Very interesting post Wil. You can't beat fish that fresh thats for sure. Have very fond memories of stopping over at Mombasa on my return from my work in Zambia many years ago. It was in the hotel there that I had octopus curry which was fantastic. On the subject of fish I recall having butter fish in George when we travelled the famed Garden Route in South Africa - that was delicious. Happy days. Have a great trip & report back on your culinary experiences.

Roast rib of beef..sounds amazing ! I am cooking some pork shoulder steaks today, cooking in slow cooker with apples, chives, otherwise could be tough. If anyone has the time,would like to know some detailed recipes. Ingredients/methods/ cooking times....etc. Would be brilliant. Nothing to complicated for me, but I am happy to have a go.

I have acquired some pheasants locally. Never tasted or cooked so any tips would be appreciated. First thought was to roast but no logic behind that move.

Got some beef short ribs coming this week, going to brown them then fry off onions, garlic & carrots before adding a bit of tomato puree. Put the ribs back in the pot & then add a botte of ale & beef stock, bring to the boil & then put in the oven for 4 hours.

That sounds wonderful Fscarlet. I cooked beef short ribs on our smoker last summer, basted with honey - they were good.

Aye BBC Good food is brilliant. Not only do they have contributions from the public but the majority of recipes that celebrity chefs do on Saturday Kitchen end up on there.

Pimp I will gladly provide some recipes. Let me know your dislikes first. The recipe that Fscarlet provided me from the BBC Good Food site is a great source of one off recipes. I just google recipes with whatever ingredient & there you have it. You mention slow cooking - great way to cook in one pot with very tender outcomes. My favourite Sunday roast is slow cooked shoulder of lamb. I have also made spiced slow cooked lamb shanks. Not overly spicy just cumin & red wine, I serve it with mash and savoy cabbage & a bottle of Malbec ( for drinking I would add not cooking!!!!).

See if you can get a good rub/marinade for it & cover the steaks, then cover & put in fridge. Take them out the fridge & come to room temp then pan fry for 3 mins in a bit of oil on each side over a medium to high heat then cover with foil & rest.

Is anyone watching Gordon Ramsey's latest money spinning cooking show - Next Level Chef? Now Gordon is a bit loud and frantic for my taste but the programme does give some interesting tips for taking good home cooking to "the next level". Last week the chefs were tasked with making one of their family favourites. One chef cooked shepherd's pie and made it a little different by incorporating parmisan in his mash potato topping.

Yes it's very American in its concept but it is a good & easy watch. I think they're being split from their teams this week. I must say some of the equipment from in the basement is hilarious!!

Thanks GPR. Looks as if I will need to employ you for a paid tutorial! We eat most things, generally plain and simple. I do'nt cook with wine , because we obviously cannot start stocking alcohol in the house. Shame about that, but its the way it is.Gone off lamb a little, otherwise, OK with most. I slow cook beef on Sunday (slow cooker), then in the week vary with chicken, fish, spag bog, cawl, casserole etc. Need someone with your expertise to take me to another level. I love cooking, but wish do'nt always have to do it. The wife and me work together, allays, sue cleans veg, while I do other stuff. Problem is , she will never remember cooking times or what's on stove. Anything I can learn is really welcome. This another great thing aboutbthe forum, a wealth of expertise to be tapped into....and its "Scarlets expertise "
