A Passion For Life, A Passion For Cooking
A unique combination of over 100 superb recipes, vast knowledge shared about produce, and autobiographical stories about a lifelong passion for food both in Italy and Australia, 'A Gondola on the Murray' is a tour de force from chef Stefano de Pieri.
This is a book to cook from, but also one to read with immense pleasure. The mixture of advice, recipes, pungent commentary and entertaining stories is reminiscent of Stephanie Alexander's approach to cookery writing - but this is a voice that bounds from the page with great gusto.
Never afraid to put his point of view or to air controversial opinions, de Pieri also has a wicked sense of humour and, importantly, a practical approach to the art of cooking.
No standing on ceremony or being precious about food here: it is meant to be consumed with enjoyment and in the company of friends. Fresh, entertaining, amusing and, above all, a delight to use in the kitchen, 'A Gondola on the Murray' will be read and used with pleasure for years to come.
Now an ABC television series. Includes colour and black-and-white photographs.
