Buko, on Boracay

Buko, on Boracay What is Buko and what us Buko , on Boracay? Well it is basically fresh coconut. Literally plucked from the tree and then hack up to leave it open at one end and flat on the other. Normally served with straw and soon as you want to eat the delicious white flesh within side. I remember being a kid in England and attending summer fairs and the like - and yes there was the coconut shy, where you had to throw balls at coconuts to win them as the gift. Now those coconuts don't look ...

Asian Beef and Prawn Salad

Asian Beef and Prawn Salad With an invite to my good friend and neighbour, Ben's birthday, with his wife Jacelyn. I thought the honourable thing to do was to knock up a quick dish. What came from the Semi-Naked Chef was this absolute knock-out Asian Beef and Prawn Salad. I don't mind saying this myself, but a few guests also said was so good too. Amrita one of the party friends commented something along the lines of; "I knew there was a chef here after I had tasted the salad, and had ...

Thai pomelo and passion fruit salad

Thai pomelo and passion fruit salad An absolute cracker of a salad and will go with any other dish in my reckoning. Or thrown in some beef and it becomes a meal in its own right. But the day I created this salad it was accompanying a BBQ this day. So smoky and fatty meats that this citrus and sour salad cut right through. Almost like a palate cleanser. Stunning look to it with all the vibrant colours and then the taste - Thai in style as it was zesty, fruity, sharp, sour, salty, spicy, ...

Deconstructed and reconstructed avocados

Deconstructed and reconstructed avocados I saw some pictures somewhere of a really interesting concept for an avocado type dish and thought I'll have a go at something similar, and in turn created my deconstructed and reconstructed avocados. This is a superb side dish or starter. It's quite acidic so it would be great with beef, or something with a strong sauce to cut through that. Plus I think my deconstructed and reconstructed avocados looks really nice back in the skin/shell. OK ...

An amazing beetroot salad – a beauty!!!

No idea of origin but I think I got the idea from a cookery show hosted in South Africa. Could not 100% validate that though, but hey it is what it is, and what this is is delicious. A lovely salad with citrus overtones that would therefore accompany a dish that is quite rich. Easily enough here for 4-6 people plus. Two stages to this - bloody easy though. Phase I, the dressing; mix in a cup/bowl the following and set aside 3 tablespoons lemon juice 3 tablespoons good olive ...
