How to at home
Crispy skin, boneless, not fatty and almost as easy to cook as a chicken. So, when you have friends and family over why not go the extra mile and try this recipe. I promise if you do you will play this as your trump card every time you want to impress. There is a lot […]
This dish came about because I am on a keto diet (my family is not). Therefore, I often seem to have surplus cabbage in the fridge. There is only so much coleslaw one can eat. What to do with this cabbage? Cabbage rolls of course. When researching I read about this German recipe which required […]
Today I used a pickled Silverside to make my Corned Beef. Other cuts of pickled beef like Girello and brisket may also be used. The preparation time is short as you buy the meat already pickled. Allow 2 hours cooking time and you will have a great dinner plus encore eats for a week. Slice […]

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.

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
