An Aussie icon of dining
This is a fabulous cookbook from the owner and head chef at the beautiful 'Aria' restaurant in Sydney. If you are in Sydney and enjoy fine food it is a must-visit with its fabulous location on the harbour and exquisite use of local Aussie produce.

inspiring photos
I really wanted to like this cookbook and give it 5 stars, but some recipes didn't work. The photos are inspiring and makes you want to cook. But I sort of have a feeling that there was more than one person creating and cooking for the photos. I tried the rhubarb crumble. The photo is appetizing, but the 3 steps to making it weren't worth the time, effort, or...

This is a fabulous cookbook from the owner and head chef at the beautiful 'Aria' restaurant in Sydney. If you are in Sydney and enjoy fine food it is a must-visit with its fabulous location on the harbour and exquisite use of local Aussie produce.
This cookbook details Matt's belief in using excellent produce simply in order to highlight texture and taste. The book is divided into 9 chapters being 1)Canapes, 2)Soups, 3)Salads and Light Meals, 4)Pasta, Risotto & Gnocchi, 5)Seafood, 6)Poultry & Game, 7)Meat, 8)Desserts and 9)Basic Recipes. The recipes are not for beginners but having said that you do not need to be an experienced chef to cook them as they stem from what Matt cooks at home and therefore are often a simple concept just using the right ingredients. I have made the Fig, Baby Bean, Prosciutto, Blue Cheese and Rocket Salad and the Citrus-cured Salmon with Fennel and Orange Salad to much praise. Perfect fare for an Aussie (or Canadian or USA summer). Highly recommended for those that like inventive and honest food.

But I sort of have a feeling that there was more than one person creating and cooking for the photos. I tried the rhubarb crumble. The photo is appetizing, but the 3 steps to making it weren't worth the time, effort, or ingredients. The timing was off for poaching the rhubarb in the oven. I think the recipes need to be worked on more. I am an intermediate level cook.

Great fine dining book that isn't too complex!,

This is an awesome book. Some fantastic recipes - my favourite so far is the tomato consomme with gnocchi. Beautiful pictures and good descriptions of technique. I can't wait to get his more recent one (hint hint Amazon - get it in!)
