This is a culinary storybook laced with photographs and nearly 100 recipes. Presenting details of one man's love affair with food, the book follows Terry Durack as he writes about life-changing chocolate cake, the meaning of soup, the art of the udon noodle and the beauty of pig's feet. The 34 tales allow readers to delve into a mind obsessed with flavours, textures, aromas, passion and love. Each story carries with it a special bonus - a clutch of recipes such as Ukrainian borsch, Florentine tripe, Chinese congee with white fish, Singapore curry laksa, Malaysian fish head curry and Moroccan chicken with tomato, olives and preserved lemon.
