Lennox Hastie, the acclaimed chef celebrated for his mastery of wood-fired cooking, has a distinct preference when it comes to envisioning his last meal on earth.

Known for his Sydney restaurant Firedoor, Hastie would choose a simple yet exquisite dish: a perfectly grilled whole fish, sourced from pristine waters, and complemented with a side of fresh, seasonal vegetables, all cooked over an open flame to enhance their natural flavours.
