide restaurant of the same name. I’ve paired it with a lentil, tomato and roast capsicum curry topped with raisins and pine nuts, some home made hummus and flatbread. The cauliflower is simmered for 10 minutes before being…

Seven Spice Chicken with Flatbread

July 8, 2021 By admin Leave a Comment

Here’s my middle eastern chicken with flatbread. I’m on the hunt for good but simple flatbread recipes, and this recipe from Gourmet Traveller did the trick. I did however add twice as much water, and then had to add more flour and yoghurt to compensate! Nevertheless, I’m standing by the recipe! The chicken recipe came…

Chinese Braised Duck

July 8, 2021 By admin Leave a Comment

Last night I made a slight variation on this recipe from Taste. The sauce was good, and more importantly the duck cooking method worked really well. The duck marylands were cooked in a pan, skin side down, on low heat for 15 mins, then skin side up for 5 mins. Then they were covered in…

THE COOK

I live and cook in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. The region is similar to the Mediterranean, with temperate climate, fertile hills, nearby ocean, wonderful local vegetables, fruit, wine and meat produced locally. Cooking has been a growing passion for me, about connecting culture, creativity, community and spirit. The small garden in our new home is currently being established with some native bush ‘tucker plants’ and a range of herbs. I’ve just bought a yuzu tree!
