    blood cake

    I cant do that congealed pigs blood they serve in Asian places. I do like black pudding & enjoy the variations from cuisine to cuisine.  This had a great texture ,crisp on the outside , very cake like inside. I think its old school Spanish thats been tweaked a bit.

    blood cake

    I think its baked in a loaf tin maybe in a water bath, then cooled cut ,seared for service. Salsa verde & this high end plain yoghurt gave it a great balance on the plate. It had garlic,cumin,paprika not sure about the rest . Nuggets of cheek & jowl meat mixed into the blood. No binders that I...

It was a racetrack & light industrial that was converted to a whole new suburb. The old tram sheds ( think light rail cars) was kept intact  outside but gutted to...

    smoked mackerel

    What we call Spanish are highly prized from warmer waters. They smoke beautifully but too pricey just now. The little guys get pulped for  feed at  fish farms. I get it but I just have an uneasy feeling about feeding native fish to non native Atlantic salmon in pens that then sell for plenty...

    smoked mackerel

    Turned out really well .I let them cool in the smoker with the AMZPS still going but the MES turned off. The heads fell off a few so I now they are done. They will be for salads ,or on toast with pickles or maybe even with black eyed peas in my take on a West African classic. They are a big...
