I have never tasted monkey gland sauce in my life. Whenever I come across it as a sauce option, I just move right past. Growing up I always thought monkey gland sauce had monkeys in them. Don’t laugh… I must have been in grade 3 or 4 when I discovered monkey gland sauce. When I … Continue reading Monkey gland sauce
Battered onion rings
Who doesn’t love onions rings with their burgers???? I do. I LOVE LOVE LOVVVEEE Spur’s onion rings that are served with their meals.

Haddock cobbler
With my dad being in the bread industry one would assume that all we eat is bread… sorry to burst that train of thought. No, actually to tell you the truth, we very seldom eat store bought bread.

Happy new year to everyone. Yes I have been extremely quiet throughout the whole of December.

Cola braised beef short rib
I might be slow on this uptake but it has taken me 5 years of cooking to discover that short rib, is actually just normal ribs, cut in half… well that is what I tell myself and I hope that’s correct.

Italian rice
In our household, Sunday is the day where rice is found on the lunch table. During the weeks, it bread or roti, but most of the time its bread. What can I say, bread has been in my DNA from even before I was born. One would think I would have a tolerance to yeast … Continue reading Italian rice
