One night my parents invited us over for a burger night, so I decided to make some crispy fried chicken breast to go with our burgers and they were a massive hit! Continue reading “Crispy Fried Chicken”

At the beginning of covid-19 lock-down the supermarket shelves were bare. I couldn’t get my hands on some yeast so I decided to give my own sourdough bread a go. Although it takes 5-10 days to make your sourdough starter, it’s absolutely worth it. Read Recipe

Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza Serves Approx: 6 – 8
Makes 2 9inch deep dish pizzas
Who doesn’t love pizza? Chicago’s signature pizza style is quite controversial in the USA, especially among New Yorkers, who may argue that it isn’t a pizza at all. I don’t care what you call it. I think that not only is this a delicious, unique dish, but also think its one of the most deliciously decadent things I’ve ever eaten.

I did some recipe research to gain some inspiration as well as having my followers give me suggestions. This Rainbow Swiss Roll with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting was the end result. The sponge recipe I ended up doing was sooo fluffy, light and delicious with no need to let it cool rolled up in a tea towel!

Cincinnati Style Chilli Recipe Serves 4
Hi everyone, Mark here. Alicia and I love spicy food and I love to make chilli (or chili if you’re American, don’t worry, I wont hold it against you, but you are wrong. Just kidding. Kinda). So, while browsing recipes for a different chilli, I came across something that looked like spaghetti bolognese. When I looked at the recipe, I decided to give it a go. I still remember the first time we made this and it was blow your head off hot! This was when we discovered that apparently American chilli powder actually contains other spices in it so it’s actually not as hot as the rest of the world’s chilli powder which is made out of only dried chilli’s. So if you’re from America and are reading this recipe and thinking “pfft 3tsp of chilli powder?” this is for Australian chilli powder (or other countries whose chilli powder is pure chilli’s) which is 8 times hotter than your chilli powder .
