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.
Wagyu Hamburger Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Australian cooking class inspired by Matt Moran!
