Surfing the Menu is based on the exciting eight-part cookery series of the same name, in which two talented chefs, Curtis Stone and Ben O'Donoghue, travel the rugged land and scenic coastline of Australia, sourcing local produce and cooking up a storm. Each chapter is drawn from one program of the series, incorporating the recipes used, the places visited, and the people met along the way. With Australia now considered a hot spot for innovative cooking and includign stunning location shots, this book is a ideal for foodies and fans of this beautiful continent. The culinary creativity of the Stone and O’Donoghue are wonderfully evident in these dishes, from Pink-Eye Potato, Olive and Caper Salad (Tasmania) to Barbecued Hot and Sour Tuna Escalopes (the Abrolhos Islands) to Pear and Macadamia Nut Crumble (Byron Bay). It's all regional, seasonal, and scrumptious, presented step-by-step and illustrated with captivating color photographs throughout.

Wonderful book!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Surfing the Menu: Two Chefs, One Journey: A Fresh Food Adventure (Hardcover)
This is a great book for every cook and surf enthusiast alike. Really great, creative recipes with stories and pictures to go with. Some are very complex and should probably be reserved for special occasions only, but regardless it's a great book to add to your collection or simply keep on the coffee table!

Is this a cookbook?,

This review is from: Surfing the Menu: Two Chefs, One Journey: A Fresh Food Adventure (Hardcover)
While fans of the authors and the show might love this book as a keepsake, I doubt that anyone will use it for much cooking. As a previous reviewer noted, the ingredients called for are hard to find and expensive for the average home cook. In addition, these recipes were created using metric measurements, and I often find that unless you re-test the recipes using American measurements (which are also given) the recipes do not come out very well. I am not willing to spend a lot of money on ingredients unless the authors can guarantee the result will be worth it, and is this case I have my doubts.
