Guest blog..... Pete!!!!

Pete can cook two things really well, barbequed prawns and steak! This steak was an old favourite that he used to cook me when we lived in Melbourne and procured  Ken, the barbie! Its been a long time between steaks however, so I was thrilled to have it on the menu for tonight! My first blog in London, and it's not even my cooking!!! I did sous chef however, and I like to think that over the 12 years, my cooking has rubbed off somehow, so I won't be be super jealous to blog someone else's masterpiece!!!

The picture really does tell a thousand words, the layers are as follows:

Base layer: Mashed butternut pumpkin and sweet potato (yams)
Layer 1: Chargrilled capsicum (peppers) and onion, blended into a chunky mash
Layer 2: STEAK!!!
Top layer: Caramelised onion and beetroot, with "a splash of red wine" (said with a very Italian pronounciation, read: hand gestures!!)
Surrounded by fresh rocket (salad greens of some sort for my American friends (wouldn't want you to spend weeks wondering what this "rocket" is that everyone is talking about!).

Absolutely delish Pete! Thanks for cooking me dinner!!!!!!!!
