Synopsis
Since its beginning, Neil Perry's restaurant "Rockpool" has redefined Australian cuisine. Rockpool food is of the New World, rejoicing in the diversity of modern-day Australia and the quality and range of products available. It is a meeting of Western tradition and Eastern technique and the masterpieces Perry creates are a harmony and celebration if the two. In "Rockpool", Perry shapes his recipes for over a 100 dishes, for everything from canapes to desserts. Included are signiture dishes such as herb and spice tuna with eggplant salad, king prawn and goat's cheese tortellini, tea-smoked ocean trout with spring onion, and frozen expresso cake. The imaginative - but never complicated - recipes have been written with an eye to the domestic kitchen and should inspire you at home. "Rockpool" is part culinary journey, part reflection and a celebration of the possibilities of cooking.
