If your new year's resolution is to eat healthier foods, you won’t have to worry with this nutritious sashimi salad. Sashimi is usually low in fat and calories and high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. This beautiful dish is so simple to make and will make your dinner table look like a work of art! Tuna & Hamachi Sashimi Salad (served checkerboard style) is one of the creations of Chef Andrew Pastore at Sterling Steakhouse, one of contemporary Hollywood's hottest new restaurants.
About the Chef: A native of Brooklyn, Andrew Pastore segued into professional kitchens as dishwasher and a short order cook in his teens. After a brief stint at an arts magnet school in Manhattan, Pastore enlisted in the New York Restaurant School. Pastore credits mentors such as Jean-George Vongerichten, owner of the haute JoJo and Vong; Neil Murphy of the Blue Water Grill and John Dilio of the French-Asian influenced Zoë as pivotal mentors in his life. After six years, Pastore packed his bags and headed west for California.
During his three-year stint at Wolfgang Puck's Granita as Executive Sous-Chef, Pastore designed the menus, ran the kitchen and got a taste of what it takes to call the shots. Soon Pastore began organizing and cooking at off-site parties for the likes of Kenny G., Sugar Ray Leonard and Martin Short. These experiences led to a stint at Michael’s in Santa Monica and The Sunset Room in 2001.

Pastore believes in utilizing the local markets, incorporating organic produce and integrating elements of favored French, Asian and Italian ingredients. "Restaurants need to evolve, try new things, but still keep their finger on the pulse of the customer." The 30 year old Pastore is currently involved at the Pig'n Whistle, Hollywood's White Lotus, and has recently been named Executive Chef of Sterling Steakhouse in Hollywood which opened in July 2005.
When not busy heating up the kitchens, he loves to draw, create new art for his tattoos and focus his attention on his two-year-old daughter.
