I spent most of my career working with seafood while running Australia’s largest recreational cooking school, Sydney Seafood School at Sydney Fish Market. I love the quality and diversity of Australian seafood and I’ve learnt a bit about preparing it from my chef friends over the years, we even wrote a book on it! Here are some of my favourite seafood recipes.
Aussie Solomon Gundy Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Caribbean cooking class inspired by Paul Carmichael! Solomon Gundy is a classic Jamaican spread (also called solomon-a-gundy) made from heavily salted herring so strongly smoked that the flesh turns a reddish brown (thus ‘red herrings’).

Open Filo Sandwich with Anchovy Sauce Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Greek cooking class Inspired by Janni Kyritsis! This simple filo pastry recipe is inspired by one of my favourite starters from Janni Kyritsis at MG Garage (see the video below for another of Janni’s filo classics). I love the way he pressed […]

This deliciously versatile potato & fontina tart can be vegetarian, but potatoes and smoked fish are such natural partners that I like to add hot-smoked trout or eel. If Fontina’s not available, use […]
Vitello Tonnato Join my food & wine tour to Italy to discover more Italian regional specialties! This elegant Italian version of surf and turf hails from the north-western region of Piedmont. It is delicious, though when prepared correctly not particularly attractive, and its English description of ‘poached veal in tuna mayonnaise’ doesn’t do it justice […]
Pissaladière Like Pissaladière? You’ll love my online French cooking class featuring the food of Provence! Pissaladière is a classic dish from the city of Nice and is often referred to as Niçoise pizza. Its thin bread base is similar to focaccia and the sweetness of the caramelised onions contrasts beautifully with the salty anchovies and […]

This classic dish of orecchiette with broccoli and anchovies hails from Puglia and is also popular in neighbouring Basilicata.
