I’m surprised my score isn’t higher. Fuck it, I’ll have to try harder.

Three years ago I went on a boozy winery tour with a busload of artist mates. Somehow along the way I managed not only to buy two small olive trees, but also two magnificent French oak wine barrels to plant…
There’s a rumour that Melbourne hospitals lay on extra staff in the Emergency Department at this time of year. Yes, it's tomato season and given our vast migrant population, there will invariably be a few home-bottling and canning disasters. Every Italian…
Making yoghurt at home is really simple and doesn't take much science. Here we make two different styles of yoghurt using both cows' and goats' milk.
It took four hours of a Saturday afternoon to construct this gigantic pie.
The recipes available are all pretty similar, three different types of pork with herbs and spices surrounded by jelly and encased in a hot water pastry. This one…
There's a lot of meat and fat in a pork pie including the hot crust pastry which is made with lard and butter.
I bought a whole tub of dripping, which is basically like lard (pig fat) but from beef, as…
Five days later and the bacon is cured. Salty and sweet, with a hint of juniper and sage, it was worth it.
Nothing is ever easy for me. Frustrated by the poor quality of filling and pastry in local pork…
Recent journalismWe don't see much innovation in cookbooks nowadays but The Family Meal: Home Cooking with Ferran Adria is as you'd expect from one of the world's most innovative chefs.

Consult a financial adviser before drinking from a Riedel.
Dishwasher tablets erode your glasses and crockery. Use liquid instead.
Decant heavier reds at least 8 hours before drinking.

One of the most exciting chefs to be in town for the Sydney International Food Festival was the witty and erudite David Thompson. If you aren't familiar with Thompson, the…
I recently had a non-brush with death while eating what turned out not to be my last meal.
It made me think of all the meals I'd wasted. A bad…

Typical. Just as the world peaked Paul Levi, the man who had no small part in bringing us the slightly dubious word “Foodie”, launches the Gastrosexual, a man with more…
With thanks to the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.
It's 3.50 on a Friday afternoon. I've just finished a great meal cooked by Scott Pickett at The Point in Albert Park…

You will.
Most amusing.
Buggar it, I got a big fat zero. I’m clearly not pulling my weight on this one…
Sadly I use all mine up at work, where I get in trouble for it
What kind of cunt would invent such a thing?
Haha, that is great. I already know the answer to mine, though. Blame my generation and desensitizing.
Nice one Kylie, I needed a laugh
Would you like me to leave some comments on your blog, Davy?
Lucy, I thanks for the confidence in me.
Dave, I swore quite loudly when I paid for my Telmo Rodriguez Altos de Lanzaga the other week. Surprised you didn’t.
Curious button, you and Kylie should probably get together.
Jess, C’mon you can swear more.
Davy, Kylie’s already sworn enough in The Commoner.
Ed – I think she may have tagged one of the cubicles as well….”Special K”?
Kylie – Thanks for the offer but Ed seems keen to up his count(sp?) more.
“where’s the beef?” rates HIGH – 30%. WTF? I was sure we were PG-appropriate.
(Does wtf count? ‘Cause I guess that might explain the score…)
Ed, for crissakes get youself a copy of Roger Mellie’s Profanisourous Rex for inspiration & get that meter up where it belongs!
Cindy, I think they didn’t programme “cunt muscle” into the widget.
Gobbler, I do have a copy. The Viz Bumper (northern) Summer Special should be out soon.
I got 4.8%, but I reckon I haven’t put a single bad swear word in any blogs. They must count silly words like shit and crap and stuff hehehe. Your count must be going up by now Ed, with all these comments.
