'The Food & Wine Lover's Guide To Melbourne And Surrounds' takes readers on a gastronomic journey of Melbourne and those regions of Victoria that can be explored from Melbourne in a day. Each chapter weaves together fascinating information on the region's history, characteristic landscape, and local industry and how these factors have affected the regions food and wine profile.
The book also provides a window to the best restaurants, cafes, wineries and accommodation.
Food and wine writers, Michael Harden, Allan Campion, Michele Curtis and Claude Forrel have journeyed around the regions, visiting all sorts of establishments along the way, discovering new and unusual produce, and the people behind them (owners, chefs, vintners, cheese makers, fishermen) who also provide some delicious recipes to try at home. In doing so they build a portrait of Victoria as a wine and food destination. The writing is complemented by photography that not only captures the beauty of the regions, and includes revealing portraits of the people and evocative images of the place.
With beautiful photography, stylish design, practical recipes reflecting regional produce and restaurant fare, 'The Food & Wine Lover's Guide To Melbourne And Surrounds' is a book with long lasting appeal, more than a guide book, much more than a recipe book, it is the essential touring companion.
