Above is a Tataki of Marlborough Sounds salmon with a sweet soya glaze, avocado oil and micro leaves, this dish was designed as a starter for a Pacific Rim inspired evening for a great group of people from Air New Zealand.
The design of the dish had to reflect the togetherness of the Pacific Rim , while also incorporating local sourced produce. The Marlborough Sounds salmon was the primary ingredient to achieve this brief.

The dish of Pan-roasted market fish, cauliflower cream, chorizo salsa and prawn was created for a hens party evening, the brief was Mediterranean influence, elegant and simple.
The happy couple where to be married in Spain and honeymoon around the Mediterranean. The bride requested a dish that reflected this at her hen party.
All ingredients with the exception of the prawn where locally sourced.

Honey and Sesame glazed Kumara fries was created as a design exercise for part of my BCA I am studying at the Food Design Institute at the Otago Polytechnic. The brief was to design and produce a potato dish to reflect your food values and philosophies.
The dish was inspired by my time in Japan combining the two cultures. Using fresh local ingredients and creating food from the heart to nourish.
The Good Morning Show
I have appeared on the Good Morning Show on Television One several times over the past couple of years. I have enjoyed this as it given me the opportunity to show NZ the delights of seafood and the ways in which I like to prepare it.
I shared this experience with my good friend, Chef Colin Doyle, please click on the links below to view.
