The trick to the perfect roast potatoes? Bi-carb, hot fat, and a little shoogle. -————————————— INGREDIENTS Maris piper/kestrel potatoes, peeled and halved ½ tsp bi-carb soda ½ tsp salt 4 sprig rosemary ½ bunch thyme 150g unsalted butter, chopped up Grape seed oil Salt and pepper to taste -————————————— METHOD Pre-heat oven to 220°C. Line a baking tray with foil, then with a layer of baking paper, add in enough oil to cover the whole bottom of the tray. Put the tray into the oven for the oil to heat up. Meanwhile, peel your potatoes, cut in half, and put them into a large pot of cold water with the bi-carb and salt, cover and put onto the stove to gently boil until half cooked. Drain into a colander and bash the potatoes inside the colander to rough up the outside of the potato. Take your tray out of the oven and spread the potatoes out on the tray evenly, then spoon the oil over the top so they will go crispy all over. Place them back in the oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown. To make the beurre noisette to finish these perfect puppies, place all of the chopped butter in a small pot and place on a medium heat, after the solids cook out it will start to foam and have a nutty colour and aroma. Roughly chop the rosemary and thyme and add into the butter – it should make a very satisfying noise and aroma when it hits the butter – leave in there for 2 mins then spoon over the potatoes. Season the potatoes to your liking – I added salt and a heap of white pepper – mix through and eat straight away so they’re super crunchy.

After wearing board shorts for the last month, we dusted off some adult clothes and had a night out in Melbourne. Very fun night, thanks @davidjonesstore! (Soz for the photos, we pretty much just took selfies of ourselves all night…)
Coffee is something I take seriously. Finding a Lavazza coffee machine that grinds beans on demand…..only in Italy! #ambassador #coffeelover

It’s been 6 years since I cooked with this legend @kobedesramaults over in Chile with @rgborago When I found out Kobe was doing a pop-up restaurant – @stazionevucciria 20 minutes outside of Cefalu, Sicily – I was in! We made our way there and had one of those unforgettable meals. Beautiful sunset, food, wine and service. If you’re anywhere in Europe before the end of October, it’s worth a flight to Sicily!
