The search for Inspiration

Post by urbangriller »

I'm a bit bored with the same old thing, so I’ve started looking at interesting cookbooks for inspiration, this one is interesting, but it’s missing a couple of recipes I want!

...Not to worry, I just ordered one that has got what I’m looking for! :D :D

Nelson liked, Umleqwa (farm chicken), ulusu (tripe), and amasi (sour milk) are among his favorite foods. His chef since 1992, Xoliswa Ndoyiya, published a cookbook with his favorite recipes.

Even though I should have stopped before I needed glasses I can just make out the bacon wrapped kangaroo recipe and will have a crack at this over Christmas and see how it goes.
Rest look interesting also, would emu work as well as ostrich?
Gotta love Australia, the only country in the world that can eat it's coat of arms.

Yep, Umu is Osterich!

I've had Emu terrine before, it's fantastic!

Thanks Chris,
Will be passing through Canberra next week so I'll call in at the specialty butchers and grab a bit of emu and try it. Might even do a smoked roo fillet and a bacon wrapped emu for the traditional Australia Day party along with the customary prawns and a few snags for the kids.
Flag boardies, wife basher and a couple of cans and i'll be in touch with my inner bogan.

Digging through the cookbooks, thus one from 2002 (4th edition, so earlier than that!).
Published by Southern Sisters Publishing
South Carolina
It's full of classics from the chefs of the area and is a snapshot of what the restaurants were doing at the time.

The Lovely Kate Krukowski Gooding just sent me a signed copy of her new book! It will be highly prized in my collection; you don’t get too many like this!

I’ve posted a few recipes, maybe someone would like to try them out at the Port Macquarie Comp?

Kate has written some great cookbooks including Simple Gourmet Lamb and 50 ways to eat Cock, a great recipe book for when your rooster is getting a bit past it, or maybe just woke you up one too many times!

Check her out: http://www.blackflystew.com/author.htm

Hey SM, I eat beaver all the time. I ....errrrr wait.
I mean I have often wondered what it tastes like.

Seems like it is a popular dish.
From one site I searched.

Beaver is a fine textured red meat. Fat deposits are found outside or between muscles, much like venison. While the meat will not dry out while cooking as fast as venison it
