Barbecued Steak Wraps
After not barbecuing very much so far this year, we seem to have gone a long way to rectifying things this weekend. The first weekend that arrives after a holiday is always a busy one and we didn’t have much time to think about what we were going to eat, steak on the barbecue [...]
Read More..>>World Cup Cuisine – The Highlights
So, apart from cheating today and buying beer and cheese to represent Holland, we did a pretty good job of exploring some new cuisnes and finding some new favourite dishes.
We started with South Africa and cooked every Saffer’s favourite, the milk tart. I ate a lot of this while I was there but have [...]
World Cup Cuisine – Brazilian “Churrasco” Barbecue
This is a traditional style of barbecue which originated from the gauchos (i.e. cowboys) in southern Brazil – meat on long skewers cooked over a barbecue pit and then sliced off with a knife. Not having a barbecue pit close at hand, we made do with a normal barbecue. Also not having a [...]

When thinking of what to cook for Argentina, we automatically thought of this dish. Having cooked it before though, we felt that maybe we should be a little more creative and try something else, but we remembered it having been particularly tasty and were keen to eat it again. As it turned out, [...]

Stephen and I have been keeping a keen eye on the weather all week and when we realised it was going to be 23 degrees today, we started planning some outdoor food. We initially considered a barbecue but eventually settled on a picnic in the park: much less effort which would result in more [...]

We’ve long suspected this is the best burger in London but the last time we visited we were without a camera, knowing how infuriating a post without pictures is we decided to delay the write-up until we could capture the burger in all it’s glory. It took a while but a Friday night shopping [...]
Read More..>>Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
Steak. The one thing guaranteed to smoke out the entire flat and really test the batteries in the smoke alarm. Even with all the windows and doors open, the smell lingers for what seems like days and the entire kitchen becomes covered in grease.
It’s a good job we knew these were [...]
Beef and Oyster Pie
This week is British Pie Week and with not a lot planned for dinner this weekend, we were grateful for the suggestion. This was actually supposed to be tomorrow’s lunch but we ended up swapping things around since tonight’s planned dish needed to spend some time in the freezer to tenderise, more on that [...]

So, with two carrier bags of meat to get through, it was obvious that today was going to be all about the roast beef. On the butchers block yesterday, the beef sirloin certainly looked impressive but it was only when I unwrapped it in the privacy of my own kitchen that I realised just [...]
