The Return of the CHEF-EXPLORER
The Return of the Chef-Explorer</strong>
I’m Back!
OK, ok I know I have not been a great Blogger or Blagger for that matter. I take on too much, and I have to admit that I have been working, partying and travelling too hard in the last 2 months! The reason being that I have just reached the milestone that is 50 years young! So, I have out and about Exploring the delights of Bali, Portugal and Spain, to update my cultural knowledge don’t ya know. Well somebody has to do it!
So now a more realistic Murphy will deliver a monthly blog regarding the adventures of the ‘Chef Explorer’ which will be posted at random as the month unfolds. Watch out for Travel Tips & links, Life Musings, Recipes, Food and Nutritional Tips, Philosophical observations, Life Musings (have I said that already?), Culture, Music, Sport and whatever mad ideas come to mind! “Oh No!”says Mrs Murphy,
“Do you really want to inflict them on the world..,? Yes, why not, the world is mad enough. I assure you, they will be informative and if ya love to travel, cook, explore culture and question a lot, then I’m your man!
On the MENU in the next few Blogs are:
UBUD in BALI, with me Murphy Clan exploring the Hidden Bali and a Cuisine that NEVER failed to deliver! So much so, I had to put myself on a Balinese Cooking Course! Yum!
Back to EUROPE, to Porto, one of the most beautiful Cities I have ever explored and an old mate school reunion, that proves old friendships never die!
I’m Back!

2 tsp salt
Coarsely ground pepper
1 tsp dried or fresh thyme
Method

• Whisk flour and cold milk together in a pan, heat up while whisking and boil through. Take the pan of the heat and cool down a bit.
• Stir in liver mixture and then the eggs. Stir well. Add salt pepper and thyme.
• Pour the mixture in an ovenproof dish. Bake in the oven in bain mari at 175c. Cooking time depends on the size of the dish. ¾ hour -1 ½ hour.

Handy tip.. The leverpostej can also be frozen before it is baked. You then just take it out of the freezer and bake it.
