G’day, folks!
Today I’m grilling a whole rack of lamb. There are many ways to do it, but my all times favorite – reverse searing until the “rose” doneness degree. How to do it? Keep on reading 🙂

Smoked bone-in leg of lamb, South African style…
To me, leg of lamb is a perfect entertainment dish… One leg usually is enough for 8 to 10 very hungry men, and it’s bloody impressive, you gotta admit that! 🙂 So today I give you my South African style marinade for lamb, in which the garlic and the ginger give the meat another dimension of taste and aroma.
Lulah Kebab – Armenian way to grill
Kebab is the most popular fire-roasted dish in the Middle East, Eastern Mediterranean and South Asia. There are hundreds of ways to prepare kebabs, as well as quite a few names for it, but essentially, they all mean the same – fire roasted meat on a skewer. So here’s the way they make it in Armenia – Lulah Kebab!
Grilled cheese-stuffed chicken breasts
This is one of the most tasty versions of stuffed chicken breasts I’ve tried. There is something in the combination of the chicken breast meat with cheese and bacon, that takes this dish one extra level higher. What’s even better – it is one of the simplest dishes as well!
Lamb pilaf, Uzbek style
Pilaf is a dish very widely popular in Middle East, mid-Asia, India… There are hundreds of versions, recipes and even names for this dish, but its essence stays the same – it is rice cooked with vegetables, spices and meat. Here’s my take on it, as I learned from a friend coming from the city of Fergana, in Uzbekistan.
Smoked spareribs with apple BBQ sauce

Steak is the most primal thing I know… It was the first thing the caveman made when he learned roasted meat is tastier than raw one. This time I grilled it the simplest way, and I want to share with you my four essential rules for a great steak!
Honey & orange smoked turkey pastrami – it ain’t gonna get healthier than that!
Hey folks!
It’s been a long time – work kept me busy and travelling, mainly in Austria, but here I am, shaking the dust off my smoker and bringing you one of the easiest and cost-effective recipes I know for a smoked turkey pastrami. The honey-orange glaze adds an extra layer of sweetness to this lightly savory meat, resulting in the most tasty pastrami I’ve tried since quite a long.
Smoked baby back ribs with sweet & hot pineapple BBQ glaze
It’s been quite long since I posted something. Main reason is we’re having a bit of a situation in Israel these days – some “unusual garbage” is falling on our heads, courtesy of our “cousins” from Gaza… But here I am, practically smoking under fire :)!
Last weekend I succeeded to lay my hands on those nice baby back ribs… Unfortunately, pork is not the most popular meat in Israel, and even where it is, baby backs are quite rare to find. But here I am, with 4 decent beautiful racks, which I was dying to get on my smoker.
“Drunk” chicken breasts – Scotch Whiskey brine
Well yeah, I’m a wee bit Scotch fan. Actually, there’s not even a single Irish or American whiskey in my bar – only Scotch single malts and couple of blends, like Ballantine’s and Johnny Walker. So for me pouring a shot or two of my favorite amber liquid into a sauce or a marinade was nothing but a matter of time. My first attempt was to add it to a brine, and what’s more natural to be brined than chicken breasts? Right!
