Tales of a Tassie Chef

A site about Tasmania and its food, built by a Tasmanian chef. I was raised by a traditional forager, a man who knew how to survive and thrive without supermarkets. I have been told I am somewhat of an educated bogan, and I tend to agree. I hope you enjoy my flavours and find something that pleases you and your taste buds.

Ox tongue is one of the many ‘poor man’s cuts’ of meat that have gathered a distinctive renaissance of late.

This tongue was removed from a bulls head I attained a little while ago.

It is a relatively simple recipe, best served with cheese, condiments, and crackers.

I am a chef, father, and food blogger. I enjoy telling food stories from a more down to earth, realistic point of view. Being a chef sure has changed from the days of being a refuge for the misfit to the social proper giant it has become today. My writing is a form of therapy, and it gives me control over my own destiny. I am a volunteer with the tourism industry council of Tasmania, for which is an initiative started to help regular people become involved in promoting my beautiful home. I hope you enjoy my flavours 🤘
