What's it all about?

I love cooking, and more importantly, eating good food and I set up this blog to share my favourite recipes, links and ideas with my friends and family.

I am a home cook. Not a particularly distinguished or accomplished one, but someone who simply enjoys honest, fresh and delicious food. I don’t enjoy pretentious restaurants and 'over done' dishes- the kind that you are afraid touch to with your fork for fear of ruining them! And for this reason, every recipe you find here will be simple and open to interpretation. I also believe it’s important to put your own stamp on the food you make so please feel free to change things and substitute ingredients as you wish. Enjoy!

Colin's pulled pork chilli- step one

My friend Colin made a scrumptious authentic chilli for a mates 50th birthday celebration a few months back and as i was feeling the need to keep out the bone chilling weather a week or so ago with good food i asked for the recipe.

It is made with slow-roasted pulled (shredded) pork instead of the usual mince meat, which has to be be cooked first. At Colin's suggestion i bought a big piece of pork, made the pulled pork yesterday and had half for dinner, then saved the other half to make the chilli tonight.

I shall report on the full results tomorrow however, i can tell you that the pulled pork made for a meltingly tender, juicy, smoky flavoured sunday roast and im looking forward to stage two immensely!

The recipe for both the pork and the chilli can be found on Colin's blog Schizzling! http://www.shizzling.com/2010/02/shredded-pork-in-chipotle-chile-salsa-recipe.html
