PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Chef Karen Martini's acclaimed career includes two-hatted stints at Melbourne Wine Room and Sydney's Icebergs Dining Room, as well as her own ventures - the latest of which is the ambitious Hero, in Melbourne's iconic ACMI building, where she is a founding partner and creative food director. Karen has had a TV presence for nearly two decades, including as resident chef on Australia's longest-running lifestyle television series, Better Homes and Gardens. She is a weekly columnist for Good Weekend, she is in-demand at events and festivals, and she is the author of eight cookbooks. Her newest book, COOK, is by far her most comprehensive and ambitious, cementing her place as the voice of a generation and an authority that will endure in readers' lives for decades to come.
'I have been a great fan of Karen Martini for years. Her recipes are so delightfully cookable - precisely what I want to serve to guests at home - and her personality radiates through the pages of her books. COOK zooms into Karen's world, with a deep and always delicious look into ingredients, dishes and meals. Go get it!' - Yotam Ottolenghi 'This is a jaw-dropper, door-stopper of a book, a magnificent magnum opus that's as generous and abundant as the way Karen cooks.' - Alice Zaslavsky 'A quintessential guide to cookery that encompasses cultural diversity, family values and knife-point professionalism - in short, all the things that make Karen who she is. Essential to anyone from the home cook to the most professional.' - Guy Grossi 'WOW. This is a must for a cook of any level. This book will go straight to the 'bible' section of my collection.' - Tobie Puttock
