Stefano’s Cooking Paradiso sees the much awaited return to television for celebrated chef and restaurateur, Stefano de Pieri (A Gondola on the Murray). In this series, Stefano takes us on a culinary adventure around the Sunraysia/Mallee region, which produces a vast majority of Australia’s meat, fruit and vegetable. Stefano uses local produce for his special Italian/Australian dishes, combining traditional Venetian techniques with genuine outback gusto. Stefano will hunt, gather and cook his way through spellbinding locations – a houseboat on the great Murray River, an intoxicating taste test in sprawling vineyards, a citrus feast in picture-perfect orange groves, and even a sunset BBQ on a spectacular salt lake.
looking forward to the new series Stefano!
You are so blessed and we enjoy the way you present your program and your cooking. Sooooooo good.
You are truly an amazing cook! We love you food, what you have done for mildura and your high energy show! Looking forward to the next season with baided breathe.
Can't wait for the NEW SERIES OF STEFANO'S!! When will it be on?
just bought the DVD - fantastic package! the booklet of recipes is a fantastic idea, makes following the recipes much easier. cant wait for the next series
Stefano's is nominated for a LOGIE!! Congratulations Stef and the team!! Everyone VOTE!
I absolutely love this guys cooking, he is bright, funny, speaks like the ordinary man - without swearing every 2 seconds like Gordon Ramsay. He just' makes cooking and also preparing look so easy. What a little gem he is in our state of Victoria. I wish he was in Melbourne, what an amazing success he'd be here too !!!
Hi Stefano (Donna, Domenico & Claudia!) Congratulations on the new series. It is very nice to see that you have continued your love affair with food and the Sunraysia region. Every now and then I let my memory slip back to the times we spent in the kitchen together and the fun we shared, they were such good times. I wish you and your family (who I know are always there beside you 100%) all the best and continued success. Warmest regards, ChefAhGee. P.S please pass on my best wishes to Don & Anna.
The potato spaghetti machine is a spiral or turning slicer. These can be purchased as an attachment to a mandoline slicer. Try any kitchen gadget shop.
Marg D Rostrevor S.A. Thank you, I was very lucky to win a Door prize which you kindly donated to Xcel Dance Studios for their end of year concert . I look forward to trying some of the great recipes.
I love that potato machine , I would really like to make those prawns wrapped in potato spagetti , does anyone know where to buy one of those????
Me too. Any answers?
Where do you buy the potatoe spaghetti machine
Where can you get the potato shredding machine from the final episode? Love the show
Stefano you are a legend, both my wife and make it a ritual to view your show, being from italian decent many of your dishes and recipies are familier to us. We have tried some of your recipies and they are great, keep it up hope there are many more episodes. One day we will be traveling to Mildura and hope to meet you in person.
A wonderful series Stefano, what will we do with our Satuday night now? (where do you get the potato spaghetti machine?)
I love Stefano!! He has a beautiful smile, and a warm heart - and his recipes are wonderful!! Now if I could only get my partner to cook like him!!
Stefano, If I had a wish, it would be to enjoy one of your superb recipes cooked by you! Your an inspiration! Dee :)
You're very very kind...
Another fantastic effort Stefano, congratulazioni. I love the earthy pesant nature of your recipies.
I have really enjoyed all the episodes so far especially "Olive Oil" and I was SO excited that you gave the recipe for Ricotta Gnocchi with Gorgonzola! We had the most sensational dining experience at your restaurant last month and this recipe was on the menu that night - fantastico!
I grew up in Mildura and still have family living there and really enjoy your show. Will the series be released on DVD for xmas.
The DVD of the entire series will be available from early April next year. Thanks for watching!

Looking forward to Stefano's new recipes. Can't beat Italian Food.
Stefano have loved the shows seen so far, yes watched on Saturday nights and then when replayed during the day. With the rabbit terrine, How long to cook & at what oven temperature?? Maybe I had better start taping as well. Good to see the show doing so well..
I just adore the Italian in you,you make me so hungry and i just love so much that italian food.I enjoy watching you cook!Julie.
Has anybody tried Stefan's Panettone yet? If so when did you ad the 2 egg yolks and the 1 egg for the second part of the dough? Also is 5g fresh yeast enough? Please can someone get back to me asap Dominique
Hi. The eggs are mixed in with the dough at the start and the yeast is 5g of DRY yeast. Thanks for watching.
Stefano, please could you please tell me when making the panettone, it does'nt mention when to put the 2 egg yolks and the 1 egg, in the recipe. And also is 5g of yeast correct? Hope you can get back to me soon as I would like to try this out, I love panettone Keep up the good work, love your fresh pasta with broccoli Thanks Heaps
Stefano's jar of caramelised onions are so delicious and the best caramelised onions I've bought out of a jar and better than my home made ones. Not sure if he still sells these, but if he does, get one if you can.
Hi Pep 11, I'm Lyndall Vandenberg and I make Stefano's Preserves- I'm glad you love this product. Caramelised Onion Jam is currently sold around Australia in selected outlets. Check out David Jones foodhalls.

Hey Stef, really love your show. Mildura looks amazing, how long did it take to shoot the series? Can't wait to see the next episode on Saturday.
Glad you enjoy the show! It took us roughly 8 weeks to complete the shoot in Mildura. Saturday's episode is Olive Oil - you'll love it!
Margaret138: Yes, there will be a DVD of the series being released mid 2010. I'll keep you posted with the release date. Till then, keep watching on Lifestyle Food!
Hi there - I'm one of the people involved with making this series and am in constant communication with the man himself, Stefano de Pieri. So - if you have any questions, ask me direct and i'll do my best to answer you as quickly as possible. Happy viewing!
My neice just told me about this website and it's great - is there a new dvd coming out by Stephano? I just loved "Gondola on the Murray" - I'm just going to try the Easy Roast Chicken recipe now - glad I saw it.

I have always loved watching Stefano de Perieri's cooking shows and it is just fabulous he is now on the Food channel. The whole fish back in the salt egg white solution will definitely be one the dishes I will prepare for this Christmas lunch. Thanks Stefano!
Finally, real food for real people - well done Stefano
Watched SALT last night and absolutely love it! Stephano is such an easy cook to watch and makes we want to visit Mildura. Is there a book for this series?

I've already tried three of Stefano's online recipes and toot toot, I'm all over this flavor train!!
Broccolini Pasta tonite with Chianti ------ for sure Thanks Stefano
All aboards da flavour train.... Toot... Toot...
I think that Stefano is a cook rather than a chef...or at least he used to be a cook! I live in Mildura, so he is very well known around here. He is a terrific ambassador for our region and I look forward to him promoting us even more!
Loved Gondola on the Murray so can't imagine the new show being anything but brilliant!
Always liked Stefano and love Italian food,this from someone born in Norway Bjørg
Will be watching the show to see what all this fuss is about. If he is half as good as cracked up to be, I will definitely become one of his fans, as he sounds just what we all need right now. I am really looking forward to finding out !!!
Stefano I cannot wait for this new series. It has been too long between meals.
He's the best have eaten at his restaurant twice delicious food ! And he is a lovely man Can't wait for the new show

When does this start??? Online video recipes are sweet!
Again, this will put Mildura on the map. We are very proud of Stefano who does so much for this town. Cannot wait to watch the show. Congratulations.
