Cookbook Review: Hungry by Guy Mirabella

October 19, 2011 – 6:32 pm

My rating 4 stars

This is one of the most creative and beautifully presented books I’ve seen from an Australian publisher. It is visually stunning combining artwork and food in a gorgeous way.

This relatively slim volume covers modern Italian Australian cuisine in a tasteful semi-posh way. This is an ideal book for anyone who fancies themselves a cross between Picasso and Jamie Oliver (but grown up).

Cookbook Review: 2010 Cookbook of the Year: Around My French Table

August 16, 2011 – 5:14 pm

My rating 4 1/2 stars


This book is old school i.e. it’s similar to books from the 60’s and 70’s in that there are hardly any pictures and there’s an overdose of words. (bye bye Gen Y, LOL, LMAO).  I would have cooked more than one recipe but typing out one gave me carpel tunnel.
