buy your tarantino knife block

When I blogged about this cool knife block it was just a prototype… well they’re now in production and we have 5 sets coming this week. They also include the full set of knives that you see in the picture. For safety I’m told that the knives actually have a clear plastic cover over each blade but you can remove that and get that real Quentin Tarantino knife-block look.

At $155, the price is not too bad when you consider that you get a set of knives with this funky knife block. Now available in the Cooking School shop.

Katrina’s recipes from TVs ‘Escape with ET’

Katrina, one of our cooking school chefs, does a weekly cooking segment for the Spirit House on ‘Escape with ET’ which shows on channel 9. I found the recipes for each episode on ETs website and because it’s a fishing show, they’re all to do with fish. All these recipes are for the BBQ and are quick and easy. Here are just some of the recipes she’s presented on TV:
BARBECUED SPANISH MACKEREL WITH GRILLED TOMATOES AND AVOCADO SALSA
GRILLED FISH BURGER WITH SAMSON FISH
SPANISH MACKEREL WITH FRESH TOMATO AND ANCHOVY BUTTER
MOROCCAN SALAD OF BARBECUED NANNYGAI
MAHI MAHI WITH TOMATO AND CHICKPEA SAUCE
CHINESE STEAMED PEARL PERCH WITH GINGER AND SHALLOT
PARMESAN CRUMBED TREVALLY ‘FISH FINGERS’
PEPPER CRUSTED TUNA WITH AVOCADO AND PICKLED GINGER

The reason why the fish is always on the menu

Fran Boyd emailed us the picture above to explain that she sent it to some friends of hers and, being fish-lovers I guess, they were so impressed that they made a booking to the restaurant. Interestingly the crispy fish in the photo has been on the menu since day one… and with good reason: people talk about it. More interesting than that is it’s the easiest dish to make: especially when you use the Spirit House Tamarind-Chilli Sauce which is available from your nearest Spirit House stockist.
