Pulled Pork, the Waitrose Way
I’m usually very good at blowing my own trumpet about how good my home-smoked pulled pork is.

Cold Smoking Session July 2014
As I haven’t been completely healthy the last month or so, I have been concentrating on essential tasks in the garden and about the house; to the neglect of doing fancy stuff with food. As a result, it has been a while since I last did some cold smoking.
Grab a Handful
I have a beef stew in the slow cooker today. It is a very rough and ready recipe, which changes easily depending on what ingredients I have. Very roughly:
Wild Boar and Venison Stew
On the way back from an Easter break in Glasgow, I followed a friend’s advice and stopped off at the M6 Motorway Services at Tebay. These are one of the rare services that are not part of a chain – Tebay Services have a long history, excellent home-style food, and a brilliant farm shop.
Codlo – Easy Sous-Vide for the home
Some readers will be aware of my dalliances with arduino-based temperature controllers, particularly for the BBQ.
Iron Horse Ranch House
Market Deeping’s Iron Horse Ranch House moved to its new larger premises at the start of the month.
Quick and tasty beef stew
I am working this afternoon, and having got back from the shops I have only an hour to have lunch and relax before starting a job that is not going to give me much time for breaks for the rest of the afternoon, and possibly the day.
This is how I cook
There has been some conversations amongst my Facebook friends recently, about slow cooker recipes. Although I follow recipes for bread and cakes and similar, for slow cooking (and to a certain extent, BBQ) I tend to wing it. This is how I cook – my culinary life runs on substitutions, approximations and lots of “that will probably work”.
Another slow cooker
I love slow cookers, they are a very easy way to turn cheap cuts of meat into deliciousness, and because the cooking is so gentle, it is almost impossible to spoil something by overcooking it.
Speaking of gloves
Here are the best pair of heatproof gloves I have found, for kitchen or BBQ use – the Gloven.
