Kingfish ceviche with pickled vegetables
Method
Pickled Vegetables
Step 1:
Shred ribbons with your carrots, slice the radishes into thin circles.
Step 2:
To make your pickling solution, combine 250ml of Cornwells Apple Cider Vinegar, a pinch of salt, 20g white sugar, warm water, bay leaves, thyme stalks and mustard seeds.
Step 3:
Place your vegetables into the solution and allow to sit for 1 hour.
Step 4:
For plating, drain the solution and serve the vegetables with the dish and as a garnish.
Cornwells Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing
Step 1:
Mix 100ml extra virgin olive oil, 10ml lemon juice, 10ml Cornwells Apple Cider Vinegar, 10g finely chopped chives, dijon mustard, chopped chervil and salt and pepper to taste.
Step 2:
Once it has all combined, place into a bottle for service.
Kingfish Ceviche
Step 1:
Remove skin and cut the kingfish length ways, so you are left with the loin and the belly. Place aside the loin for an alternate dish and use the belly for the ceviche.
Step 2:
Cut the belly into cubes and place in an iced bowl to keep the fish cool. Cut enough fish according to your portion size – approx 90gm per person.
Step 3:
Combine the diced fish with 50 grams of the finely diced eschallots right before service.
Avocado And Wasabi Puree
Step 1:
Blend the avocado, wasabi, 125ml milk, 10ml lemon juice and 25ml extra virgin olive oil until it forms a thick, smooth consistency. Then, place into a bottle for service.
Creme Fraiache Puree
Step 1:
Combine creme fraiche, 10ml extra virgin olive oil, 50ml milk and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until it forms a smooth sauce and place into a bottle for service.
Puffed Amaranth
Step 1:
Place the amaranth in a pot on a medium heat and continually stir until all the amaranth has puffed. Set aside until service time.
Serving the Kingfish Ceviche
Step 1:
Dress the cubed kingfish with the Cornwells Apple Cider Vinegar dressing and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
Step 2:
Place the kingfish in a mould on the plate, and sprinkle with puffed amaranth, remove mould and garnish plate with pickled vegetables.

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.
