Neil Perry Fresh & Fast follows Neil’s philosophy “Keep it fresh, keep it simple”. And because it’s Neil, it will always be served up with a distinct creative edge. Even in his own kitchen, he does everything with a twist. Whether it’s a stunning seasonal ingredient, or a special technique, Neil is forever wooing our tastebuds. And in this series, he keeps it simple and very fast.
From easy pasta-making to a seafood barbeque on the beach, Neil proves that sensational food need not be hard. He reveals the secrets and shortcuts that turn great food into gourmet food, when cooking for family and friends.
Neil also chats and swaps recipes with friends and colleagues. He joins fellow chef Armando Percuoco at his olive farm for mozzarella and capsicum cooked al fresco, the Italian way; and clashes woks with David “Thai food” Thompson to pound out a range of favourite Thai dishes with little more than a mortar and pestle.
Other episodes will feature Neil in his new test kitchen at Rockpool as he prepares, in real-time, dishes with a Middle Eastern, Spanish or Italian flavour or concentrates on single ingredients like eggs with everything from his classic omelette to a delicious frittata.
From weeknight dinners to casual weekend barbeques, these simple recipes will give viewers the confidence to use exotic seasonal ingredients or give a new twist to familiar ones.
Relaxed, informative and with not a chef’s outfit in sight, Neil Perry Fresh & Fast is all about making sensational meals in minutes. It’s the kind of food Neil cooks at home – and now you can too.

Michele,I love Neils book harmony and Balance ,In it he cooks with palm suger {juggery] I know there is a difference in both items so am alittle uncertain what to buy??
I can only hope that Neil releases all of these recipes in a hard cover book - I want each and every one from this series - I think he's marvellous.... How can I win a day with Neil Perry?
Where can I get hold of: yellow bean sauce, yellow rock sugar, and fermented black beans. The only black beans I can find are just tinned in salt or in packets with salt - is this the same thing? I live north of Sydney.
I am trying to find who sells the Neil Perry Fresh dressings, soy and chilli is one of my favourite but cant find them on any shelvles locally, I live in Albany WA?
I live on the Tweed Coast border of Qld and NSW. Where can I get the fresh dressings such as aioli, lime chilli etc?
Hi, I am searching for a turkey stuffing recipe..it included lots of herbs including coriander roots, it was delicious and I have misplaced the recipe..

i am your biggest fan and i watch all your shows! you are my inspiration of a age of only 12! :)
Help can't find Neils Macaroni And Cheese recipe, is it still on the internet only need ingredients so I can get them on my way home......
Food Fan, canola oil or other neutral flavoured oils are better to make mayonnaise. Olive oil has a strong taste that overpowers the flavour of the mayonnaise.
best burger in kedron....gido kedron bowls now
Just saw Neil Perry's 'fresh dressings' in the chill cabinet of Woolies....apparently they're authentic, according to our Neil.....what a load of bollocks. Tell me any authentic mayonnaise recipe which substitutes olive oil for canola oil mate.....you'd think with all the dosh he makes from his ventures he could afford to put the real thing in the jar.
Mayo should b made w veg oil bro, or at most half half. Olive oil imparts too strong a flavor to make a good mayo, plus it's too expensive!!! U get a much more neutral taste, enhancing the other base flavors if u use veg oil. Try it!
My English is shocking but the dishes are divine!
He is my inspiration. Have developed some great dishes using by understanding his techniques & applying them to ingredients by season.
Neil'a cooking is fantastic - just love his work
Does Neil Perry have any books in Thai language?? My Thai wife is a great cook but is very keen to try out Neils recipes...keep it up! Roger

Like most other people on this blog, I'm trying to track down the products. I too love the Sesame Soy dressing but can't find it at Woolworths anymore. Surely, the Fresh range must be available somewhere?!
Do you have a book with your Fresh & Fast recipes - I already have two of your books - one signed by you which has encouraged me to try cooking even though I'm a shocking cook

Hi, HELP is right I need help too to find Neil Perry's dressings on the Gold Coast...I used to get mine from Woolworths they said maybe next summer but no, not at all, does anyone know where to find these...mine was the Creamy Pesto Mayonnaise?

HELP! I live in Melbourne (Northcote) and I cannot find any Neil Perry Fresh dressings. I usually bought them from the local Safeway, but they don't now seem to carry the range. I'm desperately seeking the Sesame Soy fresh dressing. Can you help me please as I just LOVE the dressing.
