Book Review 8 November 2010

The Chef and I is a self-published seafood cookbook from Executive Chef Paul Leete, from Sails Restaurant in Noosa, and mum, self taught cook and Queensland Fisheries Advocate, Vicki Brown. Collectively this twosome has produced an approachable and easy going selection of recipes, much like the coastal towns they live in.

Here seafood is most definitely the hero, with a strong focus on fresh produce and simple, clean flavours. You’ll find everything from dishes to cook during the week, alfresco recipes for the barbeque, through to inspiration for entertaining when you want to step it up a notch. There is also a range of marinades and side dishes to choose from as well, so yes it's all here.

With summer just around the corner, the ‘Oysters with Ruby Grapefruit and Gin’ and the ‘Spanner Crab Sandwiches’ were our personal favourites, perfect for a picnic or a party.  Read the full review here
