Serendip: A Sri Lankan Journey
Event 47		print Print This Page
THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT

One of the beautiful things about Sri Lankans and their food is that they can rarely agree on the details of any recipe as most are handed down through generations and have a special preparation method and flavour. Join acclaimed Flying Fish chef Peter Kuruvita as he shares his memories of a childhood in Sri Lanka and enjoy traditional cuisine from his book, Serendip.

PETER KURUVITA (LOCAL)
PETER KURUVITA was born in London to an Austrian mother and Sri Lankan father. He spent much of his childhood in Sri Lanka, enjoying time spent assisting his grandmother in the kitchen. His teenage years in Australia led to a career as a chef. Peter worked in prestigious restaurants in London, the USA, Fiji, Bali, Lord Howe and Hayman Islands before returning to Sydney to establish Flying Fish restaurant at Pyrmont. Peter’s passion for Sri Lankan cuisine is evident in Serendip, his collection of traditional recipes drawn from his family’s kitchens as well as his travels to various regions of the island nation.
