DAN HONG BECAME A CHEF

SO THAT WE MIGHT EAT ...

AND HOW!

Dans appetite for rare sneakers, hip hop and collecting cookbooks is
only surpassed by his passion for everything from fast food to ne dining.
Growing up in the suburbs of Sydney with a food-obsessed family
and a mother who fell into owning a Vietnamese restaurant by chance,
Dan went on to become a critically acclaimed chef. He is the inspiration
behind several of Australias most dynamic restaurants, including Sydneys
Mr Wong, Ms Gs and El Loco.
Its Dans potent mix of proud heritage, technical skill and boundless
enthusiasm for experimenting with big, bold, fresh avours that makes
his approach to food unique.
Mr Hong is as much an exploration of Dans colourful path through
life as it is a beautifully illustrated book of more than 100 punchy recipes
Vietnamese, Chinese, Mexican all re-imagined and re-invigorated for
a new generation of food obsessives.

While there is a layered complexity to world-renowned

chef Peter Gilmores etherealyet grounded
cuisine, his philosophy of cooking is relatively simple.
Just four elements are required to create perfect
unison in a dish: nature, texture, intensity and purity.
Organum invites the reader to share in Peters private
obsession with nature; when not in the kitchen
at Sydneys Quay restaurant, he is working in his
experimental garden, where he grows a huge array
of edible plant species. Each plant, from its sweet,
earthy roots to bitter fronds or fragrant blossoms, is
potentially destined for inclusion in one of the forty
exquisite dishes featured here. The book explores the
many influences on Peters cooking, and introduces
usto the integral people behind the scenes who grow,
catch and source key ingredients on Peters menu.
Images include intensely beautiful food and ingredient
shots, as well as extraordinary location portraits of the
producers and their produce.

From culinary genius Peter Gilmore, one of the top

fifty chefs in the world, comes this eagerly anticipated
book. Quays stunning design and photography
perfectly echoes Peters nature-based philosophy
and the organic presentation that is synonymous
with the fine-dining experience at Quay. Peters
recipes, including the famous Snow egg and his
signature iridescent Sea pearls, will take you on an
inspirational adventure, exploring flavour, texture and
technique. Start with a single component, build to
a showstopping dish or simply enjoy the visual and
culinary journey.

Too many of uschefs and home

cooks alikeplan our meals
around the meat (or protein) and
carbohydrate components, leaving
vegetables to play second fiddle.
Inthis book, chef Matt Wilkinson
lets his favourite twenty-four
vegetables take centre stage.
Whether hes cooking in the kitchen
of his Melbourne eatery Pope Joan
or for his young family at home,
Matt plans and builds his dishes
around the vegetables in season:
when theyll taste the best, and be
cheapest and most readily available.
This beautifully illustrated book will
appeal to vegetarians but its not a
vegetarian cookbook. Among the
more than eighty recipes are plenty
of dishes incorporating meat but
Mr Wilkinsons favourite vegetables
are the true stars.

Sweet Envy is an old-fashioned

sweet parlour, cake shop and
bakehouse rolled into one
destination of zany deliciousness.
Acclaimed pastry chefs and
husband and wife team, Alistair
and Teena cooked and baked
their way around top restaurants
in London and New York before
opening Sweet Envy in their native
Tasmania. Their recipes will help
you expertly recreate their artisan
goods: flaky pork and fennel
sausage rolls, sticky pecan buns,
the perfect croissant, equisite bonbon trolley treats or haute-couture
cakes with lashings of buttery icing.
Their refreshingly anarchic sense
of humour, not usually associated
with the sweet art of baking, is
sprinkled liberally throughout.
A real treat on all fronts.

Paul Mercurio

Paul has a great fondness for beer and a wealth of

knowledge about it. He has spent considerable time
developing recipes in which beer plays a significant
role, not as a gimmick, but as an essential flavouring.
His recipes display a depth of knowledge about
the flavours and qualities of various beers and the
dishes that they best complement. The eighty-plus
recipes include both bold and subtle dishes, from
traditional beer-based favourites such as Lamb
shanks in Guinness, to variations on classics, such
as Beer-braised beef Osso Bucco, to those that use
beer in unexpected but wholly delicious ways, such
as Birramisu and Sticky date pudding.

In seems that dancing is not Paul Mercurios only

passion: his foodie travel show, Mercurios Menu, with
an average viewing audience of around one million
people, would indicate it is a passion widely shared.
Paul takes his viewers on a humour-filled journey
around Australia and parts of New Zealand, seeking
out great regional produce and cooking with the
locals. We have bundled the best of the programs
recipes, imagery and fun facts into a book that is not
only the perfect companion book to the TV show,

Rosa Mitchell

Since its debut in 1993, the Melbourne Food and Wine

Festival has grown from humble beginnings to one of
the worlds premier food and wine events, attracting
400,000 visitors and the most talented Australian
and international chefs each year. Cookingwith
the Worlds Best celebrates the continuing success
of the festival, with a unique collection of recipes,
photographs, quotes and memories. Among others,
contributors to this book include Australian culinary
legends Margaret Fulton, Stephanie Alexander, Neil
Perry, Peter Gilmore, Maggie Beer and Bill Granger,
and internationally recognised celebrities in David
Chang, Nigella Lawson, Elena Arzak, Rick Stein, Carlo
Cracco and Andoni Luiz Aduriz. This memento is the
perfect gift for lovers of the festival and foodies alike.

No time, not enough money, limited equipment:

these are the problems faced by students in the
kitchen. The Illustrated Student Cookbook comes to
the rescue with more than thirty easy, nutritious and
delicious recipes that can all be made in the toaster
oven, microwave or on a hotplate. Each recipe is
accompanied by a full-page photograph of the dish,
plus step-by-step instructions illustrated in comic strip
style. From simple meat and fish dishes, to satisfying
pasta and potato dishes, there are also healthy
homemade versions of a burger, club sandwich,
hummus and salsa, and a few fresh salads and soups.
This playful book demystifies cooking and will keep
students amused and well-fed while leaving some
change in their pockets.

When Italian-born Melbourne chef Rosa Mitchell

and her husband Colin bought their farm in central
Victoria in the late 1980s, they acquired eight
hectares of cleared land running up a volcanic hill,
a few fruit trees and a dilapidated, one-room milking
shed. Within weeks theyd planted grapevines, later
adding Italian varietals, and soon had fruit and olive
trees thriving on the property. The farm, which has
expanded over the years, has always been a special
haven for Rosa and her family, aplace for good
food and wine, and celebratory meals. In this book
she shares more recipes forher favourite Italian
dishes which, like those in the popular MyCousin
Rosa, are simple, traditional, lovingly prepared
andutterly authentic.

When a young girl and her family move from Sicily

to country Australia, it is a surprisingly small step in
kitchen miles. The tablecloth and stockpot are the
same, cardoons and fennel still grow wild on the
roadside and the extended family and neighbours
gather to make salami in the barn once a year. My
Cousin Rosa captures the atmosphere, experiences
and recipes of Rosa Mitchells Sicilian kitchen.
Rosas food is soulful, traditional, family-orientated
and utterly authentic. In this beautiful book, her
thoughts on life, both Australian and Sicilian, are
scattered among the recipes like biscotti crumbs.
Stunning photography of both finished dishes and
the preparation process, gorgeous illustrations
and family photographs complete the book.

The word baking conjures a warm and welcoming

kitchen filled with the paraphernalia of making cakes,
pies and breads. Puffed-up scones, golden sausage rolls,
crusty loaves and dozens of other delights are the keen
bakers rewards. And, if you are not a baker already,
this book will make you so. More than 300 sweet and
savoury baked goods from snacks to full-scale meals
are included, many with step-by-step photos alongside.
Allthe great classics that Grandma used to make are
here, plus more contemporary treats such as the
ubiquitous cupcake in its many incarnations, friands
andstylish slices. Techniques pages explain the basics
of baking and the things that can go wrongand how
to avoid them. Turn on the oven, brandish the wooden
spoon and start baking!

Satisfying is a word that springs to mind when there's

a soup simmering on the stovetop or a casserole
cooking to melting tenderness in the oven. Making
a meal all in one pot is one of the easiest ways to
cook and surely one of the most rewarding. Meat
or seafood, vegetables or pulses, whatever the
ingredient, it benefits from the process of a long,
slow cook, accompanied by aromatic spices or herbs,
a good splash of stock and whatever other secret

Team all that with more than 300 recipes in each title,

150 hidden and stylish venues that make this city
unique. Author and journalist Saska Graville breaks
the city down by village, unveiling the places the

these places share a certain eccentricity, quirkiness
and independence of spirit. Also featured are some
of the Londoners behind the shops, cafs and hotels,

mementos she collected are used to inspire room

In this follow-up to the design classic 50/60/70

IconicAustralian Houses, Karen McCartney has
compiled a selection of significant examples of
Australian houses of the 1970s, 80s and 90s, each
brilliantly photographed and with a depth of coverage
rarely seen before. Featured architects include
Richard Leplastrier, Glenn Murcutt and Wood Marsh.
The books introduction provides social, historical
and architectural context, and a review of each
house features technical and practical aspects of
the design and personal insights from homeowners
and architects, as well as a section focusing on
architectural details.

In 50/60/70 Iconic Australian Houses, Karen

McCartney, founding editor of interiors magazine
Inside Out, presents fifteen significant examples
of homes built in the period from the 1950s to
the 1970s. Each home was designed by a different
architect and combines outstanding architectural
principles and authentic interior design. A detailed
introduction places the period in social, historical
and architectural context and each of the selected
homes is individually reviewed in an informed and
engaging style.

Most Australians live in cities, clinging to the coast

and looking outwards towards the ocean. Yet almost
all of us feel closely connected to the country, even
if we hardly ever visit it. Many of us dream of moving
to rural areas: theres a harshness to much of the
Australian landscape and yet we still feel a sense of
romance about it. For Rural Australian Homes, Leta
Keens travelled around Australia to find the eighteen
houses featured in the book: a wide-ranging and
appealing selection that includes a sheep station that
has been in the same family for 100years, a converted
general store, an adapted shed and award-winning,
architect-designed contemporary houses. Covering
every state and the Northern Territory, Rural Australian
Homes gives a compelling insight into contemporary
life in rural Australia, and offers a glimpse into some of
the history that has defined it.

Still Life
Jane Ussher & Nigel Watson
Still Life is a unique, hauntingly beautiful photographic
study of the Antarctic huts that served as expedition
bases for explorations led by Captain Robert Falcon
Scott and Sir Ernest Shackleton. At the turn of the
twentieth century, Antarctica was the focus of one
of the last great races of exploration and discovery.
In an era known as the heroic age, from 1895 to 1917
Antarctic explorers set off from their huts in search of
adventure, science and gloryalthough some, such as
Scott, were never to return. The World Wars intervened
and the huts were left as time capsules of Edwardian
life. Jane Ussher was invited by the Antarctic Heritage
Trust to record the unusual, the hidden and minutiae
of these sites. The Executive Director of the Trust,
Nigel Watson, provides a fascinating introduction to the
history and description of the atmosphere of each hut.

Russell Drysdale

Looking at Paintings

Lou Klepac

Richard Cottrell

This scholarly and highly illustrated study of Fred

Williams was originally published in 1980, the first
comprehensive and fully researched attempt to
inform a wider public of the significance of Williamss
work. Patrick McCaughey traces Fred Williamss career
from his student days through his years of mature
achievement to the flowering of his art in the last
years of his life. This edition has been fully updated
and includes previously unpublishedwork.

This definitive work on Russell Drysdale, in print

for 26years, has been redesigned with an elegant,
spacious layout to make the paintings come alive
for a new generation. More than 160 colour plates
illustrate the work of this popular and significant
Australian artist, making it an essential possession
for art enthusiastsespecially as the majority of
Drysdales works are held in private collections. This
book traces the career of the unusual and remarkably
gifted Drysdale, discussing both the sources of his
inspiration and the scope of his achievement.

This book draws together an eclectic and highly

personal mix of painters: from Picasso to Carpaccio,
from Cranach to Nolan. The connecting thread
between these diverse works, which span six
centuries, is international theatre director Richard
Cottrells fascination with the human story and an
intense involvement with the human predicament.
To his love of painting he brings an eye trained to
absorb the smallest detail; while the absence
of jargon and technical terminology make this a
delightfully approachable appreciation of art for
the general reader. For the student of any age his
observation, humour and colloquial style will open
new ways of studying, evaluating and, above all,
enjoying the art of painting.

Doug Purdie

Trisha Dixon

Just about anyone can keep bees. All you need is a

bit of space in your backyard (or on your rooftop)
and a little love for the creatures that pollinate the
vegie patches of your neighbourhood. And once
introduced to the charms of beekeeping and the
taste of warm honeycomb direct from the hive, youll
be hooked. Backyard Bees is the ultimate guide to
installing and maintaining a hive through the seasons.
It includes extensive advice on choosing a hive and
the equipment you need; case studies and anecdotes
from beekeepers from all walks of life; as well as 20
delicious recipes for all that honey, from Toasted
honey granola to Bees knees cocktails.

Adagio is a charming muse on slow gardening and

the importance of slowing down and enjoying life.
At the same time, it has an environmental message
regarding living ethically and sustainably. This message
is delivered in Trisha Dixons inimitable style, as she
seamlessly blends personal anecdotes with musings
and facts, drawing on her gardening background and
her wide-ranging interests in philosophy, music, art,
nature and the environment. Adagio will appeal to
gardeners and dreamers alike and to everyone, in fact,
who yearns for a more environmentally attuned life.

place are essential ingredients
in creating the most successful
of them. As well as revealing the
stories behind the gardens, Rural

practical horticultural information
on using trees, hedges, shrubs,
perennials and groundcovers in
rural settings around Australia.

The coastal gardens of Australia

Victorias Mornington Peninsula
and the sheer cliffs of Sydneys
Dover Heights to an old coppermining town in South Australia

others by enthusiastic amateurs,
but all entirely appropriate to
their location and often difficult
conditions. Also included is an

The Weekend Artist

Jane Austens Sewing Box

Gerard Smith

Jennifer Forest

Better known as the guy in the art shop, Gerard

Smith introduces beginning artists to the world of
paint in this unpretentious, practical guide. Gerard
offers creative inspiration, techniques and simple
projects designed to help unleash your inner artist.
Stripping away the jargon, Gerard demonstrates basic
techniques and materials in a range of contemporary
and very achievable projects that would be a bold
addition to any home.

Jane Austens Sewing Box opens a window into the

lives of Regency women during a beautiful period in
arts, crafts and design. Jennifer Forest examines Jane
Austens novels and letters to reveal a world where
women are gripped by crazes for painting on glass
and netting purses, economise by trimming an old
bonnet, or eagerly turn to their sewing to avoid an
uncomfortable conversation. Based on Jane Austens
novels and with illustrated step-by-step instructions
for eighteen craft projects, this beautifully presented
book will delight Jane Austen fans, lovers of history
and literature and craft enthusiasts alike.

Colour

David Darcy

David Darcy

Victoria Alexander

Victoria Alexander

From Tassie to the Top End, through the outback

towns of Coober Pedy and Tennant Creek, to the
coastal retreats of Fremantle, Cairns and Byron Bay
and taking in the capital cities along the way, authorphotographer David Darcy has traversed the the
continent in search of women who have doggy tales
to share. A Girls Best Friend showcases a cross-section
of women and their dogs, from all over the country
and from all walks of life. All these women have one
thing in common: a loving, compassionate bond with
their dogswho are not simply dogs, but members
of the family. The result is a series of wonderfully
spontaneous and candid portraits of women and
their canine companionsrescue dogs, familypets,
working dogs orfaithful guardians.

Australian Mongrel is a photographic and narrative

exploration of Australias relationship with this beloved
icon. Renowned dog photographer David Darcy
explores the lives of a diverse range of dogs, from
working dogs to suburban canines; Aboriginal camp
dogs to the ordinary Aussie mongrel. Accompanying
the dogs are a cross section of people who share
their lives with mans best friend, and the many stories
and yarns that go with them. Featuring ordinary
working folk, mums and dads, Indigenous people and
homeless people, their narratives are often funny,
sometimes heroic, frequently heartfelt and moving,
but always worth telling. Australian Mongrel is also a
showcase for the Australian landscape.

One is a celebration of individuality and life. Author

Victoria Alexander writes with humour and wisdom
about the importance of believing in and valuing
oneself. She reminds us to trust in ourselves, try
things on for size, take risks and ask for what we
want: after all, we might just get it. At its heart, this
beautifully layered collection of stories, quotes,
reflections and evocative images is about the power
of choice and about enjoying life, with all its shifts
and changes. Its message is universal: accept who
you are and who you can be, whether you live alone,
or whether you are one of many.

Colour is intrinsically linked to how individuals make

sense of the world. It has the power to completely
transform mood, often subliminally. Its capable of
being energetic or restful, passive or aggressive,
harmonious or dull, and thats just the beginning.
Colour explores the implications, history and cultural
meanings of colour. With chapters on individual
colours, their history and their influence, Colour
will inspire you to make creative choices in your
wardrobe, your home and your life. Lyrically written
and thoughtfully illustrated with photography
by VictoriaAlexander (stylist, fashion editor and
passionate traveller), Colour is interspersed with
poignant reminders on how to use colour to
transform your mood and brighten your life.

Never a Dull Moment

Tips from your Nana

Robyn Paterson

The Great Barrier Reef

Man vs Life

Sarah Baker

Len Zell

Rob Pegley

The Great Barrier Reef really is like nowhere else on

earth. It is a massive, complex ecosystem, and one
that has gone through enormous changes throughout
the history and evolution of our planet. Produced in
partnership with the BBCs Great Barrier Reef television
series, the book takes you on a journey along
2,300kilometres of Australias north-eastern coastline,
through the diverse range of habitats that make up
this extraordinary water world. Along the way, discover
how the Great Barrier Reef was formed, learn about
life on the Reef, and meet the plants and animals
that inhabit it. The Great Barrier Reef also looks at
the environmental challenges facing this incredibly
delicate ecosystem, and what the future may hold.
Illustrated in spectacular full-colour photography
throughout, The Great Barrier Reef features hints and
tips on how to make the most out of any trip to the
Reef, making it the ultimate guide to one of the most
treasured natural wonders of the world.

Man vs Life is a humorous snapshot of the typical mans

life: overweight, married with children, bills to pay, on
the verge of mid-life crisis. In early life, our predicted
career choices were bold, physical and involved travel
and conflict: everything we avoid in our careers now.
How did fun without consequences, wasting time
without guilt or fear of responsibilities come to this?
A sedentary job, looking at reports and spreadsheets,
asking yourself why you are slogging away in a job you
dont enjoy to buy things you dont need to impress
people you dont like? Referencing life through middlemanagement jargon such as SWOT analysis, 360-degree
feedback and direct lines of reportingand made
up of graphs, pie charts, flow charts, Venn diagrams,
bullet points and tablesRob observes issues such as:
the criteria you apply when considering the correct
strategic fit in any spousal mergers; $ value of Christmas
presents received vs age; the frequency of masturbation
vs age (a straight horizontal line ). This is an endearing
observation of mid-life crisis man.

Packed with more than 200 ingenious games and

entertainments, Never a Dull Moment will take you
back to a time before computers and television,
when families devised innovative ways to entertain
each other. All you need is your imagination, a spirit
of fun and a few practical items that you might find
in your parlourpens and paper, a dictionary, a box
of matches and some candles. With games that are
delightful entertainment for all ages, Never a Dull
Moment will provide hours of fun for the whole family.

Wanting to grow your own vegies? Wondering how

to make jam? Thinking, Hmm backyard chickens?
Well, snuggle up under your patchwork quilt with a
glass of elderflower champers and Nana (and friends)
will show you how. Tips from your Nana is a fun, quirky,
must-have household bible to keep close at hand.
With simple instructions and pointers from those
who have been there, done that, it is a practical,
step-by-step guide covering a wide range of lifestyle
basics. Full of irresistible ideas, from old-fashioned
lemonade to homemade body scrub, the book
doesnt call for special equipment or ingredients.
Whether you live in a palatial mansion or a studio
apartment on the seventieth floor, you can do it!

Eaten by a Giant Clam

Joseph Cummins
The history of natural science
is often a case of truth being
stranger than fiction. There are
countless adventure stories to
be told, rollicking tales of men
and women risking life and limb
in the name of science and in
the cause of broadening human
knowledge. Eaten by a Giant
Clam focuses on the work of
these natural scientists in the
field. It comprises 22 stories, with
a focus on the heyday of natural
history endeavours between
the eighteenth and twentieth
centuries. This fascinating book
ranges in content from the
humorous to the tragic, from
the virtually unbelievable to
theinspirational.

The Roots of
Civilisation
John Newton
They feed us, shelter us, cure us
and clean the air that we breathe.
The Roots of Civilisation takes
a closer look at the plants that
most of us take for granted, but
which have changed the world, for
better and for worse. The Roots of
Civilisation looks not only at the
better known world-changers like
opium, tobacco, cotton and the
orchid, but also at humbler flora
that have quietly but profoundly
shaped human civilisation.
