| Many Australians are reporting that restaurants have become unaffordable. With the cost of living crisis seeing the price of main dishes commonly spiking to more than $50 each, dining out is not feasible for many. But rather than giving up great eating, many are opting to cook better, using the best ingredients to make restaurant-style food at home. This week our contributing chef Lennox Hastie presents a John Dory dish that would be fit for any home "restaurant". John Dory is a lovely fish with beautiful flavour and under Lennox's instructions you can make something wonderful for your table without having to fork out for a restaurant meal. It's also an amazingly simple dish and easy to achieve. Ellie Bouhadana 's new cookbook Ellie's Table is a wonderful collection of recipes from the heart and from the memory. Ellie comes from a large Jewish family who have passed down culinary traditions for centuries, often without a recipe recorded on paper. This week she offers some of her all-time favourites, including a simple but incredibly delicious lamb chops recipe, and a wonderful chicken dish with couscous olives, a classic combination. Happy cooking. |
