Now I know this isn't traditional Charcuterie, which is defined as: "The French word for a person who prepares charcuterie is charcutier, generally translated into English as "pork butcher". This has led to the mistaken belief that charcuterie can only involve pork. The Food Lover's Companion, however, says, "it refers to the products, particularly (but not limited to) pork specialties such as pâtés, rillettes, galantines, crépinettes, etc., which are made and sold in a delicatessen-style shop, also called a charcuterie." The 1961 edition of Larousse Gastronomique defines it as: "The art of preparing various meats, in particular pork, in order to present them in the most diverse ways."
I have altered that a bit to basically become different types of smoked and cured meats, in this case salami and prosciutto along with little finger foods. So it basically is a little tasting menu of a nice variety. You can make yours up however you wish. I love this for TV nights with friends or with a nice wine when I don't want a meal but rather a nice snack.
What You'll Need:
Salami
Prosciutto
mustard
pickles
cheese
olives
crackers
melon
mango

Make it however you wish. There are no rules and it's all about personal preferences

Nice seeing all of the cool and refreshing stuff for the warm weather. When are we going to see you outside on the grill? Do a video during a BBQ with friends?

I love this sort of food in the summer, essentially when it's hot. You can't go wrong with it. I'd swap the crackers for a good french baguette though.

My favorite snack is chips n salsa but finding good quality chips is not as easy as it should be, so I decided to start making my own. I also like them baked instead of fried so I just take some flour tortillas and cut them into triangle and bake them. Its super simple and they are so good! I also like my own salsa or pici de gallo.
You can add ground beef or any other topping you wish to beef it up a bit! This is easy and delicious!
What You'll Need:
flour tortillas
1 onion
1 jalapeno
2 tomatoes
1/2 mango sliced
2 limes
Cilantro
blender or food processor
shredded cheese

Perfect for TV night or watching a game!

I LOVE eggs benedict but unless you make them at home it's hit or miss in restaurants. I also LOVE french toast so I decided to merge them into one awesome dish!
I also really loved breakfast for dinner when I was a kid. So this time I'm doing this video and having all of my favorites in one shot!
I also used the yolk of the poached eggs instead of Hallandaise sauce!
What You'll Need:
day old italian bread
4 eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 eggs poached
slice of quality ham

Sinfully great and perfect for dinner or brunch too!

Sliders seem to be everywhere these days! I see them on every menu it seems! So a few years ago I decided to make some for a little get together I was having and they were a huge hit! I used spicy italian sausage instead of hamburger and that was a great idea!
I like mine nice n simple, with just cheese, onion and pickle. I use extra pepper because something about it on the pickle makes it incredible!
What You'll Need:
Spicy Italian Sausage
Sweet Onion
Garlic Dill Slices
Cracked Pepper
Dijon Mustard

An awesome idea for a get together or for kids!!

I'm watching some specialist videos
BBQ this weekend.
My speciality will be my burgers.
Fry half a finely chopped mild onion with a chopped medium hot chilli in just a spray of olive oil - cook gently for a couple of minutes just to soften the onion and then put aside to cool.
Mix your onion and chilli with 1lb of lean steak mince and add salt and pepper to taste.
Once well mixed, separate out into 8 balls. I use a chef's ring now to help shape the burger - press one ball of mince into the ring and make an even patty.
Take a generous piece of cheddar cheese and place in the centre of the patty.
Now take another ball of mince,flatten it and place on top of the cheese. Seal the edges of the burger and remove from the ring.

Cook to your taste on the BBQ. If you do it right, the cheese stays in the burger until you cut it when it oozes out. Careful, though, the cheese can get quite hot.
If I remember, I will take pictures, but I may well be rather sozzled by the time they are cooked.

My friends love going out on my boat with me not just for the nice day on the water and tubing, but also for the foods that I bring along with us! I always try and bring something that impresses! One of the most
requested is my chicken salad. Everyone seems to love it, and I will admit that it's pretty damn good! I have a secret ingredient that makes an otherwise simple recipe a really unique one! You'll have to watch the
video to find out the secret ingredient :)
What You'll Need:
chicken breast
red onion
chopped celery
2 tablespoons mayo
2 tablespoons secret ingredient
pinhc of dill
pinch of bacon crumbles
pepper
sea salt

Make sure you watch the video for the secret ingredient!!
