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.

dusty villages, exploring this country of vitality and
contrasts. Through their eyes, Morocco dazzles
with life and colour and offers up an inspiring

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.

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.
