🔥QUICK COOKS🔥
Loving how quick and easy it is to cook some epic protein for the family on a Sunday arvo on my @firemate_hibachi_grills
2/3 kettle full of @heatbeads and it cooked a 1.5kg pork roast, and two racks of lamb cutlets in 3 hours.
A perfect cook 🔥❤️

🍊🌳THE HERMITAGE🔥🍊
I’ve had so many people ask about our stay in @orangecitycouncil over the weekend during @orangefoodweek where we got to experience @orangewineregion @orange360_allyearround and enjoy all the spoils this beautiful place has to offer.
Our @airbnb was pretty spectacular, known as “The Hermitage” this gorgeous property hosted all 7 of us, in absolute comfort. We will definitely be back so we can forage and procure, then come home and cook in the beautiful kitchen. This place is a must stay, shoot me a DM and I’m happy to share the details.

🍊🔥CHARRED🔥🍊
Bringing our weekend to a close, was an incredible degustation dining experience @charredkitchenbar
The dishes were exquisite, the highlight – a Bombe Alaska. We decided to select our own wine line up, including:
@claseazulofficial Tequila Apéritif
@tolpuddlevineyard 2017 Chardonnay
@tolpuddlevineyard 2022 Chardonnay

🧡🍊ORANGE WINES🧡🍊
What a ridiculous day of tasting some of @orangewineregion greatest vineyards!
@brangayneoforangewines tasting, followed by @rosshillwines for some incredible drops with paired tasting plate. Finished off with @patinawines with amazing hospitality from Gerard.
Privileged to taste some of the best from the region.
🧡🍊ORANGE DAY 1🧡🍊
Ridiculously grateful to be spending this time in @visit_orange during @orangefoodweek and having the opportunity to visit:
Steve & Nadja (Gen & Alex) @chalouwines a sensational vineyard creating some incredible wine ( Riesling & Grenache my pick 🍷)
@unionbankorange for a delicious lunch (croquets = next level & potatoe scallops w/ @humptydoobarramundi ) 🐟
@bloodwoodwines Stephen & Rhonda for being the OG of orange, the Merlot Noir & Maurice were incredible
@mrlimorange for the epic asian feast & wine list!
This is Day 1 of Orange 🔥🤙🏼
💨🔥SMOKED MAHI FRAME🐟
We said nothing went to waste. I smoked these Mahi frames for about two hours, infusing them with ironbark smoke. Then, I turned all that delicious flesh from inside the head, cheeks, and frame into a delicious Smoked Mahi Dip with toasted bread.
Comment ‘Mahi’ if you want me to send you the recipe! 🤙🏼🔥

@olssonssalt
🎣🐟 MAHI GALORE🎣🐟
As things start to cool off a bit the Mahi were out in force, some epic fun with these blue and yellow beauties!
Went out with a few of the boys to come home with this feast. All line caught, and not a bit of fish was wasted. Filleted with our Smokin’ Gauchos fillet/boning knife.
Stay tuned to see what we did with the frames 🤙🏼🎣
Tight lines!

🦀SWEET CHILLI CRAB🦀
Its coming to the end of Blue-swimmer season and these beauties have been in the bite! All fresh and line caught, theres no better way than making a sweet chilli crab over woodfire in our @solidteknics WOK.
Look, i’d love to say that I made this from scratch, and normally I would, but with the events of the last month and being super time poor on the weekend, the packet sauce mix from @aldiaustralia is second to none. Delicious, sweet and easy to make.
Simply brown off the crab in oil till they change colour, add in your aromatics (garlic, onion), remove the crabs, add sauce, add noodles if choice, check back in the crab, BOOM.

✌🏼🕊️FINDING PEACE🔥🌲
🖤After the unexpected passing of my dear brother Ian, we needed to take a little time to heal. ❤️🩹
We took refuge in nature, found solace in the pine forests, no outside communications, no distractions.
Whilst it was only a few short days, mother nature provided is with exploration, adventure, waterfalls, wildlife, and most importantly, fire.
We communed, we gathered. We laughed, we cried. We remembered our brother for the short life he lived, and gave thanks for the life we have.
R.I.P Ian, may you accompany us around every fire, joining us in spirit for all of our adventures 🕊️👊🏼
🖤LIMITED EDITION🖤

📩 DM for ordering instructions
🥇 First in beat dressed!
🤌🏼🔥FOODIE FRIENDS🍷🧀
How good is it when you get together with friends who share the same love for food & wine as you do?
Epic night as we went through an 8 dish Asian fusion, impeccably paired with some killer wines from @bamvinocellars
Paying for it a bit today, but worth every minute 😅
🏺🔥FIRE CLAY🔥🏺
Every session I learn something more. New techniques, new methods thanks to @guyjam from @centeredceramics and thanks to @chefjasonroberts for being my phone a friend to make sure we done f@#! Up 🤣🔥
My purpose for making things from @lagunaclay Fire Clay, available from @keaneceramics is to create ceramic tools for cooking over fire that can be made by hand.
Fire plates, Tagines, Pots and so much more. Vessels that embrace the fire and can handle the heat and the change of temperatures.
This bad boy is a mini wok / shallow bowl pan. Can’t wait to put it to use once done.
🤌🏼FINE FOOD🤌🏼
Being a cook, and not a chef, there’s a deep gratitude for the talent that surrounds us, especially here on the Central Coast.
One such talent is that of Scott & Alastair of @yellowtailrestaurant – really pushing some boundaries and always working hard to keep things fresh and interesting. No easy Feat 🔥🤙🏼
🏺🪴CENTERED CERAMICS🏺🪴
A goal I set for 2024 was to work with my hands more where I could. A year ago I was inspired by @ryanpaulder @loveryanceramics to create epic ceramics that could be used for all of our cooking endeavours. Pieces we could say were ours, and present them with pride. Bubbling away is @doingthethings_au a place where working with your hands is reinvigorated and celebrated.
I’ve been fortunate to see what is possible when using ceramics on fire, and @chefjasonroberts has set a high bar with the incredible things you can make and cook with over flame.
So here begins the journey with @centeredceramics Guy & Jen are beautiful humans, taking me on this journey to learn to make the pieces that I can use with fire cooking.
Stay tuned, more to come! Ps: hit me up if you want to know more. 🔥🔥🔥
🦌🔥HARVESTING LIFE🔥🦌
After 20 years of being out of the field, I felt it was time to reignite my love for ethically harvesting wild game meat. Very proud to be supported by @hunterselement in this journey who have provided me with the right gear to return to the bush. The quality and sustainability of Hunters Element aligns perfectly with our values. Keeping our country clean, and using recycled bottles to manufacture the bulk of their clothing range.
Thanks to the guidance and support of @johnralley and @_wilderlife_ for coaching me and directing me through the process, i’m grateful for your wisdom and knowledge.
Stay tuned as we work to create content which connects wild harvested protein to the plate using fire (wherever we can!).
I want you to think about dishes:
🐇Rabbit Spaghetti
🦌Venison Schnitzel
🐗Wild Boar Sisig
🦘Kanagroo & Bloof Orange Skewers
🐐 Goat Asado
Any requests???
Stay tuned friends, the journey has just begun.

🇵🇭🔥FILO FLAVOURS🔥🇵🇭
What a wild ride of food & flavours once again here in the Philippines. I love this place, the people are beautiful, and so much of the food is still traditional, cooked with traditional methods.
The mix of old world and new world is so engaging from traditional suckling pig (Lechon) filled with flavour, to modern fine dining, the Philippines has it all!
🇯🇵🎌IPPON YARI👹🔥🏯
Another sensational Japanese meal @ipponyari . The sashimi here was some of the freshest I’ve ever tasted, and every dish to delicious and legit!
