A million miles away from the overdone gloss of Jamie, Nigella and co., Cookbook is that rare breed: the kind of recipe book you won't feel compelled to hide behind the rice cooker when guests come over.

Divided into three courses with accompanying colour code, typeface and linocut artwork by Ned Culic, Jon Campbell and Tin & Ed, Cookbook showcases twenty-four favourite home-style recipes from local food luminaries such as Anthony Lui of Flower Drum, Neil Perry of Rockpool and Andrew McConnell of Cumulus Inc. Though the brief is stretched a tad by the likes of Ben Shewry's 'Carrots cooked in earth with wild onions and clover', it's all doable, especially if you have access to a shovel and don't mind getting your hands dirty. The message here seems to be that food, much like publishing, should be approached with ambition and imagination.

It's a limited run of 250 individually numbered copies hand-printed onto thick card ‘pages' using the old letterpress at the amazing Melbourne Museum of Printing, with all profits donated to The Australian AIDS Fund. This makes Cookbook both a beautiful thing and an impeneterable fortress of goodness.
