Why You'll Love UNCHOPPED

Hey, I'm Justin Jennings, Australian born restaurant owner, executive & private chef based in Portugal, winner of "The World Cook" TV competition, and owner of the acclaimed Downunder by Justin Jennings restaurant in Lisbon. This cookbook contains my unfiltered life story mixed with practical, delicious recipes that anyone can master. From my early days fishing off the Australian coast to opening restaurants in Hong Kong and settling in Portugal, every page is infused with the experiences that shaped my love for fresh, bold flavors.

Real Stories, No Fluff: Dive into my journey from a small-town kid in Port Macquarie, learning to fillet fish at age 10, to becoming Young Chef of the Year at 23 and conquering global competitions. It's honest, inspiring, and full of those "aha" moments that make cooking fun.

Over 100 Recipes: Uncut gems from my Michelin restaurant, including competition winners like Kangaroo Tartar, fresh seafood fusions, and modern Australian twists. Think global influences from Asia, Europe, and beyond all using accessible ingredients.

For Every Cook: Whether you're prepping a family meal or hosting a fancy dinner, these recipes are straightforward, with tips on everything from sous vide techniques to sourcing fresh produce.

Published in december 2025, this 229-page paperback is hand written and self-published.

Pre-Kitchen Days – Fishing Lessons: "Picture a young lad, barely into double digits, standing on the edge of the water, fishing rod in hand... Today, with the finesse to scale, fillet, and debone a fish in under a minute, I recall the journey from those early days of clumsy attempts..."

Farm Life and Grandfatherly Wisdom: "School holidays meant a shift from the classroom to the countryside... The flavour of home-grown fruits and vegetables left a lasting impression." And from "Ails of Cattle and Grandfatherly Wisdom": "In the story of my childhood, one vibrant man stands out... Cows, despite their immense size, exuded a certain beauty and tranquillity."

My Kitchen Initiation: "Growing up as the son of a short-order cook... shared moments in the kitchen were the solid building blocks laying the foundation for a lengthy and prosperous career."

The Leap into Professional Life: "Seven years elapsed... My official cooks apprenticeship has begun at age 21!" (Featuring a photo from that day.)

From Cooking College to global Competitions: "Around half a year into my apprenticeship, the seeds of passion... Unbeknownst to me at that time, these early competition experiences would provide a wealth of knowledge... on the grand stage of a TV show 'The World Cook'.

These teasers are just the beginning – the full book dives deeper into my moves to Brisbane, meeting my wife Sofia, our weddings in Portugal and Australia, starting a family, and launching my career in Europe. Plus more than 100 recipes that includes step-by-step instructions to recreate my signature dishes.
