Watch out, Ratatouille! Here comes Chef Bird

The first honest money I ever earned was in my parent's kitchen over 50 years ago. Their restaurant was in the Good Food Guide right from the first edition.

I'm still trying to cook - this is the salmonella king at work in Manly last Sunday, before catching the plane to Perth. Linguine alla Vongole e Cozze - more or less - with some superb 5 year old unoaked Chardonnay from Victoria, supplied by my old friend John Hancock. Nobody died yet, as far as I know.

Maybe I should stick to punctuation.
