Inspirations when developing recipes:

My mum, aunts and grandma are my greatest inspiration. I try to keep them in mind when I write new recipes, because every day they cook fabulous and wholesome meals, using ingredients mostly from the cupboard with fresh and in-season vegetables.

Chef Tips:

1. Open up to new flavors. There are many cuisines, cultures and communities that have put plants at the center of their tables for centuries with delicious results, like India, for example. 

2. Buy the best vegetables you can afford and those that are in season. You can really taste the difference, and it feels like a total joy eating something when nature says it’s right.

3. Buy the ingredients I’ve suggested above—miso, gochujang and kimchi—to play around with; they can transform vegetables into meals very easily.

Such a luxurious dish requires a lot of effort to prepare it, especially if it concerns Australia, because the choice of products here, though large, but some of them are quite expensive, especially if the dish concerns imported.
