This is something I’ve wanted to make since I saw it on a menu when we were visiting the Isle of Skye, It’s certainly not healthy and not for the feint hearted but it’s bloomin tasty. Which beer you use is up to you, I used one I’d bought while I was up there as […]

Beer and curry is a pairing that often get’s written about and deliberated over and over again, In all honesty most pale ales are perfect with a curry, even some stouts work well but If I’m planning to make a curry I’ll make sure I’ve got some suitable beer in, nothing too complex or heavy […]

On our recent trip to Belgium one of my favourite meals was pork ribs cooked in Kriek and served with a huge bowl of salty, crispy skinny fries and mayo, It was delicious so I’ve re created the flavours using pork shoulder and my slow cooker. It’s really easy and you can choose to leave […]

Leigh from the Good Stuff asked me if I wanted to take part in his food and beer Christmas day post, I agreed and had intended to cook each of the dishes as a bit of a trial run but haven’t had the time so I’m just going to mention what I’m planning on having. […]
