Not a cookery book per se but there are some recipes in it. None of which I've tried. Yup, that's the Michael Twitty book I referred to. Reading it at the mo.
Braai-Q Posted December 17, 2020 Report Posted December 17, 2020 Yup, that's the Michael Twitty book I referred to. Reading it at the mo.I thought I had seen Twitty mentioned but then I scrolled up and couldn’t see it. Ignore me.

Troble Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Posted December 19, 2020 Picked up my butcher box and I have to say I’m more excited opening this than any Christmas present....I think that’s a sign of a problem 2 1
Basher Posted December 29, 2020 Report Posted December 29, 2020 I’m On a rainforest holiday at Maleny reading this book.It’s pretty good.I didn’t know who James Strawbridge was before... now I do.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5
Troble Posted December 30, 2020 Author Report Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) @Basher good for you mate. Was wondering why I hadn’t seen any cooks from you. Glass of wine, rainforest & a good book sounds lovely. I’ve never heard of that guy but I trust your recommendations. What’s he all about? btw how did all those Christmas lobsters turn out? I’m no longer making lobsters as they are sending them to China again for $45/lb. I scored those first few weeks of the season fur $16-$20/lb but alas they are gone for now Edited December 30, 2020 by Troble 2
Basher Posted December 31, 2020 Report Posted December 31, 2020 Troble we had too much food on Xmas day so the cray tails remain frozen for another day.I baked a ham while also slow cooking some lamb ribs in the KK and had 3kg of local tiger prawns.Ended up with some friends over on Boxing Day to clean up the leftovers.This book caters to a wide range of food. Basically about getting lost in your kitchen with local produce curing, fermenting, baking, brewing, cooking.Here is another book I will work through these holidays.It’s 500 pages showing different cuts from different countries from wild game to farmed animals and encourages less meat but of higher quality.After reading these, you can expect me to come back with a few new cooks to share.Here is a page you may find interesting. I wonder if this aspect of Spanish charcuterie translated across to South America? We definitely have more Italian influence here.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
Troble Posted December 31, 2020 Author Report Posted December 31, 2020 @Basher amazing looking book! Can’t wait to see what it inspires you to try
Troble Posted September 22, 2021 Author Report Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) My wife and I are down here for the first time in 2 years (no kids!). So next few days I’ll be posting our eating journey. Love this place it’s magical started with lunch today at Salve Asador de Campestre aguachiles, ceviche, tuna rolled tacos and grilled octopus. 100 degrees outside so good food/weather Edited September 22, 2021 by Troble 7
Dono Posted September 23, 2021 Report Posted September 23, 2021 Really awesome pics of a great B&B/winery. I love those smaller, quaint destination spots. Nice looking couple enjoying themselves….without kids no less. I remember those days. Enjoy the visit and the eats. The grilled octopus looks awesome, by the way.

Troble Posted September 23, 2021 Author Report Posted September 23, 2021 @tony b I haven’t been back to Napa for vacation since 2012 and I don’t see us retiring there anytime soon. This place is 90 minutes from my house and it’s just amazing. Going to the outdoor Santa Maria grill Mecca tonight 2
