Well it shouldn’t be too hard to pull off if you follow a couple of simple steps (and keep your stopwatch handy)
The key is all in the timing.

When chillier weather hits, a Classic Negroni may not cut it, but this Hot Negroni most certainly will!
Made in a very similar fashion to the Classic Negroni but with a couple of little twists, like the addition of Rooibos tea for some earthy and nutty tones and honey for natural sweetness that compliments the tea and coats the throat when drinking warm.
Every Greek family has got a favourite but nobody can pick a winner, so instead, I have built both into one tray….this is the Pastitsio Moussaka, and it is delicious (hopefully the Greeks don’t hate me for this!)
I keep the velvety eggplant from the Moussaka, adding in the tubular pasta from the Pastitsio and tying it all together with a signature meat sauce!
You could seriously have a thousand of these, but, that's when the devil comes out. They call this cocktail the "El Diablo". It is a simple tequila based cocktail that is made delicious wth spicy ginger beer and berry liqueurs! Enjoy ice cold on a hot day.

This “Chinese Hamburger” is something that grabbed my attention online and I had to give it a crack. Tender meat, quickly stir fried in lots of spiced with a little green capsicum between two fresh buns and it was delicious. These 肉夹馍 would go perfectly with a cold beer!

Ok, so a little while back I shared the classic hot chip roll, but a lot of you said that I needed to try it with Vegemite 🤔 And if I am going to be honest, I think you are all WRONG! This was terrible!!!
I am going to stick to the tomato sauce!
You can forget the HSP, this is the Spice Bag, and it is brought to you by: The Irish ☘️🇮🇪

This cocktail might just ruin the regular Old Fashioned. The Oaxaca Old Fashioned was created in the early 2000s by bar tender Phil Ward after he swapped out the classic Bourbon for a mix of Tequila and Mezcal to make this delicious Mexican inspired riff on the Old Fashioned Cocktail.

A classic, a dipper, a drizzler, a spreader - one of my go-to favourites for wraps, grilled meats or even use to dollop on top of a spicy curry. This Tzatziki recipe is quick, it’s simple and it is probably going to be better than the one you buy from the shops!

Nduja is a dangerously addictive, spreadable firecracker of Calabrian pork and chilies that melts into a smoky, spicy sauce all over anything it touches. In this case, it is the perfect addition to a classic vodka pasta (which is one of the simplist and most delicious pastas you can make!)

This iconic Brazilian street food was supposedly developed for a little Brazilian prince who loves chicken drumsticks but on one occasion the royal kitchen ran out of drumsticks so they made something that looked like a drumstick for the little fella!
This recipe has a few steps to it, but its quite delicious at the end product…

This dish right here is true Australiana - it’s what I would have to eat after hours of time in the surf, carb on carb action with a bucket load of chicken salt and slatherings of tomato sauce.
Surely you have all had one! Not really a recipe here, but more a piece of nostalgia!
Here is a rich and smooth twist on the classic Old Fashioned using delicious brown butter to fat wash your bourbon creating a smooth and super drinkable cocktail that is perfect for the cooler months and those keen to mix things up a little.

This is a Royal Curry - it is quick to make, but you might need to check the cupboard for a couple of spices! All in all nice and easy to make and it will taste better than any takeout you might grab on a cosy Sunday night.
Paneer is obviously the hero here but if you are looking to mix it up you could also make this recipe with chicken, fish or other veg!
Learning the art of the classic Spanish Tortilla de Patatas with Miguel Maestre aka The Crazy Bull - the only thing is, this classic has a bit of a twist!
