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.
