Strictly focused on fine produce

PEOPLE still ask Paul Mercurio about Strictly Ballroom, the hugely successful 1992 Baz Luhrmann film that made the suave former Sydney Dance Company star a household name.

But these days it's food rather than acting or dancing that's dominating his life.

His interest in food stretches back to his time as a 16-year-old head chef at a Red Rooster restaurant. "Basically I was the young bloke who gets paid $1.40 an hour to cook and clean everything. I worked hard and when I was 17 I'd earned enough money to buy my own motorbike."

THE Tweed's famous oysters, fish and mud crabs will be the stars of an episode of Mercurio's Menu filmed at Salt yesterday.

Strictly Ballroom star and former Dancing with The Stars judge Paul Mercurio brought his unique cooking and travel show to the Tweed for a look at the area's produce and natural beauty.

In the popular Channel 7 show, the self-described home cook travels around Australia, teaming up with popular chefs to cook up a storm using locally grown-and-caught produce.

For the Salt segment, Fins@Salt celebrity chef Steven Snow joined Mr Mercurio on camera to cook locally caught oyster and mud crab with the help of native finger limes and lemon myrtle.

Great links from great fans!

Thank you, Liza, for gathering these links together. This is some SUPER stuff. Oh, and while I'm at it: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PAUL (a day late, here in the U.S.).

First, here's the website for Paul's latest show, Mercurio's Menu, where Paul travels the food trail, spotlighting local cuisine. And the picture on the About page is adorable.

Dancing with the Stars has a delicious page of videos from and about the show, including Craig and Paul on Good Morning.

Some slightly older stuff...

And here are two unmissables:

Food Trail Recipe Book in PDF format, ready for printing, and a clip from Astonish Me, Graeme Murphy showing footage from Some Rooms, and Paul talking about Murphy.

Fantastic! Thank you again, Liza!
