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
My salads are always put together on a pyramid scheme. One salad leaf as a base, one main “star” (the meat or main vegetable), one vegetable accompaniment, one ‘onion’ type (spring onions, shallots etc) and a dressing. Anything more is too complicated.

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.
