....James, "this is a must-have culinary book for anyone with more than a passing interest
for the present Australian food & beverage industry. No doubt... with your industry friends and all
the top chefs and culinary artists you know.. your new book will be a sensation."
(Quoted by my late culinary friend: Dr. Max Lake (January 2009)The book showcases and promotes the type of products and services that some
culinary professionals need to buy/use daily to achieve top result. It also means
healthy exposure: you will be able to make a lot of new contacts that will be
of future value and re-enforces the brand awareness for your business!
Previous two editions of the “Great Chefs of Australia” series have become very popular
in the commercial gourmet cooks & chefs culinary circles. Featuring some top culinary
personalities who are considered to be the “best of the best” in Australia!

The Australian Government’s Austrade Food & Beverage Division has highly recommended
the past two publications, and sent them all over the world to the Australian Embassies
(Austrade). Australian manufacturers food-service / business managers regard them
as an outstanding promotional tool to showcase business - in order to sell more
Australian produce and services, locally, state-wide and overseas!
PS: The new book "with love and passion" will be dedicated to my late
friend Dr. Max Lake. He was a wine-maker, book publisher of: "Food & Wine Flavour",
"Fragrances of Love", "BEEF" etc. Max was named "the Godfather" of Boutique wines.
Max was also an avid gourmet cook: I can vouch for it...and a food flavour expert,
writing no less than 8 culinary-topic related books. I have many of his personal
signed books on my shelf.

Some comments and accolades...
about our Great Chefs of Australia, first & second book:
" The next best thing;
not having your own cook book published...
is to be in a cook book.. with your name in-it"
"No doubt, this inspiring, complex “first of its kind book” brimming with culinary
hints, tips and recommendations of products and services of first-class suppliers,
with so many experts involved…...the "Great Chefs of Australia-Exposed" book...
will soon become a collector's item" (Alan Magazine Editor, 2008)"James, to be nominated and to be invited by you to participate in
your new book, Great Chefs of Australia "cooking for love and passion",
is almost like winning the lottery. I am sure it will add an extra dimension
to my resume and will open doors for my future career moves."
(Young, award winning chef QLD resort)“James, congratulations and thank you... and your assisting colleagues for doing
this great work... to put Australia's multi-cultural culinary diversity and prowess on the map.
Once they read all about our chefs, you and your culinary colleagues will soon be quite
famous world-over and no doubt attract more tourists to our shores.”
(Sydney Darling Harbour - Restaurateur / Catering Executive)"I will buy and give this book to my very best 100 clients, to my family,
business colleagues and send it to my friends overseas."
(Australian red meat promotion executive)"No other book could be more relevant at the moment: to read about Australia's
multi-cultural culinary society. They say: you are what you eat. Well, we will soon know
all about other people's favourite tucker and booze ...myself and our Australian consular
staff are very interested to see what's new and going on... down under."
(An Australian, 5-star Asian hotel executive chef, working overseas)"James, your book with 120 chefs... is a celebration of many Australian chefs,
and demonstrating our incredible multi-cultural culinary diversity, I look forward to
reading all about the large variety of superb and rare recipes you mentioned to me."
(Hotel F&B Manager - Brisbane)
Over 50 top chefs signatures...
"Whishing you all the best... with your cook book"
James Mussak,
Founding President of the Sydney Chefs Association"This cookbook will be an absolute inspiration for any cook and food lover,
and make us foodies drool. Hopefully, it will attract new apprentice chefs
to our very short of chefs foodservice industry."
