OXO Chef in Residence Danielle Alvarez — chef, author and culinary director of the private event spaces at the Sydney Opera House — and Gourmet Traveller’s senior food editor Maxwell Adey have created a collection of their favourite recipes to cook this autumn. Alvarez brings her most loved home recipes — silky potato gnocchi, shaved fennel and radicchio salad and the chicken cutlets she’s made a hundred times. Adey adds the dishes he keeps returning to when the weather turns. Together, this is the definitive autumn table from a burnished plum and blackberry crostata to a golden tartiflette and a barramundi that rivals your favourite bistro. The right techniques and tools, combined with seasonal ingredients can make cooking impressive food simple.
“This is a dish I’ve probably made a hundred times at home, it’s one of my favourites and a total crowd pleaser!” says Danielle Alvarez
“It’s sweet, salty, a little bit tangy and little bit bitter for the radicchio, but all in all together it balances beautifully. I think you’re going to love it!” says Danielle Alvarez
“You’re not going to believe how easy and delicious these little fluffy potato pillows are going to be!” says Danielle Alvarez
“It’s warming, it’s comforting, it’s delicious and it’s easy to make – you’re going to want to curl up with a cup of tea with this one!” says Danielle Alvarez
