HUEY COOKS A FEAST

On Tuesday, Iain ‘Huey’ Hewitson launched his new recipe book, Huey’s Bloody Good Recipes, at Barney Allen’s, the restaurant he co-owns in St Kilda. Showcasing recipes from the book, Huey cooked a delicious menu for a select group of Australian media and personalities, which were very well received. It was an afternoon of good food, fine wine and great company.

The menu included prosciutto-wrapped asparagus with horseradish cream, a house salted fish cake with Dijon mustard aioli, oysters mornay, roast chicken presented two ways: the breast on a bed of creamy mash with herb butter and the leg shredded in a Thai slaw. For a sweet treat, dessert was a grilled banana split drizzled in palm sugar and orange caramel.

The recipes contained in *Huey’s Bloody Good Recipes *are designed to expand your cooking repertoire, without any fuss and hassle. The book expounds that good home cooking is not about being a genius in the kitchen – it’s about organisation and good-quality ingredients. An ethos that Huey is passionate about.

Following the launch, Huey embarked on his book tour, starting at Angus and Robertson in Melbourne for a food demo and book signing. He will also appear in Melbourne from Nov 9–14, before moving onto Sydney Nov 17–21, Brisbane Nov 23¬–26, Gold Coast Nov 26, and Adelaide Dec 2–4.
