Will and Steve

Home Cook, Aspiring Chef contains more than 100 recipes born of Will and Steve’s passion for freshness, flavour and good food. Born of their English heritage and their appreciation for Australian produce their innovative twists on traditional and time-honoured techniques result in some spectacular recipes suitable for both home cooks and aspiring chefs.

The book features six chapters:

• Brunch, Soups and Sarnies
• Shared Plates
• Home Cook, Aspiring Chef
• Dinner
• Sides and Salads
• Sweets and Desserts.

The Home Cook, Aspiring Chef chapter showcases Will and Steve’s different approach to food. Using the same ingredients to create two contrasting dishes, Will’s hearty but beautifully executed home cooking contrasts with Steve’s meticulous, elegant gourmet dishes, showcasing different techniques and approaches with the same produce.

Each chapter also features a masterclass with a detailed focus on an important technique, such as pickling, making parfait or their signature scotch eggs.

Beautifully photographed by Australia’s leading photographer, William Meppem, the flavour-packed originality of these recipes make this the must-have cookbook this year.
