Cook dishes from the Mediterranean regions of Southern Spain and France, Italy, Greece, Turkey and the Middle East, where people are passionate about the food they produce and eat.  There is such a variety of dishes made from sun-ripened fruit and vegetables, fresh herbs, seafood and meat, much like we produce here on the Sunshine Coast.  Savour the sunny flavours of Spain with Andalusian gazpacho; enjoy the French romance of Provencal prawns and the exotic spices of Morocco in spiced lentil, chick peas and pumpkin tagine.
