-our mission-
To assist the Port Stephens community and the broader community to understand what’s fresh, local, and sustainable. Through education and easy recipe selection, this will enable these communities to make better, informed purchasing choices that will support our sustainable fishing practices.
A percentage of port to plate seafood cookbook profits will be directed to supporting various charities that fit with our mission. We are very proud to announce Oceanwatch Australia as our first charity chosen.
OceanWatch Australia - a non-for-profit organisation that works on a broad range of projects to help improve environmental practices, protect marine species, introduce sustainable technologies, help change behaviours, and restore our marine habitats. www.oceanwatch.org.au

Our open forum and shared platform allows members to share and learn from each other as well as from our expert chefs and seafood producers.

Creator & Author - Lynda Sloan
Extensive experience in a cross-section of business sectors including non-for-profits and hospitality. Her passion for food and fresh produce continues as she works part-time in the seafood industry. "The idea of writing a seafood cookbook with community support seemed a natural step forward,” says Lynda. “It involved bringing a group of passionate, skilled individuals together, collaborating to produce what I describe as a beautifully balanced artisan cookbook for Port Stephens communities and beyond.
What's to come - as the website matures and new, exciting product lines are introduced, I am excited to continue the collaboration with artists and new creatives using port to plate as the platform.
Who knows? Another cookbook might well be on the drawing board.
