The annual Foodies' Guide to Melbourne is the only place to go to find Melbourne's most incredible food - whether you're searching for spice-filled snags or
whole-roasted duck, organic extra-virgin olive oil or white chocolate and wasabi gelato, The Foodies Guide to Melbourne 2008 will put the city's best-kept food
secrets at your fingertips.
Discerning food writers Allan Campion and Michele Curtis have scoured the city and beyond in their search for the best produce, products and service.
This year they have noted an amazing boom in the availability of hand-crafted produce, with stores specializing in hand-made chocolates, freshly churned gelati,
hot from the oven sourdough bread and stunning decorated cakes all making a big impact. Allan and Michele also invite reades to discover the wonderful metropolitan
markets and farmers' markets, the food tours and cooking schools that all go towards making Melbourne one of the world's great food capitals.
Returning to this year's guide are the highly anticipated 'Foodies' Awards' - presented to the standout players in the Melbourne food scene. Brand new feature boxes
also highlight Allan and Michele's favourite food experiences - those brilliant places for breakfast, fish & chips, burgers, pizzas and takeaways, which you simply
must know!

Every Day in the Kitchen
Every Day in the Kitchen is the bestselling bible of Australian home cooking – whether you're stepping into the kitchen for the first time or looking

for new ideas to revamp old favourites. Chefs and food writers Allan Campion and Michele Curtis hahve translated their knowledge into this highly
practical collection of dishes than can be prepared with equipment no fancier than a second-hand Kenwood, a small food processor, a wok or a toaster.
Every recipe is within the grasp of the novice and those who want good, fuss-free food on the table most nights of the week.
"Hello Allan and Michele. I picked up your cookbook in a bookshop some time ago because it looked straightforward and, on first
scan, seemed to have ‘weeknight’ versions of many of the classic meals. It has now become ‘The Cookbook’ in my house, and is used whenever we want to break out and
try something new. I am not a great or confident cook, but I feel strongly about home cooking for a family. All your recipes are easy to follow, and everything I
try from this cookbook works out really well. I was inspired to write to you because the beef pie was tried for the first time last night and, after the reaction from
the kids, we are obviously going to have to add this to our regular repertoire. So thanks. This family, and sometimes their friends, are getting a lot of pleasure
from your book" Cheers, Deb H.
"With a copy of Every Day in the Kitchen, every home cook is assured of inspiration for every mood and circumstance.
The selection of recipes is outstanding, the text is approachable and the explanations simple."
