Italian Cabbage Salad
I do love a good Italian cabbage salad - more refined than a coleslaw and more punchy than your diet-friendly green salad; when laid on top of a thin bed of San Daniele prosciutto and mixed with reggiano, it definitely gives an instant wow factor (and cholesterol) to the start of your meal.

Lobster – three simple recipes
The Sydney fish markets had beautiful lobsters selling for $20 each. So we bought five of them – excessive much? Contrary to the current economic downturn, lobsters (actually they’re crayfish here) have been breeding like crazy – lowering the price of the usually expensive shellfish....

L’Etoile Restaurant
