    So hard to choose, all looks divine! I’d love to get my hands on the book-I adore Sri Lankan food but have very little experience cooking it so this would provide some inspiration!

  • 2. ELIZABETH | May 8th, 2010 at 7:04 am | #

    All products sound like they are ‘to die for’, the Flying Fish Black Pepper Curry Leaf Sauce sounds divine….I ♥ Sri Lankan food….

  • 3. Deanna | May 8th, 2010 at 7:24 am | #

    Blast. Another contest I can’t enter because I don’t live in Australia. Someday…

  • 4. Faith | May 8th, 2010 at 7:30 am | #

    What a fabulous package! That looks like a beautiful cookbook. Happy Friday, Lorraine!

  • 5. isLa | May 8th, 2010 at 8:29 am | #

    mm hard to choose, but probably the Chillie Salt – this sounds like i could replace normal salt, but with a bit of heat.. i love my hot food!

  • 6. Matilda | May 8th, 2010 at 8:40 am | #

    Happy Birthday wishes Lorraine, hope you have a lovely day and Mr. NQN spoils you rotten :-)

  • 7. Carole | May 8th, 2010 at 8:42 am | #

    Sri Lankan cuisine is new to me, so I’d love to experiment. I’m intrigued by the black pepper caramel.

    Thank you. Hope you have a terrific weekend!

  • 8. Hugh | May 8th, 2010 at 8:42 am | #

    I really want the cookbook. I’m sure it would take me places I’ve never been.

  • 9. karina wong | May 8th, 2010 at 8:53 am | #

    Serendip: My Sri Lankan Kitchen. I have never cooked Sri Lankan food before, this looks very exciting project!

  • 10. Highlands Foodie | May 8th, 2010 at 9:03 am | #

    This looks delicious! Simply mouthwatering! If I had to choose one product and one only…I’m with you Lorraine, it just has to be the Bringal pickle. They could feed me the stuff intravenously and I still couldn’t get enough of it!

  • 11. Fiona | May 8th, 2010 at 9:07 am | #

    The cookbook. My partner has Sri Lankan heritage, but we rarely cook that way!

  • 12. Naomi | May 8th, 2010 at 9:09 am | #

    The Black Pepper Caramel sounds loaded with possibilities but I think the Bringal Pickle sounds like the least-likely to be found in the US, so I am curious about that.

  • 13. Howard | May 8th, 2010 at 9:19 am | #

    Flying Fish Black Pepper Caramel – I’ve never tried that before, sounds like an amazing combination – am looking forward to it!

  • 14. Michelle | May 8th, 2010 at 9:21 am | #

    Peter’s signed copy of Serendip would certainly be an inspiration for the upcoming winter dinner parties. Would love to try out his recipes thanks Lorraine

  • 15. Min Ai | May 8th, 2010 at 9:29 am | #

    Having tried the black pepper curry leaf sauce with prawns at the Taste of Sydney festival, I’m DYING to recreate this dish myself. Not the mention having grown up with Sri Lankan buddies in NZ and missing their mums cooking us delicious SL feasts!!!!!

  • 16. Bev | May 8th, 2010 at 9:34 am | #

    Salad dressing!! I’m still looking for that elusive yummy bottled salad dressing!

  • 17. Elaine Oliver | May 8th, 2010 at 9:36 am | #

    Oh I spent 2 fabulous weeks in Sri Lanka over 30 years ago & have never forgotten the more than delicious food. I love curries so any of the items would be appreciated but if you’re going to twist my arm I’ll say the Flying Fish Black Pepper Curry Leaf Sauce. Then maybe I could transport myself back to that magical Island of Sri Lanka…Fabulous prize Lorraine, many thanks for the chance of winning it.
    Cheers, Elaine

  • 18. kavitha | May 8th, 2010 at 9:40 am | #

    I’m SriLankan and I love cooking a dish called ‘pittu’ which is steamed rice flour. Now i noticed the ‘salt and pepper rice flour’ as one of the products in the line up and thought ‘WOW! This would so give my pittu a kick!’ My mum’s coming to Sydney for a visit next month, and I wouldn’t mind impressing her with my spiced-up pittu :)

  • 19. Brett | May 8th, 2010 at 9:55 am | #

    I don’t think I can wait for the competition to end and will have to go and buy all of them for myself.

  • 20. Miss Emma Louise | May 8th, 2010 at 9:59 am | #

    The black pepper caramel sounds amazing, I’d love to try that with thinly sliced sirloin. Yum. We cook a lot of Indian food at home as my husband has regular cravings for the food of his childhood, but I’ve never ventured into Sri Lankan food before. I’ll have to get the book!

  • 21. belinda | May 8th, 2010 at 10:00 am | #

    the Serendip cookbook – we have this brilliant Tuesday evening Sri Lankan buffet (just between Darwin and Palmeston), and I’d love to play with making the flavours myself.

  • 22. Jacqui | May 8th, 2010 at 10:06 am | #

    All the products look wonderful, but I think my favourite to use would be the salt and pepper rice flour. I’ve recently been cleared of a shellfish/crustacean/molluscs allergy after 17 years of being denied my favourite food! I’m now making up for it and I think this would be awesome teamed with squid.

  • 23. Jonathon James Clarke | May 8th, 2010 at 10:18 am | #

    Happy Birthday, Lorraine! Hope you have a great day, and Mr NQN spoils you like you deserve!!

  • 24. samantha bui | May 8th, 2010 at 10:23 am | #

    Flying Fish Chillie Salt! Good food is always about good seasoning, and this give it a little more bang! also its such a sexy looking little product!

    sam

  • 25. Rosemary | May 8th, 2010 at 10:31 am | #

    The black pepper caramel sounds divine, and so versatile!

  • 26. miki brotzler | May 8th, 2010 at 10:44 am | #

    The Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce…I love the sauce that come with Hainanese chickens and this will let me do something similar at home!

  • 27. Food Tragic of QLD | May 8th, 2010 at 10:45 am | #

    I had the chance to purchase the chilli salt many years ago on a chance visit to the restaurant. It was guarded zealously and rationed out over several years. God help anyone who touched my chilli salt! Yet another reason my friends think I am a food nutter. Now no longer living in Sydney, I would love the chance to reacquaint myself with my salty love!

  • 28. Yon | May 8th, 2010 at 10:47 am | #

    Sri Lanka has always had a very special place in my heart as my grandma came from there. She used to tell me as a child about this beautiful and peaceful place called Ceylon and her memorable childhood memories picking tea leaves and spices with her family. I truly love her Cinnamon Tea cake recipe from her mother, its unique flavours never fail to ignite that passion that I love about Sri Lankan cuisines, which are highly influenced by its rich spice trading history with the Portuguese, English, Dutch, Arabs, Indians, Malays, Moors, etc. Those are beautiful memories and lessons indeed.
    The Flying Fish Bringal Pickle would make a great companion to my fish curry, always a family favourite. My English husband loves having his bread with the curry as always. The pickles would add a new dimension to the spiciness of the curry, which I’m sure would re-seduce our taste buds with its zest and transport me (AND my husband) back to our “historical” roots.

  • 29. Cate | May 8th, 2010 at 11:01 am | #

    Having friends that are Sri Lankan I would love the cookbook so that I can produce a meal that shows them I can do it too!! Would also love to get my hands on the Black Pepper Caramel!

  • 30. Clare | May 8th, 2010 at 11:04 am | #

    The ginger chilli shallot sauce… yuuuum…. just because I have a fiery raging passion for shallots.

  • 31. Jan Murray | May 8th, 2010 at 11:06 am | #

    All sounds delicious, but the black pepper caramel is the most intriguing to me. First introduced to Sri Lankan foos by a girlfriends mum at school and would love to learn to cook it so this book sounds like a must have

  • 32. jess | May 8th, 2010 at 11:13 am | #

    The Flying Fish Salt & Pepper Rice Flour has gotten me excited! I love all things salt and pepper related and this mix just simplifies it for me! I can definitely imagine using this to make my favourite salt and pepper squid

  • 33. Gail Ellison | May 8th, 2010 at 11:18 am | #

    What a job to choose …think I’d have to go for the Black Pepper Caramel as it sounds so
    decadant without going over-the-top. I’d use it on meats and char grilled vegetables
    …and I’m sure I would find many other ways to use it too.

    Thanks for the opportunity

    Gail from NZ

  • 34. Henry | May 8th, 2010 at 11:19 am | #

    The chilli salt! Great way to bring some heat to the winter season(ing).

  • 35. jl | May 8th, 2010 at 11:30 am | #

    I’ve always like the indian brinjal pickles they are so good esp a little spoon at the side to spice up a fish or a steak! yum

  • 36. Paquita | May 8th, 2010 at 11:57 am | #

    Having eaten there I would just love the book so that I can test out loads of the recipes and my 8 year old daughter would be ecstatic as she loves this type of cuisine. The salt & pepper rice flour sounds like a winner for super simple seafood starter any day!

  • 37. Hannah | May 8th, 2010 at 12:28 pm | #

    Black Pepper Caramel, because I’d love to try it on top of some good-quality vanilla bean icecream… or maybe on my morning oatmeal? Mmmm…

  • 38. Kim | May 8th, 2010 at 12:35 pm | #

    The ginger chillie shallot sauce sounds awesome, but I know the chillie salt would definitely get a work out in this house. :)

  • 39. Chris | May 8th, 2010 at 1:21 pm | #

    Ohh the caramel …glazed over something pork … Not quite sure what Exactly but something pork!!!

  • 40. Chris | May 8th, 2010 at 1:23 pm | #

    FYI long time listner, first time caller  love your blog

  • 41. reb | May 8th, 2010 at 1:23 pm | #

    the salt and pepper rice flour! I hope it’s as gluten free as it sounds!

  • 42. Caz | May 8th, 2010 at 1:26 pm | #

    Wow delicious! Hard to pick but I think the black pepper caramel is something I’d just HAVE to come up with something fabulous for. So I’ll pick that one. Yum

  • 43. Belinda | May 8th, 2010 at 1:53 pm | #

    Happy Birthday Lorraine – Hip Hip Hooooray!! xoxo B.

  • 44. sandra | May 8th, 2010 at 2:10 pm | #

    The flying fish salad dressing as I am sure it is perfectly balanced and would make a healthy salad taste great too.

  • 45. Jay | May 8th, 2010 at 2:11 pm | #

    The cookbook is my favourite in the pack…because it lasts a life time and more. Hope you are having a fabulous birthday weekend!!

  • 46. 5 Star Foodie | May 8th, 2010 at 2:19 pm | #

    What a fabulous giveaway! I would love to try Flying Fish Black Pepper Caramel especially, I’ll totally make that yummy looking tuna!

  • 47. Kate | May 8th, 2010 at 2:25 pm | #

    Definately the Chillie Salt. A must have on home-made chips! As well as a fantastic addition to fish or calamari. It reminds me of long weekend lunchs at Flying Fish pre-baby!

  • 48. Krista | May 8th, 2010 at 2:35 pm | #

    Wow! What an amazing giveaway, Lorraine. :-) I’ve never tried Sri Lankan cuisine but all these things sound absolutely amazing! That black pepper caramel is gorgeous, of course, but I’m very intrigued by the Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce. I’d love to try it with fish, or maybe as dressing on a wilted salad.

  • 49. carly | May 8th, 2010 at 2:46 pm | #

    The salt and pepper rice flour sounds fabulous! I would use it to coat some fish to get that light texture and amazing flavour. Thanks Lorraine!

  • 50. Bernadine Lee | May 8th, 2010 at 2:50 pm | #

    Hi Lorraine,
    What a yummy set of goodies.
    My favourite is the Flying Fish Black Pepper Curry Leaf Sauce.
    I love the aroma of curry leaves.

  • 51. Mary | May 8th, 2010 at 3:21 pm | #

    I would love to try the black pepper caramel. I’m intreagued.

  • 52. Patch | May 8th, 2010 at 3:24 pm | #

    Black Pepper Caramel, I can’t wait to try it out on prawns or a nice piece of juicy meat!

  • 53. Cheryl Moulton | May 8th, 2010 at 3:28 pm | #

    Everytime that I read your blog my mouth waters, and I think that my waistline grows in anticipation.
    Your favourites of the Bringal Pickle and the black pepper caramel drizled over roast vegies and chicken sounds so yummy!
    I like the sound of the ‘Flying Fish Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce’ & the ‘Flying Fish Salad Dressing’, but I would definitely need the book for recipes to know what ingredient to use & where for the most flavoursome and delectable meal

  • 54. Sally | May 8th, 2010 at 3:54 pm | #

    Having travelled to Sri Lanka, I am in love with the flavours of the region, although never seem to be able to replicate the dishes I sampled! Sounds like I need help from Peter Kuruvita and his fabulous cookbook! Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great prize!

  • 55. Midge | May 8th, 2010 at 3:57 pm | #

    I fancy the cookbook! I’ve not had much experience with Sri Lankan cuisine, but I have a very adventurous appetite and actually learning how to cook the cuisine will certainly broaden my culinary horizons. :)

  • 56. Edwina | May 8th, 2010 at 4:06 pm | #

    The Flying Fish Chillie Salt – so I can recreate Peter Kuruvita’s famous hand cut chips in the comfort of my own home!

  • 57. Sydneyguyrojoe | May 8th, 2010 at 4:09 pm | #

    Anything spicy so my friend will stop suggesting to goto Wagamama just JUST for there chilli oil

  • 58. Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial | May 8th, 2010 at 4:36 pm | #

    Not an entry. Logged in today to wish you happy birthday! :) Hope you’re having a great day!

    Celia xx

  • 59. Leonie | May 8th, 2010 at 4:54 pm | #

    I love the sound of the black pepper caramel! I can just imagine making a wonderful fiery toffee with it, sweet on the tongue but pleasantly burning the roof of your mouth afterwards: it seems a natural progression from chili chocolate, which I think has run its course. Now, all I need to do is come up with a recipe…

  • 60. Saphire | May 8th, 2010 at 5:34 pm | #

    I would love to use the Flying Fish Salt & Pepper Rice Flour because I think it would make an awesome tempura batter for fresh sea food, you could also marry it with the Flying Fish Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce. I have never made tempura batter for anything and always buy my sea food in restaurants, so I would love a chance to cook something like salt and pepper squid at home.

  • 61. Kat M | May 8th, 2010 at 5:48 pm | #

    Hi and Happy Birthday!

    Salt and Pepper Rice Flour is my pick

  • 62. Phunk | May 8th, 2010 at 5:49 pm | #

    The ginger chilli shallot sauce sounds delicious :)

  • 63. Merryl | May 8th, 2010 at 6:11 pm | #

    The cookbook. I can only use the ingredients once, but I can use the cookbook again and again.

  • 64. MissJane | May 8th, 2010 at 6:33 pm | #

    The fave on the list for me is the cookbook, pictures to drool over and inspirational instruction.

  • 65. Rebecca | May 8th, 2010 at 6:42 pm | #

    I would like to use…the Ginger Chillie Shallot Sauce :) Up until recently I never really liked ginger…but now I think it has such a nice flavour, and I think that combination sounds really really tasty :)

  • 66. DD | May 8th, 2010 at 7:10 pm | #

    Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce, my three absolute favourite of all favourite flavours to use in the kitchen, ready to go in one bottle.

  • 67. Diana | May 8th, 2010 at 7:11 pm | #

    Salt & Pepper Rice Flour, no more mucking about seasoning flour, this will be my never fail, all ready to go wonder.

  • 68. Ernie | May 8th, 2010 at 7:13 pm | #

    The signed copy of Serendip: My Sri Lankan Kitchen by Peter Kuruvita, so I too can become a master of the kitchen, creating mouth watering favourites without having to leave the house!

  • 69. melissa | May 8th, 2010 at 7:24 pm | #

    Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce sounds great

  • 70. grace | May 8th, 2010 at 8:07 pm | #

    chile salt! i’m a salt-abuser and love to set my mouth on fire (man, i sound masochistic!), so i’d love to give that a try!

  • 71. Nick | May 8th, 2010 at 8:13 pm | #

    I’d love to win “A signed copy of Serendip: My Sri Lankan Kitchen by Peter Kuruvita” as I have always wanted to cook a Sri Lankan meal but I’ve never got around to doing so & didn’t know how. But If I had this book the inspiration would be there for sure!

  • 72. Claire | May 8th, 2010 at 8:44 pm | #

    Brinjal pickle is one of my most favourite things ever – my (now dead) father introduced me to it years and years ago, and the fact that my 4 yr old son asks for it in his cheese sandwiches (yes, really) is one of the things I really really wish I could tell him. And I haven’t tasted this brand so would love to!
    When I moved to Sydney I was so distressed by the lack of Patak’s Brinjal pickle on the supermarket shelves I actually contacted their head office to find out whether I could buy it here. They said no. The day I discovered they had started making it here was a WONDERFUL one!!!
    Plus I had the same tuna dish at taste of Sydney and I can almost still taste it! One of the best plates of the night!

  • 73. Margaret | May 8th, 2010 at 9:21 pm | #

    I’d love to try the `Flying Fish Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce’. I love the refreshing taste of ginger and having it combined with chilli and shallots, would be sensational.

  • 74. Penny connollycoates | May 8th, 2010 at 9:31 pm | #

    I would love to experiment with the salt and pepper rice flour- and finally get my own back weeks
    on end with trying a recipe from the cookbook every weekend!!! My neighbours are Sri Lankan and there is some hefty dinner envy going on in our unit block!!!! Thanks for the chance of retribution! : )

  • 75. maisie graham | May 8th, 2010 at 9:33 pm | #

    omg please please please ,the recipe book would just be wonderful

  • 76. Hilary B. | May 8th, 2010 at 11:16 pm | #

    Why would anyone EVER use an ‘ordinary’ one after this?…
    FF Salad Dressing would lift even a plain lettuce leaf to gourmet salad standard! :)

  • 77. Sasha {Everything Fabulous} | May 8th, 2010 at 11:42 pm | #

    the salt 7 pepper sounds great but overall the cookbook would be my fav thing!

  • 78. penny aka jeroxie | May 8th, 2010 at 11:57 pm | #

    Been trying to learn about Sri Lankan cuisine lately. This will come in hardy for sure. I will love to try the Flying Fish Black Pepper Caramel. Sounds really interesting.

  • 79. Conor @ HoldtheBeef | May 9th, 2010 at 1:30 am | #

    Great minds think alike, hey birthday girl? :)

    After my amazing Sri Lankan eating fest recently, I would so dearly love to get a copy of Serendip. My friend “DeVious”, who is Sri Lankan, has not been a friend of mine for very long and I don’t want to scare her off by inviting myself to her place for dinner every night just to eat delicious Sri Lankan food so it would be nice to be able to make some myself. Added bonus if I could recreate some of the tasty “shorties” I ate at the Sri Lankan New Year festivities, and super double bonus if I could impress DeVious with some Sri Lankan cooking! I can only hope :)

  • 80. Christine | May 9th, 2010 at 1:32 am | #

    Wow – Sri Lankan cuisine sure sounds exotic and wonderful! Difficult to choose, though – but It think I’ll go with the book. Two reasons: I love books, they’re small worlds in themselves, and besides: How would you be able to cook delicious stuff without cookbooks?

    Happy birthday from the not-so-cold-actually-quite-sunny-and-warm Norway, Lorraine! :)

  • 81. Kitchen Butterfly | May 9th, 2010 at 2:26 am | #

    I would love the black pepper caramel in some whoopie pies……for sure!

  • 82. Linda V | May 9th, 2010 at 6:08 am | #

    I like the look of the caramel your description of it drizzled over the vegetables sounds inviting.

  • 83. Gail | May 9th, 2010 at 6:10 am | #

    Serendip: My Sri Lankan Kitchen by Peter Kuruvita would be fabulous to own and give me a chance to impress a “certain someone” ,,,

  • 84. LESLEY | May 9th, 2010 at 7:53 am | #

    CHILE SALT, IT SEEMS THE MOST VERSATILE.

  • 85. Wendy | May 9th, 2010 at 8:12 am | #

    The Black Pepper caramel sounds fantastic! I’d love to try it.

  • 86. melissa | May 9th, 2010 at 9:27 am | #

    Chillie Salt

  • 87. john@heneedsfood | May 9th, 2010 at 10:22 am | #

    I love the sound of the Black Pepper Curry Leaf Sauce. At home I’d team it up with char-grilled seafood like king prawns or crayfish with a nice juicy wedge of fresh lime. Sadly my only holiday in Sri Lanka many years ago was marred by drinking contaminated water from a bottle, though the wonderful food I had beforehand was some of the most memorable from all of my travels.

  • 88. Andrea | May 9th, 2010 at 10:27 am | #

    Hi, I’d love to try the Flying Fish Black Pepper Curry Leaf Sauce as I’ve never heard of a sauce using that combination. Plus I don’t own a curry leaf plant so having it all in one would be great!
    I’d use the sauce in a meat curry served with basmati rice yellowed with saffron and flavoured with cardamon pods.

  • 89. Barbara Weber | May 9th, 2010 at 11:06 am | #

    I don’t think that I have actually tried anything SriLankan, but the Ginger,Chilli and Shallot sauce sounds just the ticket for this cooler weather…mmmm….salivating already!

  • 90. SuperShan | May 9th, 2010 at 11:56 am | #

    I’ve never made Sri Lankan food – but just the cover of that cookbook has me wishing I could dive in. Product wise I’d say salt and pepper rice flour – sounds so simple but if it improves my dismal attempts at salt and pepper squid, prawns etc etc I’d be most grateful :)

  • 91. Carmen | May 9th, 2010 at 12:14 pm | #

    Flying Fish Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce- grilled fish with Chilli Shallot sauce top up with some fresh coriander- WOW it will be the work of art!

  • 92. rizz | May 9th, 2010 at 3:06 pm | #

    I’d most fancy the Bringal Pickle because I have absolutely no idea what it is and the most enthralling thing for a curious maiden of the kitchen like me is to try new things!

  • 93. Jacqui Lagaluga | May 9th, 2010 at 4:04 pm | #

    The Black Pepper Curry Leaf Sauce
    would be wonderful to use when making a fish and prawn curry served with steamed rice-I can almost taste it now!!!

  • 94. Jo Anne | May 9th, 2010 at 4:57 pm | #

    My daughter and I share Mother’s Day and her Birthday this year. We also share a cookbook addiction so I have to say the cookbook would be our “must-have” as my kitchen is shared territory – even with my son now when he comes home of a weekend!!

  • 95. Tian | May 9th, 2010 at 6:09 pm | #

    The black pepper caramel is the most unfamiliar. I would imagine it as a good marinade for spicy grilled chicken breast?

  • 96. Phoebe | May 9th, 2010 at 6:33 pm | #

    Serendip: My Sri Lankan Kitchen – I would love to try and cook Sri lankan for the first time and taste the flavours.

  • 97. Robyn Forsyth | May 9th, 2010 at 7:31 pm | #

    Fancying the salt and pepper rice flour:
    1. We are gluten free here
    2. We caught (yes CAUGHT) some squid from the jetty last night!

  • 98. Forager | May 9th, 2010 at 9:17 pm | #

    Ooh, the black pepper caramel is the product that instantly got me curious. Sweet, savoury, spicy. So many glorious recipe possibilities!

    And then there’s the Bringal pickle – simply because you can never have too many pickles!

    Would love to try the black pepper caramel…salt caramel is so passe…

  • 100. joanne | May 9th, 2010 at 11:30 pm | #

    I think the Black Pepper Caramel sounds wonderful. I’d love to try it.

  • 101. Jenn | May 10th, 2010 at 5:34 am | #

    I’d most enjoy the Flying Fish Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce. I absolutely love ginger chilli sauces no matter what and would love to try out a new brand.

  • 102. Alex Lim | May 10th, 2010 at 6:23 am | #

    I would use the Flying Fish Black Pepper Curry Leaf Sauce first.
    The spice of the curry leaf + the hotness of black pepper would complete any spice lover’s dish.

    It almost sounds like the sauce used in ‘curry fish head’ actually. That being said, I’d try it with a steamed fish first.

  • 103. nadia | May 10th, 2010 at 7:09 am | #

    Ginger Chilli Shallot Sauce because it would be wonderful in a stir fry or to marinate fish with.

  • 104. Jess | May 10th, 2010 at 7:47 am | #

    I fancy the cookbook, I love getting new inspiration :)

  • 105. isLa | May 10th, 2010 at 8:28 am | #

    even though not a sri lankan dish, sounds like the Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce would be perfect on maybe steam fish..?

  • 106. monica | May 10th, 2010 at 9:01 am | #

    Oh what a treat …. you know never have had sri lankan food i must admit … so i guess a good start would be the chilie salt … can see that been used in a lot of dishes .

  • 107. Lori | May 10th, 2010 at 9:15 am | #

    Oh, the curry leaf sauce! I just bought a curry plant. I love the taste. I swoon over the smell as I am heating it.

  • 108. katrina | May 10th, 2010 at 9:19 am | #

    Salt and pepper rice flour for me please.

    if I dont win it where can we buy these products in Sydney as i would love to try the rice flour. We have been to Flying Fish and it was fantastic. Food and decor really first class.

  • 109. melissa | May 10th, 2010 at 10:03 am | #

    Black Pepper Caramel

  • 110. Annie | May 10th, 2010 at 10:48 am | #

    Black pepper curry leaf sauce…..it just sounds so…YUM!

  • 111. Sylvia | May 10th, 2010 at 11:34 am | #

    The cookbook for me because I would love to learn how to make Sri Lankan dishes from my kitchen. All the other products sounds divine, would love a taste of the Black Pepper Caramel.

  • 112. Camilla | May 10th, 2010 at 1:44 pm | #

    Flying Fish Chillie Salt would be great, the whole collection does look good though!

  • 113. D | May 10th, 2010 at 2:20 pm | #

    Black Pepper Caramel – because it just sounds too good not to try!

  • 114. Anita | May 10th, 2010 at 3:20 pm | #

    It would have to be the signed copy of Serendip – as I have never tried Sri Lankan food… as would love a chance to.

  • 115. anonymous | May 10th, 2010 at 4:26 pm | #

    i live in a country – Republic of South Africa – that was first world. now it is thiord world best. I have never seen nor heard of these products. I would love to try them out, even just to prove that i have not dropped to the level of mielie pap and gravy.

  • 116. Matilda | May 10th, 2010 at 5:51 pm | #

    I’d like to try the Salt & Pepper Rice Flour because I think that combined with a little cornflour would make the perfect mix for Salt & Pepper Squid/Prawns/Calamari.
    Hubby and I dined at Flying Fish for Valentine’s Day, we ordered the degustation menu and couldn’t believe the generous portions. Everything was delicious but we struggled to get through it and I nearly cried when I had to leave some of the yummy dessert on the plate.

  • 117. Kate | May 10th, 2010 at 6:46 pm | #

    It would have to be the cookbook! Its the food photography more than anything else that inspires me grocery shopping and planning dinners. Plus I can read a cookbook like a novel on the couch all afternoon,very very happily!

  • 118. Joy | May 10th, 2010 at 7:15 pm | #

    Nom Nom NOm – how could you even CONSIDER going back the Black Pepper Caramel. I swear I just started drooling into my keyboard at the mere thought of it. Could you imagine it with Pork Belly?? Amazing… :)

  • 119. Cassie | May 10th, 2010 at 7:59 pm | #

    Sri Lankan food.. hmm.. Reminds me of Rick Stein. He’s been there whilst travelling round Asia. It would be great to have a Sri Lankan cookbook, especially some of the ingredients used there. Can’t wait to whip something up!

  • 120. Amy P. | May 11th, 2010 at 1:10 am | #

    I think that the black pepper caramel sauce sounds great. I love anything to do with caramel sauce!

  • 121. melissa | May 11th, 2010 at 9:50 am | #

    Black Pepper Curry Leaf Sauce

  • 122. Karen | May 11th, 2010 at 10:45 am | #

    I would love to win the Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce this product sounds great and so tasty…

  • 123. Charlotte | May 11th, 2010 at 12:58 pm | #

    All the products sound beautiful but I am drawn to the Ginger, Chilli and Shallot Sauce. I would imagine it being beautiful with chicken and fish.

    Should I win I would throw a giant Sri Lankan dinner party using all the products within HEAPS of recipes from the beautiful book for my gorgeous friends and family! And at the beginning of the meal I would raise my glass to the inspiring Not-Quite-Nigella for making this (and everything in my kitchen lately) possible. :)

  • 124. Charlotte | May 11th, 2010 at 1:04 pm | #

    Forgot to say why I would love the Ginger, Chilli and Shallot sauce…

    I love the freshness of ginger and the tingle on the tongue of chilli. The smell of shallots frying in the kitchen calms and comforts. This sauce sounds like it would transport me over to Sri Lanka from outer Sydney and feel like with just the twist of the lid. All these joys await, tucked up in a cute little bottle.

  • 125. Di | May 11th, 2010 at 1:07 pm | #

    Flying Fish Black Pepper Caramel because it just sounds so delicious and unique – never heard of combining those ingredients before!

  • 126. isLa | May 11th, 2010 at 5:57 pm | #

    the Black Pepper Caramel sounds so interesting, would love to try it!

  • 127. Katherine Ryan | May 11th, 2010 at 6:46 pm | #

    ‘Serendip’ is the most exciting part of the prize pack for me, I’ve actually read it before, I borrowed it out from the library. It’s a beautiful book, I greatly admired the photography and design, and the recipes are mouthwatering!

  • 128. Ming | May 11th, 2010 at 10:08 pm | #

    Flying fish salad dressing.. transform my usual boring salad into a real mouthful of delight.

  • 129. Kelly | May 12th, 2010 at 11:59 am | #

    The Flying Fish Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce – flavoursome, and so many different uses!

  • 130. SARAH | May 12th, 2010 at 12:36 pm | #

    I would love to taste the Bringal Pickle it would take me back to my childhood and the aromas that came from my mums kitchen as she cooked my dads favourite curries

  • 131. pamela | May 12th, 2010 at 12:45 pm | #

    The black peper curry leaf sauce sounds exotically enticing. Far cry from tartae sauce!

  • 132. Di | May 12th, 2010 at 5:19 pm | #

    Flying Fish Black Pepper Curry Leaf Sauce – because it sounds so interesting and Im sure it would spice up my curry!

  • 133. Belinda Bonello | May 12th, 2010 at 11:49 pm | #

    I would have to say the black pepper caramel because it sounds like a delicious combination!

  • 134. Azra Dedic | May 13th, 2010 at 5:25 am | #

    I would have to say I’d love to try Flying Fish Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce, I’d marinade a nice piece of salmon in it (my fave fish!!) wrap in tinfoil with veg and let it roast in the oven, I imagine the chilli flavour would give it a real kick and taste fantastic with vegetables!

  • 135. isLa | May 13th, 2010 at 9:15 am | #

    I’ll also be interested in how the Black Pepper Curry Leaf Sauce will be like, as i love cooking curry !

  • 136. Claire | May 13th, 2010 at 11:22 am | #

    I have the book Serendip and simply love cooking out of it, at least once per week! It’s amazing!

    I would LOVE to try some of the Chilli Salt. I love a well seasoned meal, and am a total chilli fiend, so the combination sounds like PURE HEAVEN to me.

    Thanks! :)

  • 137. robert caddwaller | May 13th, 2010 at 11:33 am | #

    Decisions, decisions, maybe the black pepper curry leaf sauce, or the chillie salt, or ginger chilli shallot sauce. They all sounds scrumpious.

  • 138. Di | May 13th, 2010 at 6:40 pm | #

    Flying Fish Black Pepper Caramel because it sounds so interesting – sweet as well, great as I have a sweet tooth.

  • 139. Judy | May 13th, 2010 at 11:59 pm | #

    the flying fish black pepper caramel because it sounds like a really interesting combo, and being a sweet tooth, i just HAVE to choose the only sweet flying fish item in the list!

  • 140. isLa | May 14th, 2010 at 10:07 am | #

    would also love to try the Black Pepper Caramel, sounds so interesting, but would need to know how to use it!

  • 141. Charlotte | May 14th, 2010 at 11:44 am | #

    I’d love the Chilli Salt also (as well as the Ginger, Chilli and Shallot sauce as previously mentioned in a past entry).

    There would be a million ways of using the Chilli sauce, I would sprinkle it over everything. I wonder if it would even work with chocolate? hmmm. I’d love to try it!!!!

  • 142. SoRMuiJAi | May 14th, 2010 at 3:59 pm | #

    I would love the book! I am an absolute cookbook horder!

  • 143. Di | May 14th, 2010 at 4:19 pm | #

    Flying Fish Black Pepper Caramel, because I think it would make a great flavour combination.

  • 144. melissa | May 14th, 2010 at 6:15 pm | #

    Salad Dressing

  • 145. Louise | May 15th, 2010 at 7:23 am | #

    wow! great comp. and the cookbook looks beautiful. id love to use the black pepper caramel. what a unique flavour and would go great with a sunday lunch roast.

  • 146. melissa | May 15th, 2010 at 9:53 am | #

    Serendip

  • 147. isLa | May 16th, 2010 at 11:23 am | #

  • 148. CHERZ | May 16th, 2010 at 2:37 pm | #

    Ingredients will soon be gone…
    but the book will live on and on.
    Serendip would make me flip.
    Luv to all.

  • 149. isLa | May 17th, 2010 at 11:33 am | #

    you can probably tell by now that i really do want to win this set!
    i think the chilli salt will be most versatile, could replace the chicken salt on chips… :)

  • 150. Jackie | May 17th, 2010 at 7:54 pm | #

    Oooh I would love this! I’m thinking the Black Pepper Caramel would hit the high notes. Who *doesn’t* love sweet and hot??

  • 151. Tessa | May 17th, 2010 at 10:18 pm | #

    The COOK BOOK of course, so I’ll know how to use the other wonderful ingredients to their maximum potential!

  • 152. Erica | May 17th, 2010 at 10:20 pm | #

    MM the chilli salt, just thinking about how it would taste with my fried hokkien noodles is making me droool.

  • 153. Jenn | May 17th, 2010 at 11:23 pm | #

    The Flying Fish Bringal Pickle. Mmmmm! On a cracker with a bit of cheese, can’t beat it!

  • 154. isLa | May 18th, 2010 at 8:25 am | #

    Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce sounds good

  • 156. Nance | May 18th, 2010 at 1:09 pm | #

    Flying fish chillie salt: I’m a student and i can’t afford to fork out $14 for 180g of flavoursome salt let alone spend $$$ at Flying fish to taste their unique menu. I would use the salt to season some roasted potatoes and oven baked filet fish, a nice warm dinner for the up coming cold nights!

  • 157. Di | May 18th, 2010 at 2:51 pm | #

    Flying Fish Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce because it sounds like a great flavour combination. YUM!

  • 158. Heidi | May 18th, 2010 at 6:31 pm | #

    Fresh crab caught from Brisbane waters central coast cooked with Ginger chilli shallot sauce yumo!!!!

  • 159. Jenni | May 19th, 2010 at 10:09 am | #

    I like the sound of the Flying Fish Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce – maybe with some steamed chicken (hainin chicken rice style), with some quickly stir fryed chinese veg and rice – might save a lot of time pounding the ginger and shallot in the morter and pestle!

  • 160. Di | May 19th, 2010 at 1:24 pm | #

    Flying Fish Chillie Salt sounds interesting! Sort of a two-for-one!

  • 161. andre | May 19th, 2010 at 5:33 pm | #

    very interested in the bringal pickle as its something ive tried all over the place but peter’s should be brilliant

  • 162. isLa | May 19th, 2010 at 6:42 pm | #

    the Bringal Pickle sounds great with a curry!

  • 163. serenabee | May 19th, 2010 at 6:45 pm | #

    I fancy trying the Ginger Chilli Shallot sauce in a lovely winter warming recipe, it’s bound to warm up the soul as well as the tastebuds – yummo!

  • 164. isLa | May 21st, 2010 at 10:10 am | #

    the Salt & Pepper Rice Flour will definitely be used for salt & pepper squid… yummm

  • 165. Di | May 21st, 2010 at 5:32 pm | #

    Flying Fish Black Pepper Caramel because I can’t resist caramel and black pepper would provide just the right amount of bite!

  • 166. Jenn | May 21st, 2010 at 6:40 pm | #

    Ginger chilli shallot sauce! Sounds nummy!!

  • 167. Sue | May 22nd, 2010 at 9:42 am | #

  • 168. Liny Riantini | May 22nd, 2010 at 9:54 am | #

    I just saw him last night on TV and his seafood was amazing. I would love to try his Ginger Chili Shallot sauce, and a copy of his cook book…..

  • 169. isLa | May 22nd, 2010 at 10:10 am | #

    after watching peter last night on masterchef, i would definitely be wanting to use the ginger chilli shallot sauce on some crustaceans!

  • 170. Carol | May 22nd, 2010 at 12:12 pm | #

    I’m lucky enough to live in W.A. and have a friend who works on a marron farm it’s the ginger chilli shallot sauce for me!

  • 171. Di | May 22nd, 2010 at 3:14 pm | #

    Flying Fish Black Pepper Caramel sounds delicious! Would love to try it on some grilled fish!

  • 173. Jodie Morgan | May 24th, 2010 at 9:01 pm | #

    Flying fish
    In any dish,
    would be so sublime.
    Bringal pickle,
    would make tastebuds tickle,
    a winner every time!

  • 174. isLa | May 25th, 2010 at 11:59 am | #

    so many possibilities with the chilli salt – sprinkle on some fish or even sprinkle on some popcorn!

  • 175. Libby | May 25th, 2010 at 12:41 pm | #

    The Flying Fish Bringal Pickle, only because I have no idea what a ‘Bringal Pickle’ is.

  • 176. Andreas | May 25th, 2010 at 2:08 pm | #

    I had tried the Black pepper caramel at the taste of the sydney as well and It was absolute divine. The sweetness and slight peppery caramel I think complements any desserts that I am going to make. So I will have to say Black Pepper Caramel

  • 177. karen | May 25th, 2010 at 4:55 pm | #

    I really think I need Flying Fish Salt & Pepper flour as I can’t quite perfect a crispy batter for squid and fish. I reckon the book wouldn’t go astray either

  • 178. Rosanne | May 26th, 2010 at 2:18 pm | #

    It’s the Black Pepper Curry Leaf Sauce for me. Tossed in a wok with succulent crabs, and served with homemade bread to mop up all the gravy <3

  • 179. Frances | May 26th, 2010 at 4:44 pm | #

    The heat…the sweet….the Flying Fish Black Pepper Caramel please! Sounds like a food adventure on its own!

  • 180. lynn | May 27th, 2010 at 9:42 am | #

    oooh…this is difficult…. the black pepper caramel sounds exciting…all of it does….sigh..

  • 181. Georgie | May 27th, 2010 at 5:30 pm | #

    Definitely the Cookbook. We love the food at Flying Fish but hardly ever get the chance to go. Being able to cook this at home would be a real treat.

  • 182. Di | May 27th, 2010 at 5:35 pm | #

    Flying Fish Black Pepper Caramel – because the tuna pictured above with this condiment just looks delicious and inspires me to try it out (so I hope I win!).

  • 183. isLa | May 28th, 2010 at 9:18 am | #

    would love to see the recipes in that cookbook and cook some delicious dishes!

    THAT Bringal Pickle SOUND SUPER INTRESTING <3

  • 186. Margaret | May 29th, 2010 at 1:39 pm | #

    The Flying Fish Bringal Pickle. I love making Indian dishes – the hotter and spicier the better. The Flying Fish Bringal pickle would be a great accompaniment, whose flavour would turn my ordinary meals into an Indian banquet.

  • 187. sonia cattley | May 29th, 2010 at 4:00 pm | #

    I’m a procrastinator at heart, so the cookbook is my favorite. Even if the ingrediants spend 3 months in my pantry before I get around to cooking, I can still enjoy the Sri Lankan cuisine now.

  • 188. Hazel | May 29th, 2010 at 5:32 pm | #

    the Serendip cookbook! then I can make lots of scrumptious sri lankan recipes especially steaming curry on a cold winter’s night with the black pepper curry leaf sauce of course. =)

  • 189. monica scurlock | May 29th, 2010 at 6:15 pm | #

    Flying Fish Black Pepper Caramel…how to use it? Thats the fun of cooking!! The finding out!!

  • 191. Kylie | May 29th, 2010 at 7:41 pm | #

    probably the Flying Fish Chillie Salt…..my husband is indian / malaysian and this would last a month in our house!

  • 192. Di | May 30th, 2010 at 2:57 pm | #

    Flying Fish Black Pepper Caramelwould be absolutely delicious as the flavours sound great. YUM!

  • 193. Allison | June 26th, 2010 at 8:10 pm | #

    My Sri Lankan Kitchen- my adopted brother was born in Sri Lanka and is now rediscovering his culture and roots. I would love to learn to cook for him.
