“The way we cook and the way we eat say something deeply personal about who we are.” – Marion Grasby

Marion Grasby loves food. Here, in her first cookbook, she shares more than 80 of her favourite dishes, peppered with entertaining stories, family memories and incredible photography of her travels throughout Australia and Thailand.

Marion’s food is inspired by the places she’s been and the people she’s met along the way. A fascinating mix of Thai, Italian, French, Middle Eastern and firmly Australian, these are recipes for the hungry home cook; food to make every night of the week, for dinner parties or just lazy afternoons.

Description

Who is this book for?

Anyone who shares Marion's deep love of food, from Asian classics and European dishes to Modern Australian fare and everything in between (and wants to know where it all began).

    Just Delicious

    Wow I have bought all the books and working working my way thru 1 cook book at a time :)

    There is not 1 recipe fail, let alone the taste of each meal, simply amazing.

    My whole family is loving the fact I’m back in the kitchen enjoying the process and they’re loving everything being put out.

    Thank-you for sharing
