Wagu beef Tortalini pasta with a rich red wine mushroom sauce #wagu #Tortalini #pasta #letseat #home #foodie

Very clumsy way to do this, I wish these apps were not so limited. We need more freedom from big brother. Here is a short cut recipe for a base Passat sauce I was asked for. This will serve you well, quick tasty and easy. Try were you can to add the confit garlic and its oil.

A nice potter about last night making homemade Napoli sauce and confit garlic for a pasta dinner tonight. Yum! #homemafe #confitgarlic #napolisauce #workfromhome

And finally Indian banquet night. Beef vindaloo, Bimla chicken curry, patch phorone 5 spice potatoes, pilau rice and mutter paneer.ln nan and pomegranate raita.

Toasting and grinding my spices for a nice curry. Dare I say chicken curry without the vegans coming for me again? I hope so, what a shocking ordeal. I think they are bored with me now fortunately and are probably attacking someone else now?

Good morning world. Not my usual post, but feel I need to mention the attack I have been under from vegans this Morning regarding a roast duck dinner pic I published!!! Yes I’m a chef and a foodie. Never has this happened to me before. Vile comments and pics have been sent to me by these vegans!

Let’s eat more duck, easy to cook and such a beautiful rich flavour. Lemon, garlic confit, rosemary and cracked pepper in the cavity. Extra rich scallop potato’s and mixed heritage carrots. I really encourage you to try this.

Beautiful BBQ quails. The marinade is so worth making. I do like to marinate overnight, but even an hour gives good results. Please message for marinade. It’s a shame we are so restricted with text here as well isn’t it!

For those that may like to read my monthly Blog, it’s in the description on my Instagram page. It’s a good monthly update of what I get up to. It will be transformed into a lifestyle YouTube channel shortly.

Warm quail salad with poached pears, apples and blackberries. Nice fresh salad leaves with baby radish and pomegranate seeds. Honey and pomp molasses dressing with sourdough croutons! #quailsalad #poachedfruit #bbqquail #home

Had a prototype cap made by a local graffiti artist! Really impressed! #B.C Before Cliff #graffiti #creative #cap #merchandise

Another refurbishment project finished. From Disney bedsides that couples fight over to a welcome stylish addition. Beautiful feminine lines calmed with masculine colour Pebble river by Porters paints, and aged bronze drawer pulls! #bedsides #workfromhome #letspaint #create

Geocaching a great fun app. And this app wants you out and about. You seek out hidden caches and put your name & date on it and register into the app. Tell people your thoughts. Or even create a cach yourself. #geocach #fun #outdoors #freshair #allaroundtheworld

Under Seaford pier. I love taking videos and photos in spots like this seeing the ocean in its different moods. Out scouting areas for future gourmet picnic and BBQ offerings. #gournetdining #seafordpier #melbourneaustralia #workfromhome #foodieme

Induction plates out again last night. Mussels this time is a homemade passata sauce. I really enjoy this, and it’s also a great way to get people cooking and interacting. #inductionplates #mussels #home #letscook #fastandfresh

Nearly there with this project now. I’m so pleased I went over the glossy white. #workfromhome #letspaint

I have had to stop for a few days! Weather does stop play at times!! But it’s all coming along nicely now. Love the colour and the simple aged bronze hardware. #letspaint #workfromhome #create #hygge

Spring here in Melbourne Australia. Cool today but blue skies. I love all the colours in the ocean, beach & sky. #seafordbeach #melbourneaustralia #latelunch #eggsbenidict #freshair

There is always the ugly stage especially when painted by hand! I am likely moving onto a spray painting kit shortly after all these years! I do love the colour however. #letspaint #workfromhome #queenanne #hygge #create

My new project. Queen Anne bedsides.

HOT POT night. Fish, king prawn, Chinese sausage & prawn wonton. Lots of vegetable and beautiful Asian chicken stock. I highly recommend purchasing induction plates and pots to make your own. Healthy, tasty & fun. #hotpot #foodie #create #fun

Ahh an English man must have his afternoon tea, and of course it must be nice, if not done properly. I have created so many little nooks and crannies to enjoy these beautiful moments in the afternoon around the home and gardens. #afternoontea #home #special #stylish #theenglishman

The shabby has landed! My finished Boho Shabby Chic chest has made it into my shop. So happy with this little cutie. #mantique #shabbychic #boho #cutechest #workfromhome #create #hygge

My twin brother Hudson has worked tirelessly on this buffet. It was all undercoated in white primer paint. Then I changed my mind and wanted to strip it back in places. #poorbrother #chalk-paint #furniture-refurbishment #workfromhome #Create

My first shabby chic piece in a long time. Back to basics. I’m very pleased with it so far. Chalk paint in chiffon cream. I to my sales area “Mantique” #mantique #shabbychic #create #crative #workfromhome #melbourneaustralia #letspaint

Winter in Melbourne Australia! We do have cold rainy days of course, but those days are always broken up with warm sunny spells like this. It’s hard to believe that only 8 hours away our alpine region is having massive dumps of snow! #winter #winterinmelbourne #dogwalk #wintersunshine #seaford

Testing crème brûlée for a feature 3 course dinner feature for my monthly Blog. I still enjoy cooking at home. #cremebrulee #home #dinnerparty #workfromhome #hygge #threecoursedinner #desserts #chef #foodie #fun

BBQ dinners even in autumn. And let’s not forget the panfried apples & pears to complement the pork chops. Butter, extra virgin olive oil, chilli flakes, cracked Blackmore and finish with honey. #bbq #panfried-fruit #home #dinner #tasty

BBQ dinners even in autumn. Testing the BBQ cages I bought from Amazon, no losing vegetables on the grill anymore. Grate buy #bbq #bbq caged #home #dinner #tasty

And I have moved the remaining finch into his new Edwardian Avery and bought him 5# new friends. The native butcher bird here killed the others!!! But now that the butcher bird can’t open its beak to strike through square wire my birds are now safe.

After a 120 kilometre round trip. We picked up our 4# new blue baby budgies. Next morning they appear to be rather settled. #budgies #home #hygge #melbourne #australia #Seaford #joy
