The first nutty, buttery avocados of the season are here, with successive varieties arriving as the months become cooler. The fruit matures on the tree but ripens when harvested - firm avocados can take two to six days to ripen at room temperature.

This dish is worth the effort for its originality. For something simpler, roll the tuna in crushed coriander seeds.

I nicked this recipe from my own cookbook Lighten Up, because it's the meal I always turn to when I need something light, gentle, and low in fat that my husband will also eat.

My home remedy for the common cold is based on a Charmaine Solomon recipe. It has loads of garlic and lemon juice and the easiest chicken stock you'll ever make. Add whatever you like; I like udon noodles with lots of chicken and sliced chilli for extra kick.

Here the meat is marinated in a Japanese-style marinade and glazed during cooking with the white miso dressing. Its also suitable for chicken or pork. I like to make a double batch of the miso glaze and use half for a chargrilled eggplant salad. Its also delicious as a dressing for blanched green beans or broccoli.

Shigeo Nonaka worked at Miyako at Southgate for two years before starting CBD restaurant Shoya, where his "nouvelle wafu" cuisine - traditional Japanese with contemporary Western flourishes - immediately helped lift the bar for Japanese dining here. Shigeo gets great satisfaction from passing on his knowledge to younger chefs, and encouraging more Australians to tackle Japanese food.

Miso-enriched broth is an important part of a traditional Japanese breakfast. Kombu - dried deep-sea kelp - and red miso can be bought from Asian food stores, although some types of red miso are available at supermarkets, as are bonito flakes.
