From one of Australia's finest chefs, Tony Bilson, comes this new edition of his classic book Fine Family Cooking. With more than 300 recipes to suit any occasion, such as braised oxtail, chicken pot-au-feu, tomato terrine or creme caramel, this cookbook will become an essential reference and inspiration to the chefs and gastronomes of today and tomorrow. Tony Bilson's Fine Family Cooking is the kitchen companion from Australia's original master chef to the master chefs of the future. It provides home cooks with a repertoire of recipes and techniques to create restaurant-quality dishes at home.

Taking the reader on a tour of fresh-food suppliers - the butcher, the fruit shop, the fish market, the greengrocer, the poulterer, the game supplier, the cheese shop, the patisserie - the author explains how to choose food and cook it, and includes a section on choosing and serving dishes.

"Tony Bilson's Fine Family Cooking book is one of my favourites... He was such a great cook, the recipes work, and there is a wonderful finesse to his food. All I can say is ... pommes Anna." Barbara Sweeney, The Guardian
