Sixteen years since the publication of Australian national treasure Neil Perry’s groundbreaking bible for home cooks, The Food I Love, comes a bookend to that masterwork: Everything I Love to Cook.
Neil’s influence on the food culture of Australia and beyond has been profound: inspiring us to try new flavours, making simple food simply brilliant, and tirelessly supporting the producers who sustainably grow the food we love to eat.
Now he revisits legendary dishes from his flagship restaurants like Rockpool Bar & Grill and modern classics from his long-running ‘Good Weekend’ column, as well as new favourites he – and we – can’t get enough of. With tips and techniques to set you up for success every time, Neil is on a mission to boost your kitchen know-how and confidence, covering everything from basic knife skills to the art of barbecuing, dressing a salad and mastering a roast dinner.
Everything you need to know about fermentation to start a little revolution in your pantry!
Fermentation is one of the hottest kitchen trends of the past two years, and for good reason – fermentation allows us to transform the ordinary to the extraordinary (think: delicious pickles, olives, and ginger beer). But more than that, fermented foods have enhanced nutritional value, aid in digestion, and regulate our immune systems.
Fermentation is fun and it results in foods packed full of flavor and health benefits. The Fermentation Cookbook provides 70 easy, step-by-step, and cost-effective recipes for everything from fermented vegetables, fruits, sugars and honey to milks, cereals, grains and legumes. It covers the science behind fermentation, different types of fermentation processes, and useful fermentation equipment. So gather your jars, get started on making your own condiments and yogurts, and be on your way to cultivating good health.
Your taste buds will be sure to thank you. AUTHORS: Sebastien Bureau is the president of MannaNova Solutions Inc, a food science consulting service that helps small producers in the fermented and non-fermented food and beverage industry. Since a young age, he has devoted many hours in the kitchen, experimenting with ingredients and exploring flavors and techniques.

A complete meat- and brisket-cooking education from the country’s most celebrated pitmaster and owner of the wildly popular Austin restaurant Franklin Barbecue–winner of Texas Monthly’s coveted Best Barbecue Joint in Texas award.
When Aaron Franklin and his wife, Stacy, opened up a small barbecue trailer on the side of an Austin, Texas, interstate in 2009, they had no idea what they’d gotten themselves into.
Today, Franklin Barbecue has grown into the most popular, critically lauded, and obsessed-over barbecue joint in the country (if not the world)-and Franklin is the winner of every major barbecue award there is. In this much-anticipated debut, Franklin and coauthor Jordan Mackay unlock the secrets behind truly great barbecue, and share years’ worth of hard-won knowledge.
Franklin Barbecue is a definitive resource for the backyard pitmaster, with chapters dedicated to building or customizing your own smoker; finding and curing the right wood; creating and tending perfect fires; sourcing top-quality meat; and of course, cooking mind-blowing, ridiculously delicious barbecue, better than you ever thought possible.
- The main body is made of palm (coconut fiber) material, which is useful both in the kitchen and outdoors.
- The silicone band used to secure the fingers makes it less likely to slip when gripped.
- Furthermore, the pressure from the silicone band causes the fibers to densely pack together on the cleaning surface. This makes it effective at removing tough stains such as burnt-on food from metal plates and mud from shoe soles.
-
Comes with paracord for easy portability. It can be attached to bags or belt loops, making it perfect for outdoor activities and camping. The cord uses reflective material (reflector) to ensure visibility in dark places.
Please read - Please wash with water before use.
- Do not use on items that are easily scratched.
- After use, rinse thoroughly, drain the water, and dry in the sun.
- Due to the natural fibers, there may be variations in color, but this does not affect the quality.
- The band can be removed.

This product was developed as a joint project between Takada Kozo Shoten, a scrubbing brush specialty store founded in 1948, Fujita Metal, and Kinki University. Based on the theme of "making tools" that are close to daily life and accompany our eating habits, we carefully select palm fibers and have each brush manufactured by hand by skilled craftsmen.
01 Silver is built with a single tablespoon volume (half ounce) to scale recipes and ratios with consistency. The well is deeply formed to cradle liquid, the tip is tapered to a fine point for precise pouring or basting. The handle is long enough to stir a braise or a pot of beans, and nimble enough to sauce a plate. The lip is thin and flared to help scrape the corners of a pan or storage container.

Inspired by the worn and tarnished steel often found at flea markets, and modeled after old American and European silhouettes the spoon is tumbled and unpolished. This creates a matte and imperfect material finish. Each piece is stamped and etched, then finished by hand on a lathe in Mr. Okada’s workshop.

This glimmering scepter is a secret weapon in pro kitchens the world over. If you’ve ever wondered how restaurants consistently nail temps on meat, fish, and baked goods the humble cake tester is your answer. A meat thermometer provides an accurate but detached numerical answer, the cake tester offers an opportunity to cook intuitively. To use your senses and be more connected to your food. To understand what medium-rare feels like, not what a digital probe tells you. If you treat this battle sword well, you may not need to buy another cake tester again.

A cake tester that doesn’t melt, snap, or separate. Noyau is built with tough Japanese steel, a more fitting material than the polyurethane often used by manufacturers. Taking inspiration from cocktail pins found at bars and antique shops in Kyoto, Noyau's head is stamped flat to feel like a weighted guitar pick, and pinched at the base to keep the rod firmly in place. The tip is pointed, to mimic a toothpick and slide through meat, fish, cake, and veg without damaging flesh, fiber, or crumb.

Stando's smaller sibling - Petite Stando. Light and quick, Petite Stando is our answer to the offset plating tweezer. At 8 inches it's comfortable nestled on the front of your apron, and ready to help plate on the pass. You'll find sharpened tips and a balanced tension between the tongs, allowing for precise placement and a strong grip.
Form-
We ditched the bland and clinical look of tongs, and replaced it with a soft streamlined shape. The namesake feature, a curved stand in the middle of the tool provides a wide surface area for finger placement and grip. The stand also keeps the tips elevated off the ground while not in use. Each piece is stamped, etched, and finished by hand at Mr. Ando’s workshop.

FAQs
What is the difference between Stando and Petite Stando?
Stando is a 10" all-purpose tool designed to act like a more nimble tong. Stando has rounded tips and is comfortable anywhere you would use tongs like stirring noodles, grilling, sautéing veg, or flipping chicken. Petite Stando is 8" and has pointed tips and is a more dedicated plating tweezer, designed for delicate tasks like garnishing or handling small things.
I don't work in a restaurant, why should I buy Stando?
Tweezers have long been a secret weapon in pro kitchens. Where clunky collapsible tongs can rip or tear food and feel like cooking with two giant thumbs, tweezers are delicate and nimble allowing an opportunity to interact with your food with more control and intimacy. In addition to being a great cooking companion, Stando also works well as a serving utensil - from tinned fish to charcuterie boards and salads.
