Eating out at your favourite restaurant (again and again).

Brendon and Melissa

Cooking - Brendon's first attempt at carbonara and my first attempt at shucking fresh oysters with a butter knife.

Learn from our mistakes;

• Don't use thickened cream unless you want your carbonara sauce very, very think and very, very rich.
• Use a tea towel or protective gloves when shucking oysters. Even better, a proper shucking knife!
