Holiday - Tapa dura

Bill Granger's "Holiday" is a vibrant partner to the best-selling "Every Day", continuing the exciting format of reportage style photography, personal chapter introductions and Bill's trademark contemporary, stylish recipes. This is a book about laying down lifetime memories through food, taking time out to cook at leisure, relaxing weekends and lazy holidays. Bill opens his family albums to recall his own special food journeys. The recipes are divided into six beautiful, themed chapters: Outdoors, Barefoot, Harvest, Honeymoon, Fireside and Celebration and flow from the most casual of outdoor summer dining or fireside suppers, to fabulous ideas for Christmas or parties. The food is inspired by Bill's own family occasions and interspersed with memories of his travels, personal celebrations and favourite places. Photographed both in Sydney and on location by internationally acclaimed food and lifestyle photographer Petrina Tinslay, "Holiday" echoes the mood of the award-winning TV series "Bill's Food".

Bill Granger presents food that is visually appealing, relaxed, delicious and full of flavour. A self-taught cook, he runs the three landmark Sydney restaurants, "Bill's". Bill has been a contributor to many publications in Australia and internationally. He is resident food writer for the Sydney Morning Herald's 'Good Living', has a regular column in 'Delicious Magazine' and a food segment on ABC Radio 702 in Australia. Bill also has regular columns in British food publications and in magazines from the Netherlands to South Arfrica, as well as appearing on both Australian and international TV cooking segments. In 2004 Bill launched his debut television series, "Bill's Food", on The Lifestyle Channel in Australia.

A second series is now screening in Australia and on the BBC and is soon to launch in the Netherlands.
