Am I the only person in the world who hasn't seen a thing by this bloke?
I don't have pay TV....I am a dinosaur!

Sir G, I don't have pay TV either, but I love his cookbooks. Probably both of us are dinosaurs but what the heck?

sorry to burst your bubble rita, but he doesn't write the recipes. he hasn't for a while.......not bad for a guy that gets $1 million per book!

Who is he?

Anon 8.22 - how do you know that? Not that I don't believe you, but when you actually analyse a recipe, you can probably see a resemblance to other similar recipes. What are the differences? Well, those differences probably make it YOUR recipe - so presumably you then call it your recipe.

I've read discussions recently on other blogs about that very issue, and found it a really interesting topic.

Anon2 - you are SO behind the times!!! He's another of those celebrity chefs from Sydney, like Kylie Kwong or Neil Perry - all of whom seem to produce magnificently illustrated cookbooks which make me drool and need to buy them whenever I see one!

Thanks, Rita!
I certainly know about Kylie and Neil and I still count Tetsuya's as my finest dining experience ever, but I'd never heard of this bloke. You learn something every day.
Cheers

They said Bill Granger was in town,
strutting across the scene.
but old one-eyed Kid Grumpy vowed
he won't make me a has-been.
He saddled up and moseyed down,
to where the good folks chowed,
And called for fast-gun Granger to stand up tall and proud.
You may be fast-food friendly,
Kid G said with a grin,
But you don't stand a chance with me when I've been out on the gin.
Now, Granger feinted left and said right, let's have a barny,
And bluffed old Grumpy limped on home to some cocoa and a sarny.

Think I'll stop here....!

That is absolutely beautiful Sir G.
You're a right Wordsworth, or is it wordsmith?
