Bills Food or M522 Holidays at Home

Bills Food

Author: Bill Granger

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 food focuses 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.

Granger's eponymous Sydney restaurant, bills (no capital letter, no apostrophe), is one of Australia's most famous dining spots. While his first cookbook showcased the food from the restaurant, this one includes the recipes he likes to cook at home. A lover of breakfast dishes, he begins with early-morning dishes like French Toast with Fresh Berry Sauce and a homey Mushrooms on Toast. The following recipes-for lunch, afternoon tea (sweet baked goods), and dinner-are generally more sophisticated but still uncomplicated: Rare Tuna Salad with Fennel and Lemon Dressing, for example. Recipes are clearly written and include helpful notes on techniques and ingredients, but they do assume some experience in the kitchen. Granger's food is fresh, innovative, and unfussy, and the gorgeous color photographs and sleek design (reminiscent of Donna Hay's popular titles) combine to make this an attractive volume.
