Lentils à la Dijonnaise (mustard and speck lentils) I have a feeling this is the first time I’ve cooked lentils. My friend GC regularly shares with me her photos of salmon, broccolini and lentils meals and I’m always a bit jelly because in my mind lentils require a lot of effort and I’m a somewhat […]…

This post describes my first pizza 🍕 dough. I can’t tell you how many pizzas I’ve eaten in 55 years. I’ve never made one though. I remember as a young man I could eat whole large pizzas with ease. I loved eating a pizza on my own or with friends. I happily ate pizzas with […]โดย Yummy Lummy

I don’t normally beat my meat to get it juicy and tender. I was watching Jamie Oliver on TV last night and he made a dish with chicken breast, breadcrumbs, and garlic. It involved using a rolling pin to beat the meat to tenderise it and to beat the breadcrumbs and garlic into the meat. […]โดย Yummy Lummy

There is nothing special about tonight’s meal or this post.

Reverse seared steak isn’t something I do very often. I usually sear first and then finish off the cooking in oven. Dedicated to SARS-COV-2 which causes COVID-19 because I got home late and didn’t have time to cook the steak by sous vide. Find out more about the new names below Reverse seared steak versus […]…

Triple pork fried cauliflower rice Triple pork fried cauliflower rice sounds a bit weird but it was the best I could come up with at short notice. It’s been a bit crazy at work and I only got home at about 4 pm and didn’t feel like doing a long cook. I will be cooking some […]โดย Yummy Lummy

Tonight I did something a little differently and served my chicken and Brussels sprouts with some enhanced baked beans.โดย Yummy Lummy

Eating eggs every morning can get a little boring so every now and then I like to make my eggs taste and feel a little better. So what do I mean by feel? I mean mouthfeel. Mouthfeel is really important. I like my food to have texture. Eggs can be pretty bland when it comes to texture, so adding some crunch really makes a difference.…

I got a handful of Brussels sprouts, cut them in half and tossed them in a mixing bowl with some olive oil and then rubbed them all over with the oil. I then laid them out on a baking tray with the cut surface facing up. I sprinkled some iodised salt on them and then put them into a hot oven until I could penetrate one easily with a tine of a fork.…

So, last week I posted about how I had finished February in my usual eating routine. This week has been a little unusual. A day in Sydney, a dinner out I didn’t end up getting to, and senate estimates put my week out of whack.โดย Yummy Lummy

I originally wrote this on 12 October 2012, the tenth anniversary of the 2002 Bali bombings and I had it on the Old Yummy Lummy blog. I thought I should update the post a little and bring it over to my current blog. I’d welcome comments and feedback. This post is not like my regular […]โดย Yummy Lummy

My daughters and I have been planning an overseas holiday for about a year. Originally we were going to Florida in the middle of December as part of a gymnastics event. Unfortunately that fell through. As an alternative we agreed on Hong Kong. There are a lot of good reasons for Hong Kong. Food. Hong Kong Disney. Food. Ocean Park. Food. No jet lag …

Today is day two of our Hawaiian holiday adventure and we marked it with our first experience of Jack in the Box. We drove up the east coast of Oahu to get to our condominium accommodation in Turtle Bay. I was reminded by a friend today that Jack in the box is best known to microbiologists because of an outbreak of Escherichia coli infection caused…
