Australia Cooks by Kelli Brett

DESCRIPTION:

There's no doubt that the food culture in regional Australia is flourishing. From Capricornia to Tasmania, the Kimberley to the Hunter, our food growers and artisans supply us with some of the best produce the world has to offer. And now, in Australia Cooks, the locals get to share their best-kept secrets, favourite ingredients and most-treasured recipes with the rest of the country.

Featuring the best recipes sent in by ABC Local Radio listeners, as well as stories and recipes from chefs who have built their businesses on championing home-grown produce and provedores, Australia Cooks is a celebration of those three crucial ingredients -- passionate people, beautiful fresh food and stunning landscapes -- that make our food culture so vibrant and unique.
