The Culinary Historians of Tasmania

RRP $64.95 HB 400pp

Tasmania has a reputation founded on world class food, wine and natural beauty. Indeed, the State has some wonderful hotels, restaurants, cafes and other, hard to categorise dining experiences for visitors and locals to discover and enjoy.

But not many people ever learn the story behind the menus; the farmers, the produce, the chef’s, the inspiration and, of course, the influence of the Island itself.

Tasmania’s Table provides tourists and locals alike with a comprehensive guide to the highest quality Tasmanian food, drink and culinary life. And, recognising that our hospitality industry does include a large number of visiting workers, Tasmania’s Table will also serve as a window into the provedore industry, enabling locals and industry professionals to shop where the State’s best and brightest source their produce.

Tasmania’s Table is a hardcover book of 400 pages, utilising high standard imagery and modern design that communicates the quality of the State’s hospitality offering. Tasmania’s Table includes:

• Profiles of 50 of Tasmania’s best restaurants

• Profiles of 50 of Tasmania’s best produce, products and producers

• A Tasmanian Wine and Beer Guide, written by industry experts Willie Simpson and Michelle Round.

• A regional ‘Where to buy and taste’ regional provedore guide.

• Enticing stories about Tasmanian chefs and events such as Premier David Bartlett’s new initiative, Savour Tasmania.
