Bel Mondo - Beautiful World: Stefano Manfredi - One of my favourite restaurants in Sydney, even if I could only afford to eat at the antibar. Recipes are great for entertaining, and make good use of Australian produce.
A Gondola on the Murray: Stefano de Pieri - Another great cookbook, highlighting the produce of the Australian Riverina with rustic italian cooking.
River Cafe Book Two (Yellow): Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers
River Cafe Book Green: Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers - Refreshing use of seasonal ingredients, even if they are a little obscure or expensive at times. Handy for a reader from the other hemisphere.

Spice: Christine Mansfield [autographed]- One of my favourite chefs. I regret missing out on dining at Paramount before it closed down, or at her Spanish Dinner in Sydney in 2001. I'm glad to say that I did attend one of her classes at the Sydney Seafood School, and it was fabulous.
