The debut book from Dan Hunter, the celebrated award-winning pioneer of modern Australian food
In the countryside outside Melbourne, Chef Dan Hunter has transformed a rustic farmhouse into the award-winning Brae, one of Australia's most exciting dining destinations. Brae attracts diners from around the world with its fine-dining approach to hyper-local cuisine. In this, his first book, Hunter explores the theme of place and its impact on him and on his unique style of cooking. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Australia's landscape, his story is reflected in lush colour photography of his food and the environment.
Not the style of recipes I would make (very elaborate prep for textural manipulations), and some hyper local ingredients (e.g. wallaby), but it still had enough content of interest for me to adapt that I enjoyed it (wouldn’t buy a copy though).
