'This book is a celebration of all the growers, farmers, fishermen, artisans and food providores I have met . . . a tribute to the people behind the food I love.'

As I found when I browsed through the book with my yellow sticky notes to alert The Spouse to recipes we might try, I found page after page after page celebrating the passion the purveyors of ingredients have for their product… before finally finding a recipe. This profusion of passion is why the book is so heavy and is a liability in a domestic kitchen where space is at a premium. It won’t fit into nine out of ten recipe book holders, that’s for sure. ‘Mark Eather’s Scallops’, for instance gets 5 full page photos (including an irrelevant one of Kylie fishing for calamari) and three pages of yada-yada about the scallops. And then after all that there’s only one recipe for Roast Scallops with Potato and Caramelised Pork. Which, judging by the ratio of scallop to pork, is more about the pork.
