Description

The very best Australian produce is showcased in this collection of recipes and stories. Travelling around Australia on food safari for the ABC Rural Radio show The Cold Esky Challenge, Louise visited food producers of all descriptions and discovered the secrets of truffle finding, mango growing and fish farming. On her way she collected over 80 treasured recipes from local chefs, CWA members and the producers themselves, who have perfected ways of cooking their produce over many years. This book will give insights into a way of life that urban dwellers know little about and take us into the agricultural heartland of Australia as well as offering authentic recipes from the people who know the produce best.
