Award-winning chef Scott Pickett's mantra to bust stress: Meditation and regular exercise

Scott Pickett, the award-winning two Hat Chef, author and television host, was recently in Mumbai where he ticked off an item on his bucket list - trying a Bombay Duck. He says, "Having tried a lot of Indian food already in Melbourne, I still had a longing to try this local favourite and I'm proud to say that I ticked that off this trip as I had it for the first time. I'm also very eager to taste the street food of Mumbai and Delhi."

Pickett, who runs four restaurants in Melbourne says that while things get hectic in the kitchen, he has a sure-fire way to keep stress at bay. Pickett says, "I make it a point to do a little bit of meditation these days along with regular exercise to keep me going through the stress and high pressure that the kitchen puts me through." What's one meal that every man should be able to make? "Smashed avocado," says Pickett. "It's perfect for a good, simple and healthy breakfast or even as a side with your lunch or dinner.

But you definitely need to get the seasoning right with salt, pepper, lime juice and some good local olive oil.".
