My fall back food is always Macaroni & Cheese. I always have pasta, cheese, flour and milk in the house so when I am at a loss for what to eat (or just need to be indulged), this is where I turn. I am a coffee snob. I have several coffees from several countries on … Continue reading MIKEY’S KITCHEN HABITS (PART 4)

What was your first dish you mastered? Stir fry. I think everybody turns to a stir fry when they’re in dire need of something fast. I think my old stir fry’s consisted of frying some pork until it was rubber, throwing in a mixed bag of veg, some precooked noodles and emptying a sachet of … Continue reading QUESTIONNAIRE, PART 3
‘I said pantry… not panty… you sicko’. My pantry is the most important place on Earth to me. I mean, it doesn’t have any doors and I constantly cook in a state of fear that it’s going to collapse and kill me but I know for a fact if we were in a nuclear war, … Continue reading PANTRY RAIDER

I have a cupboard dedicated entirely to empty jars. I’m always making sauces, meat rubs and dips of some description and I never want to be without an empty jar to hold it. When making a pasta sauce, I always use a little bit of the pasta cooking water in the sauce. The starch from the pasta … Continue reading MIKEY’S KITCHEN HABITS, PART 2
I am anxiously old-school with culinary technology. The thought of an electric coffee maker, bread maker or ice cream maker makes me nervous. I have a strange dislike for too many buttons and am very technologically challenged. Nobody ever died from making coffee manually. I hate talking about food when I’m eating. There’s so many other … Continue reading MIKEY’S KITCHEN HABITS, PART 1
I used to hide cabbage under my plate until my Grandmother – who would always pile up her Sunday roasts like skylines – would shame me into eating it by calling it ‘spinach’ . It’s because Popeye was big at the time, not that I liked Popeye, but it made my Grandmother laugh and I was … Continue reading SHAMEFUL FOOD CONFESSIONS
