Christina Martin's Pickled Fish Recipe

As students of the Christina Martin School of Food and Wine we were exposed to many different cooking styles, and functions ranging from top-quality private home dinner parties and gourmet restaurant food; to deli combinations, in-store launches and cocktail parties - all very stimulating. We would make whatever the menu dictated, fill the clients serving dishes and they would return home for their dinner party for which, they led their guest to believe, they had spent the whole day preparing.

She assisted me in compiling my recipe book “Jackie Cameron at Home,” I couldn’t have managed without her with all the food preparations for the photo-shoots, and her wonderfully creative food styling, critical to meeting our deadlines. More recently she was my “chef-model” for the launch of my ‘all-female chef range’ shoot. She sent through two recipes, which I can’t wait to try.
