Shortlisted, Best Designed Book Priced at $50 or above, Australian Publishers Association Design Awards, 1997 Described by her peers as the 'grande dame' and 'high priestess' of Australian food, as a cookery teacher and food journalist, and as Food Editor for the Vogue publications in Australia, Joan Campbll has contributed to culinary tastes and styles for more than thirty years. Bloody Delicious! interweaves anecdotes from Joan's varied and colourful life with a true feast of recipes. Like her own life, the 280 dishes she has included mirror the evolution of food and food style in Australia this century from the scones, roasts and puddings of pre-war country life, to the elegant francophile fare of her society catering days, to the distinctive polycultural cuisine of the nineties. Bloody Delicious! serves up nearly a hundred years of Australian cuisine from lamingtons to lemongrass in one glorious book.
