Chia seeds and oily fish are packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, which help your heart, brain and eyes, so it’s the perfect food for a chef! As a chef I’ve eaten so poorly all my career that I feel compelled to promote some good eating habits among my colleagues. Of course, food should be pleasurable and indulgent but I am learning that balance keeps you in the game longer and allows you to enjoy your life. We haven’t embraced mackerel in Australia yet, but it’s having somewhat of a resurgence in Europe. Refried beans essentially mellow the oily flavours of the fish, as does the pomegranate mojo. Salmon would be a terrific replacement for the mackerel.
