Darwin day 1




Walking to work in the morning 27 in the shade!

I have been flown to Darwin for an all expenses paid trip to cook at the V8 Supercars. I hada fairly relaxed morning, an induction of the kitchen in the casino where were doing all the preparation. Whilst waiting for the function sous chef to start work I went to the canteen for a hot meal and refreshments. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided and also there's compulsory smokos every couple of hours (go the unions). We ended up doing 7 hrs with but one smoko. Prepped the likes of, 200kg onions, boxes and boxes of tomato, cucumber, marinated 50kg lots of olives, dalmadis, artichokes, coleslaw and also made 60l of satay sauce in a dodgy brat pan.
Presently at the motel it's 7pm and don't have to work for another 17 hours. What am I going to do?

They all made their way into the blender and turned into cookie crumbs. then into the Hobart with some softened butter, sugar flour a cup of water and became the base to some pretty snazzy chestnut chocolate ricotta and honey cheesecakes. the actual recipe for the base will always remain a mystery but i quickly jotted down the cheese part down for future reference, enter iota carrageenan , aka irish moss. This enabled me to set the che
