From the culinary genius Peter Gilmore, one of the top 50 chefs in the world, comes this much anticipated book. Quay's stunning design and photography perfectly echoes Peter's nature-based philosophy and the organic presentation that is synonymous with the fine dining experience at Quay. Peter's recipes, including the irresistible eight-textured chocolate cake and his signature iridescent sea pearls, will take you on an inspirational adventure, exploring flavour, texture and technique.

Start with a single component, build to a show-stopping dish, or simply enjoy the visual and culinary journey. Key points: signature recipes from Australia's Restaurant of the Year 2008/2009; recipes are broken into more approachable individual components making them easier to recreate in a home setting.

About The Author

Peter Gilmore has been the executive chef of Quay restaurant since August 2001 and in that time has elevated the restaurant to 3-hat status for the past 7 years. Peter's creative and original food has brought Quay international accolades and the restaurant was recently ranked one of the top 50 restaurants in the world. His unique philosophy is 'food inspired by nature' and he encapsulates this in his picture perfect dishes that celebrate nature's beauty and diversity.

Let's face it, very few of us will ever attempt Gilmore's fine dining recipes. We ooh-ed and aah-ed over them in Master Chef, and his famous Snow Egg nearly brought the finalists to their knees, but as far as inspiration, presentation and sheer food porn goes, you can't beat Quay . With such meticulous attention to detail, the photography alone took more than a year to get right. In his concession to us mere mortals, Gilmore has broken his recipes into components so you don't actually have to attempt the whole thing. Regardless, the book Quay is as sublime as its eponymous three-hatted restaurant. To experience it is to remember it, and I mean that in the most positive of ways.
