Read moreYou know the story, we both work, one daughter, two dogs, two cats, friends, family, life. In our house there isn’t a lot of time to cook for sustenance let alone for the joy of it. Quick, simple and plenty of tuppawarable leftovers for the freezer has become the “specialite de la maison”. This is one of our staples because you can set it quickly, forget it, then use it as a base for endless dishes. Most of all it is easily varied based on personal taste, what’s in the cupboard or on a whim. Google it if my recipe doesn’t take your fancy and you will find hundreds of recipes simpler and more complex. We use a slow cooker, a mate down the road uses a crock pot left on her wood heater overnight and another uses a cast Iron pot in a very low oven. You could even do it on low on the stove-top if you are around the house. The quantities are exactly, kind’a, around about unchangeable for our tastes

Read moreMany times in history someone will take an idea and tweak it, sometimes for the better - cue: Boy and Bear's haunting version of Fall at Your Feet or Quiet Riot's Come on Feel the Noise. Unfortunately history also records that with the good comes the tragic - cue: Olivia Newton John's take on Ring of Fire or (and I can't believe this one didn't work) Bill Cosby's daring rendition of Sgt Peppers. It's with this in mind I put myself to the sword. For this weeks low and slow I have tweaked a recipe by Peter Kuruvita. Or rather have left out ingredients I just couldn't find! Much to my surprise it works and trust me is a lot more Sonic Youth covering Karen Carpenter's Superstar than it is Celine Dion hacking up AC/DC's classic You Shook Me All Night Long! As always, enjoy with great vino and people you love. 1 bottle of 2010 Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Shiraz Viognier Mourvedre for drinking whilst cooking 1 bottle of 2012 Lino Ramble ‘Treadlie’
