Whats Cooking?

Welcome to the 1^st instalment of Menus’ from the Hospitality Boys, where every so often we will try to bring you new exciting menus’ (recipes if asked for) and tantalising dishes that you can create at home for little of the cost it would normally be when you buy take out.

The inspiration behind most of my dishes is simple; fewer ingredients = more flavour.

I’ve learnt so much from my family and from all the Chefs I have interacted with in my career.

Two tips you need to know; 1. Always cook with what you know, 2. Keep it simple... simple works.

Creating dishes/meals is a lot like making a cocktail at a bar; it’s a lot about experimenting with different ingredients. Some cocktails taste lovely & some dreadful.

That’s the same with food; by adding an extra ingredient or leaving one out can either ruin or make the dish.

These dishes I have placed on our 1^st Edition of Menus’ are all things I have made before and have had remarkable feedback on. I love cooking over & over again for my guests, family & friends.

The good thing about having a few choices under each meal is that you can ‘mix n match’ to satisfy your hunger needs and what your taste buds desire.

So have fun, go crazy and jot down some meals that you’ve made or have seen on TV , in magazines, recipe books etc... And give it a go!

I can guarantee there is no better feeling than sitting down to a meal you yourself have prepared, cooked and served! 

The satisfaction you get from tucking into it with friends and loved ones is immeasurable. 

You will get some great feedback along the way and the best one of all is an EMPTY PLATE.

Please enjoy these healthy, hearty dishes and if you require any information about recipes or drinks to match your meal, please jump on our wall or Blog and drop us a line.

Happy cooking,
