Pulled Pork

June 23, 2015 by date with a plate.

I’m not sure when it started or who was responsible, but I have noticed an exponential growth for the love of pulled pork in Australia. My first encounter with the soft, melt-in-your-mouth meat was about five years ago when my brother-in-law and I made it together for Christmas dinner – and what a fantastic feast it was. There was something really fun about serving an all American inspired dinner at Christmas, it almost seemed rebellious. But my family didn’t bat […]

Lamb burgers with harissa mayonnaise and orange salsa

Feeling festive and totally inspired by Christmas colours I created a delicious salad last night after adding a little inspiration from recipes online and served up this lovely salad. Fast to put together and has such wonderful flavours – I absolutely love this salad and I would even consider it a new favourite. I served it with lamb and a mint, lemon and yoghurt dressing, absolutely summer on a plate. I love it when Pomegranates are in season, they are […]
