TOBIE PUTTOCK

ITALIAN LOCAL

'Italian Local' picks up where Daily Italian left off, offering another 100 or so of his favourite Italian recipes, food he has adapted from the classics of Italian cuisine to fit with the availability of local produce and to suit the Australian lifestyle. Alongside the recipes are feature articles celebrating the extraordinary array of gourmet produce available in this country, from organically farmed pork to wild mushrooms.Complementing these stories and recipes is the inspiring landscape and food photography of Mark Chew.As always, Tobie's dedicated and professional approach is offset by his creativity, his sense of humour and his conviction that if you're not enjoying yourself in the kitchen, you shouldn't be there.
