Wagyu beef and cheese burger with avocado

Posted by Gary

It doesn’t have to be Wagyu beef, but any beef and cheese burger will be a good meal. 

Rather than cooking the burger in a frying pan and adding extra oil and making a mess of my stove, I prefer to cook my burger pattie in my small easy to clean benchtop oven. This pattie just took 20 minutes at 200 °C.

Noodle omelet recipe

Posted by Gary

As a teenager I used to make noodle omelet for myself and my youngest brother.

It’s been many years since I’ve made a big noodle omelet and in the last week I’ve received two ‘reminders’ to go for it. 

The first hint was when Greg from Greg’s Kitchen featured his ramen hotdog tortilla omelet recipe on his YouTube channel. Then Mabel Kwong mentioned why Asians like to eat instant noodles.

Roast lamb and roast beetroot salad

Posted by Gary

Sure it’s a warm Spring day but that doesn’t mean you can’t slowly roast some Spring lamb and enjoy a salad for dinner.

This boneless roast lamb loin is easy to cook but not as easy as cooking beetroot. To prepare beetroot I just top and tail them, clean them in cold water and place on some aluminium foil. I spray them with a little olive oil and scrunch up the foil for an airtight seal. Then into the oven at 150 °C for an hour. I put them straight in the refrigerator and use them in salads.
