Bills Food Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For Bill cooking is a time to relax, and meals should be stress-free and sociable (his restaurant, bills, is famous for its one communal table). bills foodfocuses on the pleasures of cooking, eating, and sharing food with friends. His straightforward recipes reflect the casual, comfortable Australian lifestyle, and strike the perfect balance between the exotic and the familiar. The ingredient lists are short, and the sweet (and savory) results are spectacular. There are no complicated steps, and no fancy equipment is required. The stunning photographs accompanying each recipe are sure to spark both creativity and hunger in home cooks, and just might inspire them to head for the simple life down under.

Synopsis:

Balancing the exotic and the familiar, Australia's hottest chef shows home cooks how to add Down Under flavor and flair to everyday meals. Full color.

About the Author

Famous for the communal table at his tiny Sydney cafe, Bill Granger was serving his parents breakfast in bed by the time he was five. He opened his first restaurant, bills, when he was only 22 and quickly made his reputation with simple scrambled eggs and ricotta hotcakes. Even the New York Timessings his praises as the "egg master of Sydney". Today, his simple no-fuss cuisine is loved by the rich and famous, not to mention the loyal band of locals who regularly dine at bills and bills 2. With two best-selling cookbooks behind him, Sydney Foodand bills food, Bill has been a contributor to numerous publications, including the ABC delicious, magazine.

Once you get past the missing apostrophe in the title of this book, it has a lot going for it. It covers a lot, is beautifully laid out, with plenty of photos letting you know what you're making, and the recipes (or, at least the one's I've tried) work beautifully. This book helped me make my first unsupervised roast chicken (which was delicious and moist), and opened my eyes to the oven-baked risotto. I'll never stand for hours over a stove stirring a risotto again!

Its easy enough anymore to search for and download recipes from the internet. It works, and there are a lot of options from which to choose. However, I like to hold a cookbook in my hands, flip through the pages and muse about what I might try next. Bills Food is a beautiful cookbook; from the feel of the thick quality paper to the organization of recipes into time of day sections - breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. Each recipe is accompanied by a full page color picture, blurring the distinction between art and information. At the same time, the recipes themselves are easy to follow (with no need for fancy equipment) rendering dishes that look and taste amazing. They will think you are taking a cooking class!

(Some of my favorites: Open-faced feta and leek omelet, Crepes with ricotta filling and bitter orange sauce, Spicy roast pumpkin, feta and olive salad, and of course, White chocolate cheesecake!)
