Crumbed Flathead Fillets with Spicy Zhoug Dressing
Method
Step 1
Cut the crusts off the Country Life Gluten Free Bread, then dice the slices. Place them in the Robot Coupe on a high speed until they form fine breadcrumbs. Using fresh breadcrumbs gives you a nicer texture once the product has been cooked.
Step 2
To make the zhoug dressing, place the ground cumin into a bowl, along with ground cardamom, garlic cloves, pepper, caster sugar and parsley leaves. Slice the chillies down the middle, then chop them finely and add them to the ingredients. Blitz the ingredients while drizzling in some olive oil. Once it has formed a nice puree, squeeze half a lemon juice.
Step 3
Portion the flathead fillets by horizontally slicing them into strips. Lightly dust the flathead fillets with White Wings Cornflour, then place them into an egg wash and then into the breadcrumbs. Ensure all of the fillets are coated with the breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Pour the Simply Vegetable Oil into a pan and preheat on a medium heat. Once the oil begins to boil, add the flathead fillets and keep them on the heat until they begin to crisp. Once they are golden all-over, place them on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.

WHAT IS A RECIPE CALCULATOR?
A recipe calculator works out what a dish costs to make and what it needs to sell for to turn a profit. Some tools under that name are really a recipe converter, turning ounces and teaspoons into metric, or a recipe multiplier that scales quantities up or down, or a nutrition calculator returning the energy and carbohydrate count per serve. Ours is a recipe cost calculator. Enter your ingredient costs and servings, and you get a total cost, a cost per serve, and the margin behind your selling price.
HOW TO USE OUR RECIPE CALCULATOR
Enter your recipe name, method and serving size, and the number of servings the recipe makes.
Select “+ Add Ingredient” to build your ingredient list, then enter the quantity purchased and cost of goods for each item.
Enter the quantity your recipe actually uses for each ingredient, in grams, millilitres or each.
Select Calculate to see your total cost across the batch, plus the same figure with GST added and your cost per serve. This is where the calculator divides your total batch cost by your number of servings, converting it into a cost per portion.
Enter a Selling Price per serve to see your Food Gross Profit, Food Markup percentage and Total Generated Profit.
WHY FOODSERVICE BUSINESSES USE OUR RECIPE CALCULATOR
Cafes and quick service kitchens change their menus often, and costing a new dish properly before it launches matters more than costing it quickly. Catering and events businesses price the same recipe at different scales throughout the year, a function for ten one week and an event for two hundred the next. Enter the servings for each job, and the calculator handles that recipe scaling without you reworking your ingredient list from scratch.
Bakeries producing large batches need to know the per-unit cost still holds as bakery ingredient prices shift. Contract caterers working to a fixed per-meal budget, such as aged care or education providers, can check a recipe against that budget before it goes into a wider meal planner or seasonal menu.
Across all of these, the value is the same. You get a cost per serve and a margin you can trust, built from your actual supplier pricing rather than an estimate.
Browse our recipes for menu inspiration, then cost them here before you commit to a price.
WHAT MAKES OUR RECIPE CALCULATOR DIFFERENT
Most recipe cost calculators are standalone software with no link to where you actually buy. Ours sits within Goodman Fielder Food Service, a foodservice supplier. Once you’ve priced a recipe and know your numbers, you’re already talking to the team that supplies the ingredients themselves. If a margin looks tighter than expected, that’s a conversation about ingredient pricing you can have straight away.
