This is more than just a cookbook. It is an affectionate snapshot of Australia and the food we love to eat from 100 of Australia's finest cooks, chefs, bakers and local heroes. Featuring 165 recipes, from tried and true Aussie classics to contemporary cuisine that reflect Australia's ethnic diversity and fresh local produce, The Great Australian Cookbook is a celebration of local cuisine. One hundred of Australia's finest cooks, chefs, bakers and local heroes let us into their homes and their hearts as they share their favourite recipes they make for the people they love.

This is not just a book about cooking but an insight into Australian Aboriginal culture through food, country and humour. From the mangroves and beaches of Arnhem Land to the arid lands around Alice Springs, Steve Sunk has taught cookery in many Aboriginal communities.
