This is a terrific adtiidon to my collection of over 100 cookbooks. The book is authored and published in Australia, so naturally features local (Asian) and immigrant (Mediterranean) influences/ingredients. I've only made a few recipes so far, all of which were excellent, and I'm tempted by many more. I highly recommend the Aromatic Beef Soup with Star Anise (pg 48), Chicken Laksa with Rice Noodles (pg 90) and, most recently attempted, Sweet Potato Frittata with Walnut and Herb Salsa (pg 124). I substituted pistachios for walnuts, and this salsa is absolutely sensational  intensely flavoured and a beautiful complement to the frittata, which doesn't actually  need' the salsa   it tastes great as it is. The recipes are dairy and gluten free. I'm not  I bought the book on the basis of a great review in a NZ/Aus. food magazine, and after a good browse (pages are available online). I thought it might make catering for friends with food intolerances easier  but I'll be using this book a lot regardless of who I have over to dinner and highly recommend it. Bravo to the authors.
