Obviously as you may have gathered, I take a lot of photos of food as I cook. I enjoy it, and I for the large part – was never taking photos to share. Sometimes I’d share with my brother as we both enjoy cooking and often share recipes, but...

Just looking at this – I don’t think I’d cook it like this again. I don’t even know why I did this then. That said, the results – look good. I can’t say for sure, because often beef can look really good but it can be tough – so...

Ribs & wings are a classic combo. One of my favourites especially if the wings are slathered in some chilli-infused hot sauce. I don’t care for the heat so much; but the flavours of really well done hot wings are… oooh just unbeatable. The butchers I’d go to often...

Who doesn’t like a bit of Roast Beef? I was well acquainted with the butchers by this point of lockdown (I just checked the date and this is *STILL* May 2020!) But this is still Pre-Harrisons (the butchers I go to now, for all my meaty needs!). Feeling like...

This was a spur of the moment decision. I had no idea what I was going to do with it, nor did I have any experience cooking racks of lamb. I just thought, how hard can it be? So, I covered it in garlic, oil and salt and pepper...

I thought this was a worthwhile post, because I wanted to talk about what I’d cooked here, and why I wouldn’t cook it that way again. A good ‘proper’ traditional BBQ can be tough to get right. Don’t get me wrong; anyone can fire up a BBQ, chuck some...

Looking at the dates this was less than two weeks after the last one. I really wanted to get a perfect brisket, and spoiler: This wasn’t it. I was still learning, but this was also Pre-Harrisons and I Pre-MEATER still. It was also Pre-Kamado Joe and Pre-Char Griller BBQ....

So we’re now into May 2020. I was still going to the same butchers (Pre-Harrisons) and I asked for a bit of brisket that was good for smoking. They gave me this: Yeah I know – I could have taken it out the bag for that photo, but still…...

Oh, well, I’ve just got to my photos where I’ve come across brisket. The first brisket I think I tried to smoke since 2015/2016. It didn’t go well in 2015/2016, and whilst it went better this time around, it certainly what I was going for. I was going for...

I confess, this was a few weeks into lockdown and I really can’t remember much of what went into this rub/marinade, but I can guess based on what it looks like and what I know of my own habits. I’d tend to mix up a rub in a bowl,...
