The Stranded Chef is a culinary adventure through time and place, a coffee table cookbook, a life journey, a collection of short stories, photography and recipes from all around the world. 380 pages to delight your senses. Be inspired and join me on my journey.

Dive deeply into this feast of fine food, photographs and folk tales by The Stranded Chef living in one the most remote communities in the world—World Heritage listed Lord Howe Island—where he forages for mushrooms and free-dives for crayfish.

Stand in a vegetable garden with frost between your toes. Feel stranded, water up to your knees, in the engine room of a sinking super yacht. Breathe in the scenes of a slow boat down the Mekong River. Live on the edge near Everest.

  • “An inspiring, thoughtful and beautifully written cookbook... an ode to the importance of local produce and the strong ties between family, nostalgia and damn good food”
