2013 has been a busy year. We moved to our new home at

Allen & Unwin in January, and three publishers – Diana Hill,

Jane Morrow and Corinne Roberts – have joined the team and

are happily acquiring a collection of great books for the years

ahead. You will find new books from some familiar faces: Neil

Perry dishes up Simply Good Food, Peter Gilmore cooks up a

creative storm and Adriano Zumbo reminds us that everything

old is new again in Zumbo Riffs the Classics. Amanda Talbot

gives us a book of inspiration and wellbeing through design

in Happy, and Paris Cutler celebrates romance in cake form in

Planet Cake Love.

They are joined by a collection of newcomers. Elvis

Abrahanowicz and Ben Milgate from Porteño bring us Recipes

for a Good Time, and there are cookbooks by the remarkable

Dan Hong from Sydney restaurant Mr Wong; Martin Benn of

Sepia restaurant; and Anna Gare, co-host of television’s The

Great Australian Bake-Off. Rob and Sophia Palmer recreate the

allure of Morocco in Colour of Maroc, while Alistair and Teena

Wise’s Sweet Envy and Natasha Collins’ The Painted Cake add

sweet delights.

Some things never change, however, and Murdoch Books

is still bringing you the best illustrated books the world has to

offer in food, design, gardening and craft. We look forward to

working with old friends from our coediton partnerships and

welcoming new ones. Call by the stand at Frankfurt and London

book fairs and meet the team – we’d love to see you.

as she experiences Morocco and her heritage

as if for the first time. Food is their gateway into

the heart of Morocco.

Their passion for Morocco is a delight to

share as they are guided by Sophia’s friends and

family through overflowing cities and remote

dusty villages, exploring this country of vitality and

contrasts. Through their eyes, Morocco dazzles

with life and colour and offers up an inspiring

collection of recipes bursting with flavour.

challenges that presents, covering basic skills

The new wave of cuisine represented by the

bistronomy movement is led by young chefs

who choose to drop the astronomical prices

and stuffy atmospheres of top-class Michelin

outfits in favour of more convivial surrounds,

where food and community rather than

the thread count of the tablecloth are what

matters. Through recipes and accompanying

narrative, this dynamic book captures the vital

elements of bistronomy—the democratic spirit

of generous, affordable hospitality, and the

imaginative reworking of classic fare built on

quality ingredients and technique. Bistronomy is

premised on sharing, and author Katrina Meynink

embraces that concept by creating global

bistronomy menus with more than 100 recipes

generously donated by chefs the world over,

from Paris to London, New York, Copenhagen

and the shores of Sydney, Australia.

Zumbo Riffs the ClassicsAdriano Zumbo

For his third cookbook, top Sydney pastry chef

Adriano Zumbo recreates some of the classic

desserts we all grew up drooling over. As well

as offering up his favourite recipes for these

confections, he applies his Willy Wonka-esque

genius to whipping them into two completely

new incarnations that play on the original recipe.

As always, the colours are bright, the flavours

unexpected, and the experience of recreating the

fruits of his fertile imagination a complete delight.

Mr Hong Dan Hong

of proud heritage, technical skill and boundless

enthusiasm coupled with a vast appetite for the

new and the colourful make Dan’s approach

to cooking unique. His recipes and stories

instantly memorable.

The Food of Peter GilmorePeter Gilmore

While there is a layered complexity to world-

renowned chef Peter Gilmore’s ethereal—yet

grounded—cuisine, his philosophy of cooking is

relatively simple. Just four elements are required

to create perfect unison in a dish: nature,

texture, intensity and purity. In his new book

Peter invites the reader to share in his private

obsession with nature—when not in the kitchen

at Sydney’s Quay restaurant, he is working in his

experimental garden where he grows a huge

array of edible plant species. Each component

of a plant, from sweet, earthy roots to bitter

fronds and fragrant blossoms, is potentially

destined for inclusion in one of the 40 exquisite

dishes featured here. Peter also introduces us

to the many influences on his cooking, and to

the people who grow, catch and source key

ingredients. Images include intensely beautiful

food and ingredient shots, as well as producers

and produce photographed on location.
