Mini burgers are great to feed a hungry hoard of kids at birthday parties, but equally great for an easy night’s dinner.
Like tacos and san choy bau my kids like constructing their own burgers. I find that if they have a part in making the meal they are more likely to happily eat it. They also get to choose what type of hamburger they’d like tonight. A Hawaiian special or a Cheeseburger deluxe.

The weird and wonderful combinations can be influenced by half-remembered references from family, friends, chefs or television characters. Some of these sandwiches gain traction, and can then be ordered around the world by name only. I think that means the sandwich has hit the big time! Read more…
Now summer has passed, it means my contribution to family meals moves from the BBQ outside to the oven inside, and each Sunday for the next 5 months, I’ll be cooking a roast dinner. As a child, this was a regular Sunday affair and I remain keen to keep the tradition going with my children.
