MURDOCH BOOKS NEW BOOKS NOVEMBER 2017 MATT MORAN'S AUSTRALIAN FOOD Coast + country MATT MORAN

Aussie favourites from coast to country for a new generation passionate about food

Thirty years ago, when Matt Moran first started cooking in commercial kitchens, lettuce meant iceberg, fish was always sold frozen and there were one, maybe two, varieties of tomatoes. Australia is now the envy of the world for its climate and variety of produce, and is a food-lover's destination, spurred on by generations of keen home cooks.

The recipes in this book span the country food traditions of regional Australia and the amazing fresh seafood of its rugged coastline. From the best slow-roasted lamb shoulder to an iconic passionfruit cheesecake, anyone who has spent time in Australia will find something in this collection which will make them nod their head and smile. 'This is the Australian food I love,’ says Matt, ‘and I hope you find lots to love here too.'

Matt Moran is an Australian food icon. He is the tour de force behind some of Australia's most celebrated dining establishments (Aria, Chiswick and North Bondi Fish, to name just a few) with a plethora of awards to his name. Matt is a frequent contributor to food publications globally and has appeared on numerous Australian and international TV shows. This summer he’ll be on Lifestyle’s Great Australian Bake-off and Channel 9’s Family Food Fight. This is his fifth cookbook.

It’s back to her baking roots for one of Australia's favourite cooking stars

'I love baking so much I've been known to park myself in front of the oven to watch a cake cook, like television.' Poh first fell in love with food by learning to bake as a nine-year- old. She remembers vividly her mum showing her the art of folding flour into her first sponge cake 'just like so' and the skill in lining a tin meticulously.

Now, years after Poh's meteoric rise to fame through MasterChef, and hosting her own television shows, Poh's Kitchen and Poh & Co, she returns to her roots, with wooden spoon and mixing bowl in hand. Poh owns and runs Adelaide destination cafe and bakery, Jamface, with her bestie, Sarah. She describes the Jamface baking philosophy as the love child between a Parisian patisserie and the Country Women's Association. Here, she shares recipes for 100 of her favourite baked delights. So take the afternoon off, fire up the oven and join Poh in the meditative process of baking something truly great.

Poh Ling Yeow is the Malaysian-born, Australia-raised, hugely popular host of TV shows Poh & Co and Poh's Kitchen. She runs destination bakery cafe Jamface in South Australia and pop-up food events.

Live the dream of a White Christmas in New York

A getaway to the magical New York of the pre-Christmas period: when coloured lights decorate the buildings, Jingle Bells rings out everywhere and culinary delicacies tempt you to indulge. Who doesn't dream of strolling down a snowy 5th Avenue, ice-skating around the imposing Christmas tree outside the Rockefeller Centre and, to cap it off, enjoying a delicious slice of pumpkin pie in one of the inviting cafes?

With around 50 recipes, including Blueberry Brownies, Maple Glazed Ham and unforgettable cheesecake, this cookbook allows you to share the dream of a White Christmas in your own kitchen. Interwoven throughout are three beautiful Christmas-themed stories, so you can read yourself into the spirit of Christmas—Paul Auster's 'Auggie Wren's Christmas Story', 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry and Virginia O'Hanlon's 'Is There a Santa Claus?' Each of the three stories has, in its own way, become part of popular Christmas folklore in the United States. It’s as good as a weekend escape to NYC!

Lisa Nieschlag has family roots in New York and likes to spend her time in the kitchen, cooking and baking, styling and photographing food. Lars Wentrup is a self-declared foodie and taste-tester.

One of this country's best-loved celebrities raises a toast to an enduring Australian icon: the (not so humble) backyard shed

Scott Cam loves his shed—so much so that he has two of them. He loves spending time in his sheds, sometimes doing absolutely zip. Just having a beer, looking around, turning random things on and off, sanding a bit of timber for no reason. And it got him to thinking.

There are thousands of people around with a love of sheds like me, and plenty of their sheds are better than mine. So why not run a competition to find the 20 best ones, and whack 'em in a book for all to see? Celebrate the Great Aussie Shed.

After his nationwide search, here in Scotty's Top Aussie Sheds you'll find the most fascinating examples of our humble, and not so humble, backyard icon. You'll be inspired by the owners' fascinating stories, and by the stunning images of their pride and joy—and you might even join Scotty on his mission: to make sheds great, make them essential and make them loved again.

Scott Cam is one of Australia's best-loved television personalities. As host of on , Scott's laidback larrikin attitude has won him millions of fans across Australia, as evidenced by his 2014 Gold Logie award.
