On the Road again! We = Me, Wife, Dog and Caravan! Are heading north again to escape the WA winter and head to the Tropics! That’s the beauty of Australia- it’s so big and one can follow the Sun ! I’m retired now from Chefing and Teaching but still Travelling and Writing, and of course Cooking- always! So watch this space as it’s going to be a long journey! Also I will be updating my social media and created a few ‘shorts’’ or ‘Postcards’ of travel and food of course. So will put on links and I should be on Blogger, LinkedIn and YouTube. Hopefully improving my media skills as I go, and lots of Exploring of course. Also testing out some small Tapas like dishes as I go - like Tasters for my next book- like Albondigas meatballs here, but served with a fresh Horseradish Sauce I made from my local garden club, after someone said there was horseradish in the ground. So I added a Spade to my tools and and here we go! Oh and a Frittata, another great Taster dish for camp...

UPDATE 2026 As I navigate through a new year of semi retirement (50 YEARS Working!) and a new blog, I realise that I am better at navigating my way around the world and around a recipe, than on social media! So bear with me. A profile to come and my latest Books link to follow. I have been mainly spending the 2020's , teaching Online Cooking Classes, then Travelling to Asia and Europe (2025) and this year around Australia. But I am still available for cooking classes at schools in the South West of WA and Online classes, which were popular in 2024. As well as continuing to write my 'Taste of the World' Travel/Cook books. My first book with over 20 published true Travel & Chef short stories and 30 recipes from 18 countries is now for sale on:Books.by: (my own bookstore). At only $11.99 Aus. Check out here books.by/the-chef-explorer Just the first book for now, and the second one 'The Taste of the World Cup' to still go on. I am working on the next book: ATast...
A TASTE OF WA

Catalan Spinach
Subscribe to my Youtube channel below folks for another live video on Catalonian dishes. This is the lovely Spinach & Pine-nut Dish-very quick to make/just a 10 minute video. I was in a rush (life!) so I mentioned chicken from last week, just ignore that-its live! i also toasted the pine nuts in the oven but all details are in my recipe on my website on the 'Classes' page. This video shows the main points. For Vegetarains you can miss out the Ham and replace with another seasonal veg of your choice. Enjoy!
