Sea bream crudo
Decanter|August 2024
Accented with the bright, lively flavours of blood orange and cumin seeds, this summery fish dish calls for an equally fresh and fruity dry white to wash it down and lift the palate

Sea bream crudo

Mediterra is a collection of my favourite recipes gathered over many years of travelling through the Mediterranean, from shore to shore and beyond to its islands – holidays, work or research, I’m there!

While the countries of the Mediterranean are varied and diverse, food and its culture are a common thread: the way of eating, sharing and revelling in the daily meal is an almost sacrosanct act; a passion and love for the produce and a focus on flavour, seasonality and simplicity.

This is a cuisine of the sun. A cuisine of fragrance and flavour: olive oil, fresh herbs, ripe seasonal tomatoes, juicy stone fruits and oozy figs, sizzling garlic, crushed spices aromatic from roasting, the perfumed zest of orange, lemon and bergamot, smoky grilled meats served with flatbreads to mop up the juices, and the freshest fish grilled over hot coals. This is the food that I love.
