The Best Scrambled Eggs in the World

The Best Scrambled Eggs in the World

Published by Stephen Bentley on September 2, 2015

“These are the best scrambled eggs in the world” Source: Let Ian McKellen Teach You How to Make Scrambled Eggs | TIME Sorry Sir Ian I beg to differ! The best scrambled eggs in the world are in fact made by me! Let me tell you I come from a long line of culinary geniuses. My mother and grandmother were two ordinary Lancashire lasses who made some of the best home made food ever known to mankind. They could bake bread and cakes as well as serve up a dish from simple ingredients that was fit for a king. My mouth salivates now thinking of their Lancashire hotpots. My brother inherited the cooking genes. He was Executive Chef at the Royal Bank of Canada in…

Here’s How McDonald’s Makes Its French Fries

Published by Stephen Bentley on August 1, 2015

Potatoes, maybe? Source: Here’s How McDonald’s Makes Its French Fries | TIME How I Make Mine 🙂 This article is an interesting insight into how McDonald’s makes its french fries. And yes, they really are made from potatoes! Botsy, our pet name for our 4 year old boy, loves fries. I really must make him some homemade fries just like I used to make back in the UK. Here is how I used to do them: Take one Maris Piper variety potato, the best variety for fries – or chips as we call them in the UK, and peel it. Now I like chunky fries, so cut the peeled potato into chunky size portions. Give them a good wash in clean water then pop your…

Sugar Beach, Sipalay, Negros Island

Sugar Beach, Sipalay, Negros Island

Published by Stephen Bentley on July 30, 2015

Sugar Beach is near to the town of Sipalay on Negros Island, Western Visayas, Philippines. According to Google there are just six resorts on the beach. Sugar Beach is not on the list of most famous beaches in the Philippines but it should be! Zabrina and myself drove there back in early June 2015. It is about 3 ½ hours actual driving time from Bacolod City. It took us about 5 hours in total as we stopped at Hinigaran on the way to stretch the legs and pop in to Mila’s resto. It is famous for its buko pie, a coconut filling in a light pastry. We had to have one each, plus one of their delicious chicken pies. All washed down with a native…
