The latest cooking adventure of the socially distant chef: Beer Can Chicken Bao. (Scroll right for more pics) Yesterday – being another Sunday in self-imposed lockdown – I decided to finally put the smoking box I got given for Christmas a couple years ago to good use (using the @webergrills BBQ Bible cook book I also scored in the family secret santa several years back). I opted for something relative simple in Beer Can Chicken, which is exactly what it sounds like – you bung a half full beer can up inside the chook before as it cooks. After salt curing the chicken for a couple of hours, washing it off and then covering it in a spice rub, I chucked it in the BBQ with the smoking box of damp wood chips (a blend of Mesquite and Hickory) for an hour and a half. I'm happy to report that it turned out great! Smoky and juicy (see the second pic for the proof). We then went all East-meets-West fusion and served it up in some steamed bao with pickled carrot & cucumber, corriander, hoi sin and sriracha. Delish! Not a bloody bad Sunday evening dinner.

Fancy stay-at-home date night Italian dinner. Scroll across for more photos. Last night I finally put the @iamginodacampo cookbook I got for Christmas to good use. Seeing as going out for dinner isn't an option, we made the fancy Italian restaurant experience happen at home. We had Gino's ragu a la Bolognese with papardelle. Note: people in Bologna never eat their world-famous meat and tomato sauce with spaghetti. You need a thicker pasta to hold onto everything. This version is awesome – really rich thanks to the pancetta and a blend of beef and pork mince that was cooked down for about 4 hours. We also dumped loads of grated peccorino and some chilli flakes on top as well. We freshened things up a bit with my fancy-ass take on a Caprese salad that had tomato, purple basil leaves from our garden, bocconcini and a freshly made pea, basil & mint pesto. Who needs to go out anyway? #socialdistancedatenight

Seeing as going out for food (and running food tours for that matter) isn't really an option at the moment, we've been channelling our energy into a lot of home cooking lately. We thought we'd start sharing our kitchen adventures with you all. We hope it helps – whether that's by giving you some inspiration for your own cooking, or just giving you something delicious to drool over and take your mind of all the awfulness for a few moments. It looks like we'll be in this mode for some time folks, so stay tuned for plenty of cooking coming at you from yours truly, the socially distant chef. Yesterday my parents dropped off some freshly caught herring fillets, so today we beer battered them (using a great, simple batter of just cold beer and SR flour), shallow fired them and had them with some leftover broccoli & potato mash. Delish!

Fancy restaurants and travelling to exotic destinations are all well and good, but sometimes you can’t beat life’s simple pleasures. When it comes to simple pleasures, a really good cheesymite scroll would definitely have to be up there for us. We got this stunner of a specimen from the Ningaloo Bakehouse & Cafe in Exmouth. The bread was pillowy-soft, the vegemite perfectly balanced and the cheese plentiful. Washing it down with a cold beer overlooking the ocean in Coral Bay certainly didn’t hurt either. What’s your favourite simple food pleasure? #foodloosetours #foodtour #perth #tasteperth #food #foodie # #foodtravel #instafood #foodstagram #comfortfood #yummy #nomnom #bartender #perthisok #perthlife #australia #perthfood #pertheats #westernaustralia #perthtodo #perthcity #perthpop #perthfoodie

Popped into the brand spanking new @fenway.subiaco for lunch today. Good burgers and a cracking selection of craft beer. Definitely a welcome addition to the Subiaco scene.

When you’re in Singapore, carrot cake is not the sort of thing that you have with a cuppa for afternoon tea. The “carrots” are actually daikon radishes that are mixed with rice flour and steamed into a cake. This is then cut up and stir-fried into a wonderful omelette-style dish containing garlic and preserved radish. It comes in either white or black varieties. The main difference is – as far as we could tell from watching ours being made – that a sweet soy sauce is stirred through right at the end with the black variety. We got these delicious examples (along with some fab Char Kway Teow) from Newton food centre. This buzzing outdoor venue is a must-do when in Singapore. Pro tip: got to the Beer 77 stall for the coldest Tiger beers in all of Singapore! Want to experience some of the best Asian cuisines in Perth? Join us on our Taste of Asia food tour!

Orange wine is the latest trend sweeping the wine world. But looks can be deceiving! It doesn’t actually contain any oranges. Instead, the vibrant colour comes from making a white wine the same way you make a red. This means leaving the skins in contact with the juice after the grapes are crushed. It adds a beautiful extra layer of texture and mouthfeel that you don’t normally get from a white. Join us on our City Secrets Foodie Adventure and we’ll take you to a fab natural wine bar that serves up some of the best orange wines in town!

There are hotdogs, and then there are the amazing creations that they make at @runamukhotdogs in South Fremantle. Every year they celebrate the 4th of July by releasing their Chilli Dog – a beast of a hotdog in which a German-style bratwurst is topped with chilli con carne, guacamole, cheese, sour cream and corn chips. This special runs for the whole of July, so alas you’ll have to wait until next year to get your hands on one. They also do a hands-free chilli dog eating competition to launch the festivities, so sign up if you think you’ve got what it takes to be a true chilli do champ! #foodloosetours #foodtour #perth #tasteperth #food #foodie # #foodtravel #instafood #foodstagram #feedfeed #comfortfood #yummy #nomnom #weekend #cheers #bartender #perthisok #perthlife #australia #perthfood #pertheats #westernaustralia #perthtodo #perthcity #perthpop #perthfoodie #foodporn #hotdogs #sausage #hotdog

Have you ever tried real, authentic Spanish sherry? It’s a lot different to the flagon of sickly sweet Harvey’s Bristol Cream that your grandmother might have broken out at Christmas time! While it might look like white wine, dry sherry is all about a beautiful mixture of nuttiness, saltiness and a slight funkiness. Join us on our City Secrets Foodie Adventure and we’ll show you where you can get some amazing sherry right here in Perth. If you’re keen you can even take part in a guided tasting (while eating some delicious tapas).
