How to at home
Once you try onion marmalade you will make it again and again. You can use it in or with so many things. My favourite is to pair it with goats cheese. Try it on a Charcuterie board with cooked meats like terrine, sausage or ham. With any BBQ or roast meat. On a pizza, in […]
Nothing better than a good sausage roll. Nothing worse than a bad one. Usually the good ones are homemade. This is another recipe I’ve picked up along the way. When you cook these it will become obvious that this recipe came from someones Aunty or Nanna. They are so moorish. So why buy the processed […]
A recent holiday to Japan has peaked my interest in all things Japanese. I love the country and its people but most of all I love the food. I know I’m not the only one. Inspired, I wanted to give Japanese cheese cake a go. When eaten fresh it is referred to as “Cotton Cake” […]

This is a family favourite any time of year. There is something comforting about a baked pasta crunchy and golden on top. Obviously you can make any Lasagna you like it does not have to be meat.

Follow my vlog for budget friendly tips and recipes which I use regularly. I was motivated to share when the kids moved away from home. My idea was to encourage them to cook food from scratch in their home. To know how repurpose leftovers (Encore Eats). To revisit family favourites using cheaper cuts and ingredients that assist with cost of living. This website has many recipes, directions and short videos for anyone who wants to know "How to at home" with Chef Chris.
Cheers, Chris Mac
