  • Salmon Burgers with Thai Dressing

    Salmon Burgers with Thai Dressing

    Really good, simple, quick and flavoursome. Oddly reminded me of a superior version of the chicken balls tried earlier in the year, due to the Thai influences.  The salad there…

  • Katsu Chicken Noodles

    Katsu Chicken Noodles

    I confess this was mostly ready made.  Packet of Katsu curry and ready noodles cuts out a good bit of work.  The interesting thing here was the panko chicken breasts.…

  • Sweet smoked chicken

    Sweet smoked chicken

    Had a crack at smoking this on the new gas bbq, which worked wonderfully to a certain definition of ‘wonderfully’. Cooked deflecting the direct burner heat with a bit of…

  • Potato supper
