A Facebook Update In Real Life

This was pretty funny! But it makes Facebook look like the bad guy rather than the user. ;)

What are you reading now?

This is my new book I am reading, after finishing my last book, Why Italians love to cook. Just love immersing myself in my #italiancooking heritage.

P.s. Yes I read most of my cooking books cover to cover to understand what the author is wanting the reader to feel. Helps with my working progress book. Drink regularly from good books, especially the bible.

 +Jake Croston +Chef Dennis Littley +Larry Fournillier can we relate to this perfect piece of literature?

It's a Chef's Life ....

What you can expect from making a living in a professional kitchen:

1 You'll almost always have open wounds on your hands and arms.

2 You'll never meet new people because your social life deteriorates into non-existence.

3 You'll find it hard to start relationships because alone time will become a precious thing.

4 You'll lose your social skills.

5 Your sense of humor will degrade into the politically incorrect and socially unacceptable

6 You'll eventually start swearing like a sailor and you won't even notice yourself doing it.

7 You'll turn into an anorak/monomaniac and always turn all conversations back to food.

What’s in your fridge?

This has to be the best question I get asked of from friends when I randomly arrive at their house.  They say “ Oh Adam you can cook dinner then!” My reply is always “Ok, what’s in your fridge? “ 


It’s so amazing to see what people keep in their fridge. You don’t always have to go shopping to make a super meal. I had this happen to me a while ago, when I travelled back to Australia after being in Florida for a few months with a client. I decided to meet up with an old friend and we went back to his house for dinner. I got the question of cook dinner please? But we have to go shopping first; I don’t have much at home. So I did the, lets see what the fridge has. 

I did my scans of the fridge and found, half a piece of fennel; some pumpkin pieces some pieces of meat, butter and some tomatoes. So I already looked to thepantry and found som... more »

Who loves shopping for fresh ingredients at the local markets?

There is something special I feel every time I head off to the market to buy some deliciously fresh ingredients. Hearing the fruit and vegetable vendors tendering for your attention to let you know they have the best produce. The other shoppers walking around with their little trolleys looking for the best and freshest produce to take home. I just feel like a child in a candy store when I think of these experiences. 

I constantly enjoy the thrill of fresh market shopping around the world, and it never gets boring. But one thing can become a little painful, the huge amount of people traffic and locations of everything, which can become very stressful! 

But rest assure, I do have a simple system that I am happy to share which makes it so much easier to negotiate and depart with the best and freshesti... more »

What are your favourite biscuits? Chocolate chip? Oatmeal? Chewy caramel?

Well I am sure you know that I am a self confessed freak of anything almond based! Italian Almond biscuits are my all time weakness! The soft chewy centre with the almond burst and the outside crust to finish it off. Yummy. 

So tell me what is your favourite biscuit and how do you prefer there made?

Here is one of my top 5 biscuits recipe Italian orange and Almond http://www.iamchefadam.com/2013/04/02/italian-gluten-free-orange-and-almond-biscuits/. 

The crisp outside and the chewy burst of orange and sultana with almond are to die for! 

I hope you enjoy this recipe and look forward to knowing your choice of biscuit indulgence. 

All the best

What is the best food critic compliment you have ever received from a meal you prepared? Or what is your best food critic compliment you have given?

I just had one of the best compliment ever regarding my ciabatta bread!

A friend who is working in Australia shared Easter lunch with us and he said my bread tasted exactly like the bakery next to his house in Sardinia. Wow I feel very happy and excited I got such a great approval from a very fussy Italian bread critic!

Happy Easter all.

Do you remember this dynamic duo?

Its been a while since I pulled out these Italian records, but this song reminds me of being at my Nonna's house watching the San Remo festival. 

What a team Al Bano and Romina powers. 

Such warm memories.

Have you ever made Gnocchi?

What was the results? 

Success or lots of crying? 

Well this is holy grail of Italian cooking, the humble Potato dumpling named Gnocchi.

I know there are many versions of the classic and all just as good as the next, but for me I learnt this from my Nonna Rosa and she learnt it from her mum and so the generations on.

Well in part 3 of 4 my Nonna Rosa who shows us her magical recipe and method to make her delicious Italian delights. I could go a plate right now, but I just got back from the gym.
