I pre cooked the sausages in an oven...

    Crispy salt and chilli squid

    Its actually quite hard work to get it just right, mine was trial and error. I was trying to replicate a restaurant near me who serve salt n pepper squid, I used too much salt in the beginning. The semolina makes a big difference and only use sea salt. I prefer to buy frozen baby squid but any...

    Help With Spaghetti Suace

    Some good advice here already. Personally, I love fresh food but I think fresh tomatoes should be eaten as is, not cooked down for sauce. I prefer good quality tinned tomatoes. I gently fry/sweat finely chopped onions or garlic (I tend not to use both as I find you cant differentiate between...

    Steak Tartare

    I think its a fact that cooked meat is considered a poison by the body and the body reacts with an auto immune response. I still eat cooked meat by the way but I feel different after eating raw beef as opposed to cooked beef. I feel cleaner (Same for my wife) and the next day I seem to have more...

    Carpaccio of beef

    Just a little bit of fillet left over so I battered it with a rolling pin as thin as I could get (Still not that thin) and dressed with some salad leaves (From garden), hard cheese, nice olive oil, balsamic and sea salt, very nice and very fresh.

    Steak Tartare

    Thanks Andy. I suppose I have a cast iron stomach. It is recommended that a person should not drink more than a glass or two of wine, it never stopped me drinking 3 or 4 bottles in a night though!

    Steak Tartare

    Why is everyone against raw eggs? I would not eat random raw egg but if its free range and organic and from well kept chickens then its a treat and extremely nutritious. There is quite a weight of evidence pointing towards the lack of raw food and various illnesses. I won't rant though, each to...
