Serge  by Serge Dansereau

From his early life, where his father's garden helped to feed a family of five children, Serge Danserau's life has been shaped by food. He picked beans at 12, served his apprenticeship in the kitchens of Canada, and came to Australia as chef of Sydney's first five-star restaurant, Kable's. Serge's passion for fresh produce has helped encourage many specialist food producers in Australia. This remarkable story is also a history of the way our food culture has evolved, and contains many fascinating behind the scenes insights into the Australian food scene.

Salute!  by Gail Donovan
In May 1999, four friends - two restaurateurs, a chef and a photographer - set out on a three-week holiday in southern Italy. Gail and Kevin Donaldson wanted to find visual and culinary inspiration for their bayside restaurant, Donovans. Chef Robert Castellani looked forward to extending his knowledge of his Italian heritage. This book is their account of the journey. Gail kept a diary of their adventures, Simon took photographs wherever they went, Kevin recorded the wines they sampled and Robert made notes on the meals they ate. The result is a lavishly illustrated journal full of travel information, personal stories, and, of course, food - recipes which capture the flavours and colours of southern Italy.
