Making the “classics”-Veal Schnitzel

by Peter G January 27, 2012 Recipes

Is there anyone who doesn’t like schnitzel? (apart from vegetarians for obvious reasons!). There is something very attractive about quickly pan fried meat, coated in a shell of crispy breadcrumbs. When I think of schnitzel I think of a “classic” dish. One that has been around for a long time and has had its fair share of interpretations. This classic made an appearance in our home at least once a [...]

Pork Cutlets with a Mustard Cream Sauce

by Peter G March 21, 2011 Recipes

The last few weeks have been a bit of a haze. I’ve had a few things going on personally and combine that with recent events that occurred in Japan it really makes you step back and think. It’s been one natural disaster after the other! Hey Mother Nature give us a break! With all the travelling I do, I love nothing more than to be able to step back in [...]

Roast Beef with Chimichurri

by Peter G February 9, 2011 Recipes

If you placed lamb, chicken or beef in front of me naturally I would go for the lamb. I love its flavour especially when cooked the “Greek way”; using lemon juice, olive oil and oregano. Like anything though, it’s good to take a break otherwise things can get quite monotonous and boring. For the first time in a long time, I prepared a roast beef for a dinner party I [...]

Photo friday-”Surf and Turf”

by Peter G December 17, 2010 Personal

Christmas day lunch? A flashback to the 70′s? A modern day revamp of “surf and turf“? All of the above. I haven’t had this combination of meat and seafood in years. I predict it

Chickpea “Flatbreads” with Pork Souvlaki

by Peter G March 18, 2010 Greek Food

Unlike my previous recipe for souvlaki (which you’ll have to buy this book to find out how to make it) this one utilises pork. Pork is the traditional meat used to make souvlaki, that you find in Greece. Personally, I prefer lamb but this is just as good. It’s all good! Back in January,

A Little Story…That Ends With A Burger

by Peter G August 21, 2009 Personal

This is going to be an “all over the place” post. Just wanted to share some of my recent pics that I have been taking with my “new” Polaroid 779 film and my new medium format camera. There’s a whole new area of food photography I want to explore. Film just has this beautiful aesthetic about it that really can’t be replicated by digital. So, let’s start the story with the [...]

Baked Beef Ragu

by Peter G June 24, 2009 Recipes

With the colder weather in full swing I’ve been further experimenting with slow braises and casseroles. The above dish is a result from playing around in the kitchen. As I stated in my beef stifado recipe I like to use chuck steak in my casserole cooking. It’s a cheap cut of meat, with a good amount of fat that melts as it is slowly cooked. I buy it in big [...]

Rack of Lamb-Greek Style

by Peter G April 28, 2009 Greek Food

Oh! Let’s see…Greek Easter was over a week ago now and here I am posting my celebratory Easter dish that I cooked. A little late I know, but hey! no one said this was a race or a competition. And really, you don’t need a special event to eat and enjoy this dish. It makes a perfect meal in any season but traditionally I do like the flavours of lamb [...]

I “can” Lamb Salad

by Peter G March 31, 2009 Recipes

Yes, it’s another lamb recipe! Have a good look around my blog and you will find a number of recipes for it. I am addicted to it! I love everything about it and it probably has to be my favourite meat. This is my third salad in a row and I can tell you this is very filling and quite good for you too. The reason I called it “I [...]
