Saucy BBQ Pies
byJust to be clear – BBQ sauce in pies, not pies cooked on a BBQ. Well we didn’t, but I guess if you had a decent supply of cold beer you could.

Chicken, Pumpkin and Asparagus Risotto
byI love making a good risotto. Standing over a stove, ladling stock, is very satisfying. Plus, no-one seems to question the bottle of white standing right beside you.
Donut Cake
byKids said it looked like a donut and without knowing this when Tracey came home an hour later she said it tasted like a donut. So I’m calling it a donut cake, even though the recipe clearly said it was a Cinnamon Tea Cake.
Nice Ice Coffee Dessert
byI have no idea what I’ve just made, but it tastes good. Closest I can explain it is it’s a bit like an Affogato.
Lemony Pudding Cakes
byI will give you fair warning, these little cake things are extremely yummy. They’re light and tangy and there’s a little saucy goodness in the base of each serve.
Twiddly Guinness Pie
byThis recipe is a corker, and so very simple, even if it does seem to involve every pan in the drawer. I make it more complex by slow cooking the meat, but you could just cook it in the saucepan if you like.
Sweet Dreams Mango Chutney
byThe beauty of this recipe is in its simplicity. Grab a large pot and put all the ingredients in. How’s that for minimalism?
Chicken Cordon Bleu
byAn excellent recipe for lovers of excellent recipes.
Hot Date Cake
byThis date cake is a winner. There will be gasps and possibly applause. Ticker-tape and the keys to the city aren’t out of the question.
Cherry Bomb Cake
byThis cake really is the bomb.
Making sausage with friends
byMy good friend Kathy, and her number one son Caleb, decided to join me for some sausage making today. We made one kilo of…
Sunday afternoon pikelets
byThe kids and I made ourselves a yummy snack today – pikelets – which we smothered in butter with jams and honey. The recipe comes from Tracey’s schoolgirl cookbook, Day To Day Cookery by I M Downes.
A snag in the kitchen
byA large joy for me with these sausages is still trying different recipes to work out which ones we like best. Today I made 1kg of Breakfast, 1kg of Italian (new recipe) and 1.5kg of Bratwurst (because it’s Tracey’s favourite).
Bratwurst sausage – another victory in the kitchen
byMy local butcher, an excellent sausage tutor named Garry, provided me with the fatty pork, bratwurst spice and pork casings. Easy and so, so tasty.
Me And My Sausage – a love story
byI began my smallgood experience by searching a heap of sausage making websites, set up, I assume, by nutters in lederhosen with no sex life. I quickly decided to start my journey by whipping up the classic Italian sausage.
