The Modern Kitchen - Objects that changed the way we cook, eat and live by Tim Hayward

$15.95 AUD

Category: COOKING

The kitchen is the heart of the home - it's where we spend leisure time as a family, where we feed ourselves and where we entertain our friends. The average western family spends more money on the kitchen than they do on a car or a holiday.â   We fill our kitchens with objects a nd tools that reflect our needs, tastes and desires. There is nowhere else in daily domestic life where design impinges quite as much as in the kitchen. Every item in the kitchen has its own story. Through 100 familiar objects, The Modern Kitchen maps the progress and development of this functional yet also wildly aspirational space. Why do the Le Creuset casserole dish and the wooden salad bowl exert such a cultural hold over us? How did the AGA become the symbol of gentrification? Has the accumulation of electrical appliances led us to cook and eat differently? As well as studying the individual objects that have had such a huge impact on the way we live now, The Modern Kitchen examines kitchen design, economics and gender politics. Embodying notions about class, gender, wealth and health, the home kitchen remains a neat insight into our beliefs, tastes, aesthetics and aspirations - the portrait of our domestic lives. ...Show more

"Congratulations to www.westcoastcafes.com.au and Menu Magazine for 10 years and 10 issues respectively. As a local Perth boy it is great to see a book featuring local recipes with local produce and cooked by very talented local chefs. I cant wait to get a copy which I will use when I feel a little home sick and need to taste a slice of my home town." - Paul Mercurio TV Personality & Actor "In the late 20th Century, Perth was known as the city of mining magnates. But it started the new millennium breeding a new dilettante - the dining magnate. Inspired by the synergy between the internet and the cultural hunger of Perth's isolated population, Scott Arnold-Eyers held up a virtual mirror to the world-class cuisine which sprouted in the first decade post-2000. So popular was the online cafe guide www.westcoastcafes.com.au that he was able to spin it off into Menu Magazine. Now he's releasing a fantastic recipe book, with 100% of the profits going to Cystic Fibrosis. Get yourself a copy and feel good in your belly and your heart." - Stewart Dawes Director of Sydney Cafes "As a new ambassador for CF, I am really happy to see such talented chefs supporting this very worthwhile fundraising project. I look forward to sampling these delicious recipes." - Nathan Charles Hooker, Emirates Western Force "Over the past 10 years, Menu Magazine and www.westcoastcafes.com.au has grown rapidly, and now boasts Perth's finest restaurants, cafes and bars flirting on its pages.

$45.00 AUD

Category: COOKING | Reading Level: 5 Cooking

Australia's bestselling cookbook author and most trusted home cook, Donna Hay, returns with a beautiful new cookbook that you'll want to use every night of the week. 'There are endless arguments out there for bringing more vegetables to your table - your own wellbeing, your budget, our environment, the list goes on. Whatever your personal reason, there's one that I think is universal - FLAVOUR. Gone are the days where a sad salad or soft steamed carrots were our only options. These recipes use vegetables in a whole new way, adding so much life to your weekly routine. Who knew broccoli (in my mind the superfood of all vegetables) could make such a delicious pizza base, flat-bread or tart shell? Often for lunch, or even a snack, I'll bake my super-green falafels in the oven and my studio team love them. As for my boys? Their current weeknight request is my crunchy raw pad thai - so yum. Inside Week Light, you'll find all these ideas and so much more. It's essentially my week in food, in a book - super-quick, family-friendly, fuss-free meals made REAL. Vegetables are at the forefront of nearly every recipe, with a few meat options thrown in, and there are lots of my all-time classics re-worked to include more goodness. This book is about using food to refuel and re-energise, while nurturing ourselves with flavour. Happy cooking!' ...Show more
