    Brisket vindaloo

    Vindaloo is vinegar based big Portuguese influence. Often the case that away from the it's region other people mess with it in Britain etc. Turn it into a version of a vindaloo because it has to be on the menu even though the cook is from another region that doesn't do it . Bit like Yankee's...

    Brisket vindaloo

    We cut meat different down here. Now you can buy American style brisket here but it's very recent. Italalians cut it into strips if it's young beef or veal ,often it's for ragu. I bought that but I am going to marinate it in vindaloo mix overnight then smoke it. Vindaloo gets a bad rap because...

    Porchetta, it's whats for dinner

    The porchetta I have eaten here & Italy was all kept simple on the inside. CBP,salt,garlic,rosemary fennel seed. Those vans at markets where they serve it straight up in a bread roll are a thing of beauty. It will go on the list of things I will eat when I complete this diet Yours looks great...

    Lamb for Australia Day

    I think all these ingredients should be available in your 'hood. You can use light brown sugar instead of palm ,if there is an Indian store they have jaggery sugar,near enough to the same thing. It has to have tamarind otherwise its not the same deal. The liquid product in the jar is fine but I...

    Lamb for Australia Day

    Really nice. It more or less pulled with a pair of tongs.I cooked it for about 3 hours but very low. I don't know much about Burmese food but I do see this dish a lot around town,pork version. Peanuts a nice touch. I like the sour note of tamarind,could have bumped the chilli a little. I...
