http://mymelbournerestaurants.blogspot.com/2008/11/hubbys-beef-wellington.html
Roadtesting restaurants and recipes. Tuesday, November 18, 2008. This was divine. Something a bit different for a Sunday roast. You take 2 pieces of good scotch fillet. Season and seal in the pan. Pan fry mushrooms and thyme. Top the scotch fillet with duck pate, your mushrooms and a fresh sprig of thyme. Wrap it up in puff pastry. Brush the top with egg yolk. Bake in a hot oven until golden brown. Serve with mash and veges. Labels: beef wellington recipe. November 21, 2008 at 2:27 AM. Group Recipes - fo...

Melbourne Delectable: Peanut beef with bok choy and beans
http://mymelbournerestaurants.blogspot.com/2008/02/peanut-beef-with-bok-choy-and-beans.html
Roadtesting restaurants and recipes. Sunday, February 24, 2008. Peanut beef with bok choy and beans. Yum- sauce is really like a satay sauce and just spunks up the simple steaks. Fulfilled my half hour rule- so definitely a good mid-week starter! Satisifying enough for hubby's hunger (think peanuts help). Peanut beef with bok choy and beans. 1 clove garlic, crushed. 1 1/2 tbsp of peanut butter. 1 cup coconut milk. 1 tbsp. soy sauce. 2 bunches bok choy, quartered and blanched. Beetroot and eggplant curry.

Melbourne Delectable: My first Rogan Josh
http://mymelbournerestaurants.blogspot.com/2008/03/my-first-rogan-josh.html
Roadtesting restaurants and recipes. Monday, March 3, 2008. My first Rogan Josh. I've always wanted to make this as it's one of my favourite dishes at Indian restaurants. Again armed with the Madhur Jaffrey classic. I had a go and was surprised how simple this was. The only messy bit (assuming you get your butcher to cube the lamb) was making the paste. 5 cm (2 inches) knob of ginger peeled and coarsely chopped. 8 cloves garlic, peeled. 4 tbsp 300 (10 fl oz) water. 10 tbsp vegetable oil. 1 ¼ tsp salt.

Melbourne Delectable: Melbourne Preserves competition
http://mymelbournerestaurants.blogspot.com/2010/03/melbourne-preserves-competition.html
Roadtesting restaurants and recipes. Monday, March 8, 2010. I shouldn't be putting this up, as it will no doubt diminish my chances of winning, but thought there might be some interest out there.Aesop's Fitzroy store have gone all CWA and are having a competition for Langham Melbourne Masterclass tickets for the best fruit preserves- I love it, though a shame I'm not that good at making jam. I'm going to give it a crack- I've bought a kilo of plums, now just need a good recipe. March 12, 2010 at 2:34 AM.

http://mymelbournerestaurants.blogspot.com/2010/02/cookbook-challenge-love.html
Roadtesting restaurants and recipes. Sunday, February 14, 2010. Cookbook Challenge - Love. For this weeks challenge, everything revolved around Rusty. My first dish was a Black Sticky Rice Pudding, cause he loves it. My second was a Black Forest cake because, well I love him and its favourite cake. Both dishes were delicious and we ate the whole cake with the help of only one other person. The Black Sticky Rice keeps well in the fridge and we had it for desert a few nights running. 2 tsp baking powder.

Roadtesting restaurants and recipes. Wednesday, June 10, 2009. Bake Club- Plum and Ricotta Crumble Cakes. Welcome to Bake Club. The first rule of Bake Club is you do not talk about Bake Club. The second rule of Bake Club is YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT BAKE CLUB. OK Bake Club isn't quite like that, but talk about pressure. The real second rule of bake club is that you can't wimp out and just buy something- you have to bake it. Two people per week for about 20 people. And this week was my first week. Awwww bake ...

Melbourne Delectable: Smoky Grilled Pork with Barbecued Corn Salad
http://mymelbournerestaurants.blogspot.com/2008/02/smoky-grilled-pork-with-barbecued-corn.html
Roadtesting restaurants and recipes. Tuesday, February 19, 2008. Smoky Grilled Pork with Barbecued Corn Salad. I love to cook, but let's face it, during the week after work, I don't really have that much time. So I'm trying out some recipes that talk half an hour or less, are healthy and hopefully delicious. This week I've picked 5 recipes from the latest Donna Hay (feb/ March 2008) that are quick to test as potential mid-week favourites. 4 x 100g thin pork steaks (I used pork cutlets and worked out fine).

http://mymelbournerestaurants.blogspot.com/2010/03/gluhwein-jam.html
Roadtesting restaurants and recipes. Saturday, March 13, 2010. I had some trouble with setting, so had to add in the juice of another lemon and cooked the actual lemon with it for about half an hour over the times stated below. It's turned out very yummy (passed the husband test) and looks beautiful in the Quattro Stagione jars I bought- fingers crossed I win the Langham Masterclass tickets now. 1 tsp black peppercorns. 1 tsp anise seeds. 2 dried bay leaves, crumbled. 2 cups dry red wine. Mint and apple ...
