Father and son team, Chris and Julian Parisi, are at Flemington Produce Markets every day as well as working with an extensive network of growers to source great fruit and vegetables. Here are some of my favourite recipes using Parisi fruit and veg.
Ginger & Green Onion Sauce Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Malaysian cooking class! For me this ginger and green onion sauce is what Hainanese chicken rice is all about (see video below). Best of all it’s super easy to make. You’ll need about 8 green onions for this recipe, perhaps 6 if they’re […]

Cialledda Fredda (Tomato & Bread Salad) Like this recipe? Join me on an Italian food & wine tour to discover more regional specialties! On my first visit to Basilicata, the staff at my hotel prepared this delicious tomato and bread salad for me one morning after they discovered I was interested in their regional cuisine. […]
Nyonya Vegetable Curry Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Singaporean cooking class! While the classic Nyonya curry is made with chicken and potatoes in a creamy coconut sauce, the same curry paste is just as delicious as the base for a Nyonya vegetable curry.

Cacik Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Turkish cooking class inspired by Somer Sivrioğlu! Yoghurt is a great accompaniment to anything fried as the acid cuts through the richness. I especially love it mixed with garlic and cucumber to make cacik (çaçık in Turkish, pronounced jajuk). Cacik is similar to Greek tzatziki except that […]

I’ve watched him cook for many hours and absorbed the mantra that the only way to ensure authentic Thai flavours is […]
Tzatziki Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Greek cooking class inspired by Janni Kyritsis! Yoghurt is served with just about everything in Greece and throughout the eastern Mediterranean – plain, drained as labne, or mixed with garlic and often cucumber. This combination is perhaps best known by its Greek name, tzatziki, while the Turks […]
Sabzi Khordan (Persian Fresh Herb Platter) Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Persian cooking class! Persian food reminds me of Vietnamese with its love of fresh herb platters served at every meal. In Iran it’s any combination of mint, parsley, coriander, dill, tarragon, basil, chives, green onions and radishes; other wild or seasonal greens […]
Maast-O Khiar (Persian Yogurt Dip) Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Persian cooking class! Yoghurt and rice are natural companions and, given that rice appears at virtually all Persian meals, so does yoghurt. At its simplest it’s a bowl of thick, tangy natural yoghurt, but it’s also often maast-o khiar, which is a little […]
