Myself & Australianflavours.com.au are proud to have now got to the stage were our very first cookbook is set to be self-published. The Tea & Honey Cookbook project has been in the pipeline for some time now, both myself and my good friend and photographer Benjamin Townsend have put countless hours, effort and funds just to get where we are now.
We are very happy to be seeing the end product of this fascinating cookbook, which is so close now we can taste it, and we hope to take the lessons we have learned from creating this project and focus them on a new and exciting one.
A little more about the project….
Tea & Honey – a Cookbook Project
With our cookbook we wanted to explore the range of flavours and combinations that could be created with these two ingredients. We have attempted to push the boundaries of what is considered the common uses of tea and honey, and create a selection of delicious and one-of-a-kind recipes. Coming from Australia and its culturally diverse society, the recipe concepts originate from a broad cross-section of regional influences.
Additionally, we wanted the book to be as visually stunning as the recipes are delicious, with beautiful photography and design. We want the book to be prominently displayed (hopefully on your kitchen bench) as you experience creating the flavours incorporated within.
Its intention is to promote the return of eating for taste and flavour, and highlight the use of quality and locally sustainable produce to create delicious food.
