As a favoured holiday destination for Peter and his family for many years, it seemed only natural that he would one day call Noosa home. And it was the lure of a restaurant that made it happen.
Now the host of the brand-new SBS series Peter Kuruvita's Coastal Kitchen shares his passion for fresh local produce at Noosa Beach House Peter Kuruvita.
"I am proud to call this place home and so excited about being able to devise menus that are local," Peter explains.
With a restaurant and bar available, the menu changes regularly to reflect Peter's travels. The Beach House combines local and international flavours (Peter's Five Pot Curry is particularly popular) with a dash of coastal flair. And what a better way to celebrate his Coastal Kitchen series, than with a Coastal Kitchen dinner event recently. Here's what was on show!
If you weren't part of the lucky crowd at the dinner, never fear. Noosa Beach House is offering pretty much Peter on a plate. You can expect local seafood of mud crab, lobsters, bugs just to start, native herbs, vibrant cocktails, authentic Sri Lankan curries... and everyone is welcome!
Each afternoon from 3pm you can have a chef shuck oysters to order; weekends you can enjoy a decadent seafood platter with locally caught produce and if you are in the mood for hearty and shareable then Peter's weekend Five Pot Curry extravaganza offers up authentic Sri Lankan curries served family-style.
And after all of this, if you're feeling inspired to bring Coastal Kitchen to your home, then you can with recipes from the series available right here. We've got steamed mud crabs with ginger, chilli and shallot sauce, Sri Lankan egg curry, macadamia and mandarin cake with cinnamon syrup and more!
Peter Kuruvita's Coastal Kitchen starts 8pm, Thursday 21 June on SBS and then you can catch-up on SBS On Demand. Visit the program page for recipes, videos and more.
