With recipes by favourite chefs including Stephanie Alexander, Maggie Beer, Stefano Manfredi & Tobie Puttock) the author takes us on a journey through the olive groves of Australia arguing for local over imported oil. She teaches us how to identify good oil and recognise the evils of rancidity. The book is beautifully photographed by Simon Griffiths. Looking at all of the recipes, am struck by the sheer simplicity of most of the recipes. Use of herbs and fresh vegetables to complement the olive oil seems to be the same regardless of which of the chefs are dictating the recipe.
