“Rice paper rolls are all about the herbs. I don’t think people use enough herbs when making them at home. I sometimes get lazy, and instead of cooking prawns and pork, I’ll buy a supermarket roast chook, shred it and sub that in instead. I also like to let people roll their own rolls at the table.” – Khanh Ong
“Classic flavours with a little twist of fermented chilli will make this dish a hit at any dinner table. People need to eat more shellfish in general. Oysters, shellfish, clams: all of those are filters of the sea and such a great source of protein. And the farmers, they’re amazing at what they do, and take care of the area they’re in.” – Jason Staudt

“We grow about 10 or 15 different varieties (of heirloom tomatoes), but the one I would use most is the Santorini. It’s a lovely deep red tomato that has a really nice, sweet flavour.”
“I grew up on a farm where we raised sheep, so I’ve cooked and eaten nearly every cut of lamb there is. Rump has a stronger flavour than rack or fillet, and a slightly chewier texture. Paired with a sweet pea salad and mint salsa, it really shines.” – Matt Moran.
“I’ve worked in Fiji on and off for many years, and can’t get past my love for a buttery slab of yellowfin tuna. We have access to great seafood in the Northern Rivers, and this dish works well with a variety of fish.”
“Bo tai chanh is a super-vibrant and deliciously simple beef salad that’s cooked using the acidity in limes. The meat changes from red to light pink in the fridge as the garlic and fresh lime begin to coat the fillet. Combined with lightly pickled veg and a herbaceous salad, and finished with peanuts and nutty shallots on top of a prawn cracker, it’s a playground of texture and flavour. We usually serve this with different types of prawn crackers or cassava crackers. Grab some salad and place it on the cracker and have a bite.” – Khanh Ong.

While meat can be a part of a healthy diet, not all sources are created equal. The leanest and healthiest meats to eat include poultry, pork, fish, and seafood. Eating a balanced diet is one of the keys to a healthy lifestyle, which means choosing various foods from different food groups, like proteins.
“It's not surprising that the Mediterranean diet ranked number one,” says Jackie Newgent , a registered dietitian, Forbes Health Advisory Board member and panelist for our best diets ranking. “First, it's not a 'diet' as we have come to think of diets; it's a lifestyle.
Think salads, sandwiches, and wraps. If that feels intimidating, just throw a bunch of stuff in a bowl (like canned beans, canned veggies, shredded cheese) and call it a day. Or you can put a bunch of snacks, dips, and other small bites on a plate and call it charcuterie.
