Quay: Food inspired by nature Hardcover – 1 Nov. 2010

Its a beautiful book with some fabulous photography. It would look lovely on any coffee table - but be prepared for serious mouth watering! The list of ingredients are long and some of the time I have no idea what they are! It is not for the faint hearted but I think the book can easily be enjoyed buy anyone for what it is. The recipes themselves are a big undertaking but the results will be worth while! However I don't think you have to be a fabulous cook to get a lot out of this book - as a photography book it is beautiful and it is inspirational what ever level cook you are and if you do try the recipes then the instructions are excellent.It would be a lovely gift, for cookery book - inspiration or simply for the coffee table!

This book really does work with the chefs ideology, inspired by nature. Great book for ideas if your creative enough to take the time to digest his many techniques. I so enjoyed this book as it has enhanced my own cooking.

This is a beautifully crafted recipe book with stunning photography. A word of caution before committing to a purchase - this is a cookbook from the best restuarant in Australia. Quay is also listed in the San Pellegrino Top 50 Restuarants in the World (at #26 in 2011). In addition, the style of cooking that best describes Peter Gilmore's menus is nature based cuisine. This puts Peter Gilmore's work in a similar vein to Michel Bras and Rene Redzepi. With all that in mind, don't expect the recipes to be accessible. If cooking were that simple, I'd have a Michelin Star. Instead, buy this book to be inspired by the work of a chef who is at the top of his game.

Stuning book! Piece of art. It really inspire you to creat something! Amazing dishes that look beautiful! If you want to cook like this at home - this is a whole new level.

an amazing and beautiful book!But it is crazy hard to make it! with a lot of ingredients that are hard to get.A great thing for chefs and people with a lot of experience, and a yummy thing to look at for people who love food but don't really cook.
