Peter Rowsthorn Q and A
Favourite place to travel?
Any part of Australia’s coastline.
Favourite dish to cook?
Rack of lamb with a chilli and mint salsa.
Favourite dessert to eat?
Chocolate ripple cake.
Sweet or savoury?
Savoury.
How do you like your eggs?
I asked my wife she said "unfertilized thanks darling, four kids is enough!"
Favourite ingredient and why?
Lemon. I just love the beautiful clean zing!
What dish would be the way to your heart?
My wife’s minty chops and roasted potatoes.
What’s your favourite tune to cook to?
"Honeymoon Is Over" by The Cruel Sea
What’s the first meal you remember cooking and was it a success or a disaster?
Spag Bol. Not a bad effort, a bit of pan burnage, nothing that a good soak for three, four days didn't fix. No-one barfed or died so all-in-all a good result.
Who do you cook for the most?
Family.
What three ingredients would you take with you to a desert island and what would you cook with them?
Pasta, garlic, olive oil. I’d cook those ingredients and anything I found on the island. Hopefully I’d find a pot and pan in my travels
If you were having any three people, alive or dead, over for dinner, who would they be and what would you cook for them?
Bob Marley, Cheech and Chong. I believe a chocolate ripple cake would be in order.
