Dishes that have brought me pleasure and whose memory I treasure. The dishes that have been cooked for me by friends, my favourites from the many I have cooked in restaurants I have worked in, the ones I have eaten at other restaurants, and also the dishes I cook in my restaurant, the South Bank Surf Club. I hope these recipes bring you pleasure when cooking, eating and sharing food!’ Ben O’Donoghue Chef, restaurateur and television personality Ben O’Donoghue loves nothing more than cooking fresh, simple food for his family and friends. In At Home with Ben, the follow up to his hugely successful cookbook Outdoor, Ben shares his favourite recipes from twenty-three years of cooking at home and in restaurants in Australia and the UK. With a focus on shared food, seasonal ingredients and clean, vibrant flavours, these dishes are for everyone and every occasion. Dishes such as Caramelised Miso Beef and Slow-Roasted Duck with Sage and Ginger feed the family with a twist, while Crab and Rocket Linguini and Chilli Mussels can be rustled up in a flash. If you want to impress without the fuss, try some of the dishes in the Dinner Party Show Stoppers chapter; Vanilla and Vodka Cured Trout to start perhaps, followed by a Roasted Rack of Veal and if your guests have any room left, how about the Classic Chocolate Fondant?
