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.
Orange, Almond & Date Salad Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Middle Eastern cooking class inspired by Michael Rantissi! Once you discover how easy it is to segment an orange (see video below), you’ll be making this simple dessert regularly. Use vivid Persian pistachio slivers instead of almonds if you like (no need to […]
Shallot Pancakes Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Asian home cooking class inspired by Cheong Liew! Shallot pancakes are northern Chinese snacks that are irresistibly moreish and a great way to use up the green onion tops that so often end up in the bin.

Pomegranate Sorbet Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Italian cooking class featuring the food of Sardinia!

Caramelised Baked Strawberries Like this recipe? You’ll love my online cooking class Inspired by Janni Kyritsis! https://youtu.be/L4SAqj0X5So This easy dessert of baked strawberries is inspired by one my friend Janni Kyritsis taught me when we wrote Wild Weed Pie together.

Saffron Poached Pears Like this recipe? You’ll love my online cooking class Inspired by Janni Kyritsis! I love the simplicity of these saffron poached pears that chef Janni Kyritsis taught me to make many years ago.
