Book Description
Food lovers know that Australia is the next outpost on the culinary frontier--and that the charming Bathers Pavilion Restaurant, on the beach at Balmoral, is at the forefront of the New Australian Cuisine. Located in a historic building, this unique restaurant and its cuisine have drawn visitors from around the world since it opened in 1988.
Here you will find eclectic dishes blending tastes from the Pacific Rim with Mediterranean accents and the freshest local herbs and produce to create a signature style that has won glowing reviews from visitors and critics alike. Indeed, the New York Times praised the Pavilion's harbour-view setting and "sumptuous" desserts, adding that "the menu and wine list are as outstanding as the view."
This cookbook presents more than 70 of the restaurant's most popular dishes. Innovative and refined, these recipes are also surprisingly easy to prepare in the home kitchen, using ingredients readily available in any supermarket.
Sumptuous colour photography and illustrations provide a sense not only of the food, but of the restaurant's striking interior and ambience--the casual, Mediterranean feel that has come to define the New Australian Style. Additional chapters offer fresh, exciting breakfast ideas, information on preparing various kitchen basics and condiments, and notes on Australian cookery and ingredients. Whether you're seeking unique, cutting-edge cuisine or beautiful, healthy presentations, this cookbook is sure to delight. --Amazon.com
