A fresh Asian twist on fish and chips.

“For many years the beaches on the north coast of Cornwall were patrolled by Australian lifeguards, originally because they had the surf life-saving skills that were unfamiliar to the locals. For me, this meant many summers of friendship with pleasant Australians, all of whom seemed to be sunny and optimistic. Well, you would be, wouldn’t you, with a summer in Cornwall and lots of locals finding you irresistible? One such lifeguard was Rudy, who used to return year after year. Everyone was extremely fond of him – so much so that we filmed a little sequence about a trip he’d made to Ensenada on the Baja California coast, where they made fabulous fish tacos. We cooked some on the beach in Cornwall by the lifeguard hut, and Rudy took Chalky, my Jack Russell, out for a little surfing lesson. Sadly, when back in Australia five years later, Rudy died of cancer and I always thought that one day I’d get to Ensenada, find the tacos and maybe get the film company to show the early film and me standing on the beach with the taco in memory. That’s how it happened, and this is the recipe” - Rick Stein.

In Bali "there’s a balance between raw and cooked, sweet and sour,” says chef Geoff Lindsay, whose restaurant Saigon Street is doing well on the island. “There was nothing like it here with that lighter, fresher style as well as being fresh produce driven, which is what Bali’s all about as well.” These crispy rice fried prawns are the epitome of that style and taste.
