Some cooks are blessed with an innate ability in the kitchen and Sean Moran is one of them. Matthew Evans, a former food critic and now Tasmanian farmer and restaurateur, summed up the appeal of Moran’s food thus: he is “the man you’d entrust to cook your last meal, balancing home-style comfort with modern tastes: his flavours make me go weak at the knees.” From delicious tacos to cinnamon buns, this cookbook provides variety. We love the depth of flavors, pulling from Puerto Rican and Creole heritage in combination with the South. There's something in here for every craving, and also descriptions on how to use different food staples to create dishes beyond the norm. Leave cookbooks with hard-to-find or unfamiliar ingredients on the shelf. Of course, one or two unique new ingredients can be fun and exciting, but they can be a drain on your wallet, and unless you plan to use them in repeated recipes, they might just sit in your pantry for years. Rachel Josey recommends “looking for cookbooks that focus on real, whole food ingredients prepared in simple yet creative ways. Avoid anything that calls for a long list of different ingredients for every recipe, and bonus points if a specialty ingredient is reused in multiple recipes throughout the book.” Some cookbooks have over 100 recipes, and others might have fewer. There is no general rule when it comes to the number of recipes in a book. Cookbooks that focus on a specific cuisine may have fewer recipes than other more varied cookbooks.

It’s also where aficionados of Rantissi and Frawley’s Sydney cafe, Kepos Street Kitchen, will unearth the culinary secrets of their hot smoked salmon and potato salad and chocolate halva brownies. His restaurant, Sean’s Panaroma on the beach at Bondi, is quintessentially Australian, as is this book. It’s a remarkable and beautiful-looking book with a broader scope than the recent releases the from fishy wunderkind Josh Niland. There’s no competition, though: if you love to cook fish and seafood, you need them all – this book and Niland’s two. Dinner parties were the thing in the late 60s and early 70s (as were after-dinner mints) and it was Margaret Fulton’s recipes for consommé and beef wellington – or filet de boeuf en croûte – that graced the tables of the day.

The best cookbook is the one you cook from and the one you hand on, complete with splatters and scribbles, to the next generation. Whether you own a handful or a hundred, your cookbooks define who you are as a cook. You will have your own best-of list. Food writers such as John Newton (The Oldest Foods on Earth, 2016), Vic Cherikoff (The Bush Food Handbook, 1997) and Jean-Paul Bruneteau (Tukka: Real Australian Food, 1996), as well as chefs such as Sydney’s Peter Gilmore (of Quay fame) – none of them First Nations people – edged the conversation towards the mainstream, along with many pioneers in the agricultural industry. Hurrah for this landmark book, which combines Adnyamathanha man Damien Coulthard’s cultural knowledge with Rebecca Sullivan’s interest in the local food economy and a desire to feed her family well. Both authors show you how to buy, grow, cook and eat from the amazing pantry on our doorstep.This book is just about food. Nothing flashy, no expensive equipment and gizmos. It’s entirely about flavours and understanding. Food in its entirety is more than about filling your stomach; it’s about stories, history, and those shared moments." – Hasan Semay Meal prepping is a skill that can save time and energy on cooking throughout a busy week, and this cookbook is a great way to get started.

Do everything in your power to retain the original flavour of the produce. Have fun. Recipes are arranged by season and ingredients and short essays appear on each. The enthusiasm and joy Beer has for food and cooking is infectious.
