TerrineTerrine

Stephane Reynaud
Perennially-neglected terrine stars in the second Phaidon book from Stephane Reynaud (Pork & Sons, $49.95). There is a broad spectrum of recipes from vegetable through meat (including game), cheese, and surprisingly, a lovely selection of dessert terrines. For each type, Reynaud offers a few appropriate sauces. Lacking general instructions for terrine making, this book is a better bet for the experienced cook or professional. Colour photo with each recipe. Hardcover, 167 pp, $29.95.


Postcards from Portugal Postcards from Portugal

Tessa Kiros
Never have olive oil-slicked salt cod, calamari, and rabbit looked so seductive as they appear in the fourth book from Tessa Kiros. Fascinated with the concept of food as national identity, Kiros has previously celebrated the Cypriot/Finnish meals of her parents and the Tuscan food of the home where she is raising her own family (Falling Cloudberries, $45.00; Twelve, $34.95; Apples for Jam, $45.00) . Here, against a blue and white backdrop, she serves up the classic dishes of Portugal amongst photographs that capture the essence of the country from sea to table. Superb colour photos. Hardcover, 254 pp, $45.00.


Turqoise Turquoise
Greg and Lucy Malouf
Another stunning book from the Maloufs (Saha, $69.95), Turquoise is a culinary journey through Turkey. Stories, of course, and page after page of photographs transport will inspire you to try the recipes. The predominantly blue colour palette nicely reinforces the title and mibues the book with a sense of the Aegean Sea, all the better to whet the appetite for plate after plate of dips, kebabs, and pies.. Hardcover, 350 pp. $85.00.


PierPier
Greg Doyle Grant King and Katrina Kanetani
Accolades continue to rain upon Pier restaurant in Sydney. Most recently chosen as Restaurant of the Year in the magazine Australian Gourmet Traveller 2008 Restaurant Guide awards.

Leaning toward molecular cooking with recipes such as Crab Meat with a Tomato Water Bubble (this is truly spectacular); Pan-Roasted Sardines with Preserved Orange Butter, Currants and Pine Nuts; Mango Cheesecake Foam with Sablee Crumbs - Lemon Beurre Noisette. Too bad it doesn't come with plane tickets! Hardcover, 280 pp. $95.00.
