Aspiring Student Chef 2020-21 Finalist - Liam Gill

About the Recipe

My mum adores cooking local foods and regularly comes up with her own amazing dishes for our dinners. My father also cooks a lot too and he always tries to throw in a cultural twist to all our meals with the addition of something Spanish. This combination of local with international is why I chose this recipe.
