Peter Kuruvita returns to SBS with Coastal Kitchen
Following on from successful series' My Sri Lanka, Island Feast and Mexican Fiesta, Peter Kuruvita makes a return to SBS screens
I am so excited to be able to share the fresh flavours of local produce from my new home on the Sunshine Coast with SBS audiences. Tropical and coastal like my usual playground of Sri Lanka and the Pacific, the range of produce is diverse and the producers are passionate about the environment and sustainability. From the pristine coast line to the fertile hinterland, come with me on a journey of discovery through some of Queensland's most picturesque locations and diverse food regions. - Peter Kuruvita
Peter Kuruvita's Coastal Kitchen is a celebration of Peter's new sea change lifestyle and local produce in the Sunshine Coast and hinterlands.
Having bid farewell to city life and moved to the tropical seaside town of Noosa, chef and restaurateur, Peter Kuruvita heads out to meet the community of passionate producers to discover more about the fresh local produce that has made this region one of the most exciting new foodie destinations in Australia.
Heading back to his kitchen, Peter transforms rich, local ingredients like spanner crabs, Mooloolaba prawns, macadamia nuts, tropical fruits, heirloom vegetables, native herbs and spices and more into a delightful array of dishes for any occasion.
Discover Noosa, Gympie, Hinterlands of Maleny and Kenilworth, Mooloolaba, the Glasshouse Mountains and Kin Kin like never before with the warm and energetic Peter Kuruvita.
Peter Kuruvita's Coastal Kitchen is produced by The Precinct Studios for SBS.

Peter Kuruvita
Peter began his love affair with food and discovered his passion for cooking in the traditional kitchen of his ancestral home in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
After three decades as an award-winning chef and restaurateur, Peter has diversified his career to encompass the roles of TV presenter, author, industry speaker and restaurant consultant.
Peter is well known for his time at Sydney's iconic Flying Fish Restaurant & Bar which he opened in 2004, and successfully led the kitchen team as Executive Chef for eight years.
Peter's love of the Pacific and passion for seafood led to the opening of Flying Fish at Sheraton Fiji Resort in 2008, listed on Tripadvisor as one of the Top 10 Restaurants in the Pacific Region.
Flying Fish Tokoriki located at Sheraton Resort & Spa, Tokoriki Island, Fiji followed in 2014.
Peter's signature style of fresh quality seafood, stunning ambience and beachside locations can also be experienced in Australia in his new hometown of Noosa at Noosa Beach House, Sofitel.
In 2016 Peter's restaurant portfolio will expand across the Pacific to yet another idyllic beachfront location at The Sheraton Samoa Aggie Grey's Hotel & Bungalows located in the centre of the picturesque town of Apia.
Peter's childhood experiences cooking with his grandmother in the traditional kitchen of his ancestral home in Colombo, Sri Lanka inspired his first cookbook Serendip - My Sri Lankan Kitchen.
His next cookbook My Feast with Peter Kuruvita takes food lovers on a culinary and cultural journey through the island communities of Asia and the South Pacific.
Peter has presented three television series, My Sri Lanka with Peter Kuruvita, Island Feast with Peter Kuruvita and Mexican Fiesta with Peter Kuruvita, produced by The Precinct Studios for SBS Television, which all air on many networks worldwide.
