Since its beginnings nearly eight years ago, Neil Perry's award-winning restaurant Rockpool has redefined Australian cuisine. Rockpool food is one of the New World, rejoicing in the diversity of modern-day Australia, and the quality and range of produce available. It is a meeting of Western tradition and Eastern technique, and the masterpieces Perry creates are a harmony and celebration of the two.
In this book, Perry shares his recipes for over 100 dishes, for everything from canapes to desserts. Included are Rockpool signature dishes such as herb and spice tuna with eggplant and salad, king prawn and goat's cheese tortellini, tea-smoked ocean trout with spring onion cake and frozen espresso cake. The imaginative - but never complicated - recipes have been written with an eye to the domestic kitchens, and will inspire you at home.
'Rockpool' is part culinary journey, part reflection and a celebration of the possibilities of cooking.
