I sometimes serve steaks raw, but it's rare.

Steak tartare is an explosion of flavours. The hand-cut beefy mouthful is balanced out by the tang from capers and cornichons. And the crunch of the onions offsets the luxuriousness and umami of the egg yolk.

The bold flavours sizzle on the plate, challenging you to enjoy the decadence of haute cuisine as you spoon the offering onto crunchy baguette.

With this as a starter, you will surely turn on the grills.

As a point of difference, I dry brined the fillet with soya sauce, sous vide the egg yolks to make an ultra tasty yolk jam, and garnished it with fish roe.

Enjoy!

Krilling it on the barbie

Oh, Cod. This is asian claypot seafood black rice with flame broiled garlic prawns cooked over charcoal!

Like a paella, a properly done claypot rice has a crusty and tasty soccarat or under crust, with a layer of tasty succulent Chinese food on top. Unlike paella which is meant to be shared, you typically have the entire claypot and can be a little shellfish as you enjoy it.

To use the claypot, you need to first soak it, season it, and then bring it up to temp slowly. It cooks differently from your pots, and you'll be asking yourself how it scampi this hot for so long. You can of course use it on your stove, but I chuck mine directly onto charcoal so that the aroma accompanies the claypot to your table. It's similar to what you get when wanky restaurants include a klosh with cold smoke over your dish.

At the end, I tip the prawns onto the black rice to steam, and then blowtorch and flame blast the little prawn stars until I was spent.

@brainchildballwa is a fundraising affair to support medical research and care for children with cancer. Hats off to my friend @dollopbyvicki for her leading this work here in Western Australia. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening with @fonfonpalida and @chung_bubba.

It was a fun night with people barely behaving at our table. Hope I didn't alienate the sponsors sitting with us! Ha! They loved the side entertainment! taken in Crown Towers Ballroom by @the.thyme.is.cumin

Oh, Cod. I'm in heaven.

No wonder Brazil is hooked on its favourite unofficial National dish - Moqueca!!!

Moqueca is a light coconut seafood curry. An elegantly reduced seafood stock bathes slow cooked vegetables, and pieces of fish are gently coddled until just tender. Right at the end, I smooth the roiling stew with coconut cream. And when that ultra special red dende palm oil lands in my lap, that garnishes the top of the stew. The aroma of the tropics is vibrant and alive on the palate ... a total flavour bomb.

The stew is a deceptively simple offering, but its primal effect is unmistakable. My guests are about to head into a food korma.

Let me raise a glass of Cachaça to my Brazilian friends who inspire me: @rafaelacarneirochef @helbertpaolli @mello_gil_

The lovely provisions are from @seafreshclaremont

Gimme more! Mo' moqueca!

There once was a grill so divine,
Where chicken and scallions align,
With tare so sweet,
It's the ultimate treat,
One bite, and you’ll be hooked to the brine!

With each bite, you’ll be feeling just fine,
A taste that’s truly one of a kind.
From the first to the last,
Each skewer’s a blast,
These flavours are nothing short of divine!

Pair it with rice, or miso to dine,
Or maybe a cold beer, simply sublime.
So gather around,
Uncle's yakitori will astound,
This feast is where taste buds truly shine!

Thaim pho salad!

This is a lovely way to present a salad, with all the zesty, sweet-sour flavours of Asia.

The dressing includes bird's eye chilli, coriander, fish sauce, and lime juice. This salad I've presented has tomato, onion, lettuce leaves, and coriander. And of course if you have no dietaries, you can thai the whole thing up with some crunchy peanuts.

Pho the beef, I seared it off, made sure there's a crust to it, and sliced it thinly. When you eat this, you know it was cooked with lots of larb.

Cooks will appreciate that while there's some prep, not a lot of wok went into this.

Go ahead and Tuk Tuk in!

How to supersize a nacho chip ...

Uncle gonna teach you how to raise your wrap with a birria meat stew.

Slow cook the beef with guajillo peppers, and elote love.

Stuff the meaty and cheesy goodness into soft tacos, dip that back into the stew. Fry until crispy on the outside and soft and molten on the inside.

Finely diced onions and cilantro garnish the broth.

This is all churro need. Now you take the birria taco, dip it, and pick up some of the onions.

Shell yeah!

Serving steaks up to guests, there's always that fear you're going to butcher it.

With sous vide however, it'll not be well done, it'll be excellent. Low-Temp Long-Time cooking needs for the meat to be cooked in a vacuum. This particular dish was charcoal seared after, to give it that extra seasoning you don't typically have at home.

Not everyone enjoys it this way. Reverse sear for instance, gets a lovely crust on. And a sous vide steak 'blooms' redder, which makes it appear rarer than from other methods of cooking. Whatever you prefer, don't be cowed - you can't beat the consistency and the juiciness. Plus, the elegant mouthfeel you get is a cut above the rest.

Served with a butter shallot and garlic sauce. Or blowtorch that century egg compound butter on. Steak it however you like!

Before the weather got chili, I headed to my favourite taqueria located at Canning Vale Sunday Markets.

@lataqueria_mexicanway serves a mind-blowing quesabirria taco. It is so good I can't keep it under wraps.

Quesabirria Taco features a slow cooked beef filling marinated with guajillo chili, fried in a soft corn taco with Oaxaca cheese until the outside is crispy, and the inside, molten. You dip this like a super-sized nacho in the beef consommé broth.

There's nothing flat about this taco ...

... and for the love of Guac, order and pay for the beef broth - it is part of the [insert F-bomb here] amazing gustatory experience.

Chef and Master of the Carnitas Señora Glenda @vansebas has been providing @the.thyme.is.cumin a tour of Mexican cuisine in Perth over the last 4 years. It's been a fiesta of epic flavours, and I carne wait for it to be picked up by @wagoodfoodguide.

Don't pasta up this chance to taste authentic!
