At the end of our visit to Port Douglas we had an early dinner at the Zinc Restaurant. This has been reviewed in a separate blog posting [http://aurorae-australis-borealis.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/some-precious-metal-at-zinc-port.html].
I cooked a couple of times whilst I was in Cairns. One night I made a batch of chilli con carne (without the chilli and with some Moroccan spices instead) [My standard recipe appears here: http://themadscientistcooks.blogspot.com.au/2010/06/mad-scientists-chocolate-chilli-con.html]. The leftovers were used as a base for a nachos another night, which was a great way to use it up. Like a lot of spicy dishes, the flavour does improve with standing overnight. Another night I rustled individual serves of Beef Wellington served with vegetables when my brother brought a couple of chunks of eye fillet out of the freezer. This was very well received, and here is a link to the recipe [http://themadscientistcooks.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/the-mad-scientists-brilliant-beef.html]
On the final night we were all together in Cairns we went out to dinner at Pesci's Seafood and Mediterranean Restaurant, which is part of the Pier complex on the waterfront near the city centre.
