Zinc Saucier Edition 9 – Calzone
Today we make a a pizza pocket. Simple as that. Well not quite that simple. So this recipe was a bit of a mixed success. I didn't like the taste of the cheese combination I used, Sinead wasn't a fan of the sauce. So I'll have to perfect it at a later date. Here's the...
Zinc Saucier Edition 8 – Fried Chicken and Biscuits
We have a bona-fide success from the kitchen: Fried chicken and biscuits. Or scones, if you're not American. Doesn't that look delicious? The recipe for biscuits is easy enough, in fact I did a post about them. Which apparently I've pinged back to several times. Once...

Let me just say right off the bat, this turned out much better than the peppered steak. But it isn't peppered steak so let's move along with this. For the first time ever I used a crockpot, and for the first time ever I made pastry. Each turned out fine, however there...

A nice down home country, easy as... sloppy joes recipe for all you food fans out there. Sloppy Joes are a fantastic twist on the regular old burger. The basic premise of the sloppy joe is that it's a loose meat burger with ketchup mixed in. That's it, the recipe is...
