….is mum’s day, but today is the day we celebrate, treat and treasure them.

i helped kai cook sal a mum’s day breakfast in bed, her favourite of eggs benedict, with smoked salmon today.

last night i cooked some golden snapper fillets from a fish that sal had caught in her win in the women’s fishing comp, i did them crispy skin style with a bed of kumera mash and a tomato and cream reduction sauce.

earlier in the week we had a lovely lunch of roquette salad with croutons, prosciutto, poached egg and vinno cotta dressing. we also fired up the chargrill with a couple of scruptious porterhouse steaks which carved up like slicing through butter.

i also had a very interesting night earlier in the week when i went for drink with lirrwi tourism, with whom i will be working after june. they had various ‘talent’ in town for a shoot for tourism NT, and also had chef sean corkery visiting to help with menu planning for tours. sean is head chef at cafe sopra in sydney and a young man who is extremely passionate about his cooking, travel and life in general.

we had a great night talking about food and travel and hopefully when he comes up next we can find time to get out on the boat for some fishing and whip up a few culinary storms together!
