So that would be me in the top and Paul Hogan below – in the exact location he did his original “throw another shrimp on the barbie” ad for Tourism Australia years ago.
Hello,
The world is moving on, so many different rules and regulations in different places. My hope is that the relaxation of social distancing rules will not lead to another rise in infections. We must all continue to do our best to safeguard ourselves and the lives of others while enjoying the freedom and hopefully the boost to economies which relaxation brings. On a personal note, I am sorry not to have continued with Facebook Live at the moment, nor the Zoom cooking classes. Unfortunately, someone close to me has serious health issues which are taking my whole attention. So this will be a shorter weekly update than usual, but with some very important events which I would love you to join in. Cure Cancer is one especially dear to my heart.
Cure Cancer World’s Biggest Virtual BarbeCURE
On May 16, THAT’S TOMORROW, Cure Cancer is hoping to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® for the Biggest Virtual BarbeCURE, sponsored by Barbeques Galore. We are asking Australians to turn on their barbecues at home and get together with their families and friends online to fund some of the world’s brightest Cancer Researchers. To break the record, we need 6,000 Australians to participate.
Through the Biggest Virtual BarbeCURE iCure Cancer hope to nspire Australian communities to join together during this difficult period of isolation. Funds raised via the campaign will support our cancer researchers and help them to continue their life saving work to find a cure for all cancers, work that should never be forgotten or paused.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Join our Biggest Virtual BarbeCURE on May 16 12pm-12am
Easy Pulled Pork with Apple and Brussel Sprout Slaw
Last week I did a poll. I asked my Facebook followers if they had been spending more time in the kitchen and asked how they felt about it. Over 90% of people had been spending more time cooking, and most were loving it! I want to help people hang on to this happy association to cooking for as long as possible. So here are my recipes which focus on simple batch cooking to make a big delicious meal you can eat over several nights, or freeze leftovers for later. You can find the recipes here: Spicy Lamb Sausage Rolls Beef and Red Wine Pies Jamon Croquetas Easy Pulled Pork with Apple and Brussel Sprout Slaw
