Spring cookbook season is in full swing, and among my favorite new cover designs is Modern Australian Baking by Christopher Thé. What sets this cover apart from several of this season’s other noteworthy baking books is not just its undeniable beauty, but the way it so strongly evokes a sense of place. This design is a celebration of Australian nationality, seasonality, and local ingredients, and reflects the sentiment that Thé proclaims in the very first line of his introduction: “This book is a love story to the only land I have known.” The latest Headnotes post guides readers through the cover—from the unique ingredients in the show-stopping Geraldton Wax Cheesecake, to the long afternoon shadows, to the Australian red earth color palette—while paying tribute to the talents of the creative team that brought it to life (link in bio).

COOK SWEET & COOK GREEN

The next chapter of COOK is here.

After the incredible response to COOK, something new is arriving…

Two new titles in the COOK series - Cook Sweet and Cook Green - are now available to pre-order 🎉

These books are a natural extension of the original, created in response to what readers asked for most: more imagery, more inspiration, more ways to cook with confidence and creativity.

Cook Sweet celebrates the joy of dessert, from nostalgic classics to elegant, modern indulgences.

Cook Green brings vegetables to the centre of the table. Bold, vibrant, and deeply satisfying.

Each book is beautifully photographed and designed to be used, loved, and cooked from often.

Pre-order now via the link in bio.

And thank you, as always, to the brilliant team who bring these books to life;

I almost never post books here on the grid, but exceptions must be made from time to time and one of those is for this book from a truly exceptional author.

I first met @missotama properly back in the depths of lockdown when restaurants were closed and I was trying to persuade her to write a little book for @somekind_press. I didn't have to try too hard it turned out, she already knew exactly what she wanted to do and how she wanted to do it. And it was brilliant. As is her way. And yes that book - with its spice story ending in that LFS dahl - was a beauty but what struck me most was the voice behind it; so strong and clear, yet also warm and wise, with a quite remarkable sense of self. It's the same voice that comes through in all of O Tama's food, in this new book that celebrates both her Lankan and Australian selves and in her (also exceptional) restaurant Lankan Filling Station, which shuts its doors in Sydney for the last time tomorrow.

I am desperately sad I can't be there to mark the occasion but so happy for the many times I have had the chance to eat this exceptional food from this truly remarkable chef, author and friend. Until I can eat it again, the books will have to do... 🥲

Your usual Rocket and Pear Salad but I had leftover potato bread (yes, it's as good as it sounds) so turned it into crunchy croutons. Thinly slice, brush with olive oil and pop under the grill for 10 mins.

10/10 would recommend

For more on the freakin easy and good potato 🥔 bread look for E276 in our feed. Recipe is there and more on the podcast!

This book, above any I’ve ever had the pleasure to work on, is always a testament to a mammoth collective effort and an incredible multi-team achievement. That it happens annually is still staggering to me. Huge congratulations to @winecompanion and all involved for @hardiegrantbooks - there’s never been a better time to drink Australian wine, and there’s no better guide to point you in the direction of the good stuff🍷

TOMORROW (Saturday) at Sydney Writers Festival!

We will be taking a Very Voyeuristic look inside people's fridges and pantries and telling them what they're doing wrong! Or right! 🌶️🍗

Any thoughts on this one?

I see tofu, 🥑🥑, Greek yoggut, soy sauce, cottage cheese... 👀

If you're at SWF come see us dissect the Daily Dinner Dilemma, do some demos and have some laughs -- 11am!!
