Hello, I’m Scott Crump, the chef and creator behind The Coastal Table Collection.

With 40 years of experience in hospitality, I’ve spent my career bringing people together through food. My journey has taken me from hotel and restaurant kitchens to healthcare, aged care, private dining and running my own award-winning boutique accommodation business.

Along the way, I’ve had some unforgettable experiences, including cooking for the late Queen Mother during my time at The Goring Hotel in London. But the most rewarding part of hospitality has always been the same: creating food that people enjoy and making them feel welcome around the table.

Based on the beautiful Central Coast of New South Wales, I created The Coastal Table Collection to share that experience with you through recipe eBooks full of flavour, inspiration and practical guidance.

My approach to cooking is simple: good food should be enjoyable to prepare, generous in flavour and a pleasure to share. Whether you’re adding something special to a weekday meal, gathering friends for a relaxed lunch or planning a celebration, I want to help you cook with confidence.

My first recipe eBook, Dress It - Dip It - Rub It, brings that philosophy to life with dressings, dips, sauces and rubs to give everyday meals a delicious lift. There are more collections on the way, inspired by a lifetime in hospitality and a love of entertaining.

Thank you for supporting my work and welcoming my recipes into your kitchen.
