Top Chefs Recipes Made Easy - By Virginia Hellier ( Wilkinson Publishing) You don't have to be a master chef to cook restaurant-quality food at home in your own kitchen. In Top Chefs' Recipes Made Easy by Virginia and Lisa Hellier, 28 of Australia's top chefs show how simple it is to bring a taste of their professional world to your own table. The dishes - nibbles for drinks, entrees, salads as meals, main courses and desserts - take their inspiration from Italy, France, Thailand, and Vietnam and owe their conception to some of our most talented and innovative chefs. Several creations, such as the Teriyaki Racks of Lamb, fuse different culinary traditions. "Now home cooks can whip up the same dishes as Shannon Bennett prepares for Vue de Monde in Melbourne or Jimmy Shu serves at Hanuman in Darwin. The recipes are step-by-step and foolproof. You can impress your friends, your family and even yourself when you serve Braised Beef Spetzatino, oven-baked beef with a tomato sauce with chocolate," says Virginia Hellier.

Fun, Fast and Fabulous Food - a guide to feeding friends at home by Alison Taafe
When the words 'Dinner' and 'Party' are put together, they take on a whole new level of fear and intimidation for many, so chef and educator Alison Taafe hopes to
allay home cook's nerves with her great new book. Fun, Fast and Fabulous Food is the next best thing to having a guest chef waiting in your pantry.
There's everything from menus for various themes and occasions, to drink suggestions, shopping lists and timetables. Like when to go shopping, when to start the prep, what order to start cooking things etc. Alison has it all covered, by taking the stress and uncertainty out of entertaining.
Alison takes readers through all the steps, from planning what they will cook, through to home cooks when to shower, dress and relax before guests arrive.
It's a light-hearted yet sensibly planned book that really does give you the feeling that you're being taken by the hand, by an experienced foodie.
