ROCKPOOL BAR & GRILL BOOK
When Neil Perry Set out to open a steakhouse, it wasn’t going to be just any steakhouse. It had to showcase not only Australia’s best beef but also the best seafood, and the best of everything. In his latest book, Neil shares the trials and tribulations of opening the ultimate steakhouse, Rockpool Bar & Grill, first in Melbourne, then Sydney and Perth. This is a book about the life of a restaurant and all the people who contribute to it, from the graziers to the scallop fivers to the oyster whisperers.
Tales from the restaurant and from his producers intersperse Neil’s collection of 150 recipes that bring his restaurant into your home. His advice on handling seafood, how to cook the perfect steak, how to build a wood-fired barbecue, plus his signature condiments, side dishes and desserts, make this an indispensable and inspirational kitchen companion.

ROCKPOOL BOOK
In “Rockpool” Neil Perry shares his recipes for over 100 dishes, for everything from canapés to desserts, including Rockpool signature dishes. The imaginative but never complicated recipes have been written with an eye to the domestic kitchen, and will inspire you at home. Rockpool food is of the New World, rejoicing in the diversity of modern day Australia, and the quality and range of produce available. It is a meeting of Western tradition and Eastern technique, and the masterpieces Perry creates are a harmony and celebration of the two.
“Rockpool” is part culinary journey, part reflection and a celebration of the possibilities of cooking.

BALANCE & HARMONY – ASIAN FOOD
In Balance & Harmony Neil Perry reveals his love for Asian cooking: the great flavours, the contrasts in tastes and textures and the way that just about anything can be cooked with a wok and bamboo steamer. The book is set out in the style of a cooking school by the Rockpool masterchef, progressing from the stir-fried, braised and deep fried dishes, to more challenging and intricate plates as the reader gains confidence and knowledge. Ultimately Asian food celebrates the ethos of the shared table, and that is the theme of balance & harmony, where a series of banquet ideas are presented, ranging from the simple to the most gloriously memorable.
