A CULINARY TOUR AROUND THE WORLD

FOOD STYLING, STUDIO CD DESIGNClaire Delmar

International travel might be off the cards for now, but that doesn't mean we can't travel via our appetites, so we've dug out some favourite recipes from our Gourmet Traveller archives to give you some inspiration. Take your tastebuds on a culinary tour across the globe – all without leaving home.

All recipes shot for Gourmet Traveller magazine. Food editors Emma Knowles and Lisa Featherby. Photography by Ben Dearnley, William Meppem, Chris Chen and Alicia Taylor. Styling by STUDIO CD.


VIETNAMESE INSPIRED
CHICKEN AND RICE NOODLE SALAD

A hot and sour dressing adds a sweet and spicy hit to this classic combination of grilled chicken, aromatic herbs and rice noodles.


INDONESIAN INSPIRED
CHICKEN SATAY

Fire up the grill and keep the good times rolling.


MEXICAN INSPIRED
PRAWN & AVOCADO WITH LIME

With creamy avocado and the zing of lime juice, this Mexican-ish prawn cocktail is perfect for the summer. Just add corn chips.


MALAYSIAN INSPIRED
ASAM LAKSA

The curry laksa may be better known, but asam laksa is a breed all its own:
sour, sweet and rich with fish.


ITALIAN INSPIRED
SPAGHETTONI CON CACIO E PEPE

You've seen this Roman pasta dish all over social media. Now, find out its origins and try your hand at the deceptively simple recipe.


BRITTISH INSPIRED
APPLE CARAMEL SPONGE PUDDING

Pillowy sponge, the unbeatable combination of warm apple and caramel, plus a lick of brandy. What's not to love?


FRENCH INSPIRED
BAKED CHOCOLATE FUDGE PUDDINGS

Hot, fudgy chocolate puddings studded with the crunch of cacao nibs are heaven in a bowl, and even more so when you discover the hidden pocket of molten chocolate.


A STYLING STORY IN GOURMET TRAVELLER

The March 2019 Gourmet Traveller spread “Pick Up Sticks” features fresh and brightly coloured skewer recipes from Lisa Featherby.

With the food prepared by Peta Dent, photography by Ben Dearnley and styling by Studio Delmar the finished article pops with intensity and flavour.

 A background of jet black and charcoaled timber sets the scene with layers of hand formed plates and bowls as the foods prop. Dark plateware blends into the background and creates a striking splash of colour through the turmeric yellows and bright green leaves of the Asian inspired recipes.

Where the food isn’t as vibrant slabs of turquoise stone, natural terracotta or bold glazes, alongside props of coloured linen, add to the overall look and feel the article inspires.
