Adam Newell, owner and chef at Zibibbo has produced a cookbook with recipes as satisfying as actually experiencing a meal at his establishment. His cookbook captures, through recipes, stories, profiles and sumptuous photography, the Adam Newell style - intensely-flavoured pan-European dishes with a Mediterranean focus that reflect his philosophy of cooking things that 'bring a smile to people's faces'. And as testimony to the quality of Newell's work, this, his first cookbook, is endorsed by world-renowned chef Michel Roux Jnr.
From starters and soups, pasta and rice, fish and meat, as well as dessert and a petit fours section, eighty innovative recipes created and perfected by Newell and cooked around the world can now entice dinner guests in your own home. A 'Basics' section is also included with 32 extra ideas, including sauces, pastry and stock.
And as Newell's work will influence our cooking, the contributions of other people to his style also feature - from his Cornish grandmother to the venison guy in Manawatu.
A Consuming Passion is available at Zibibbo, and at bookstores nationwide. For more information e-mail us at dine@zibibbo.co.nz or phone +64 4 3856650
