Cibo is 'food with attitude'. Whether it be culinary wizard Kate Fay pushing the boundaries with her scrumptious, imaginative dishes or Jeremy Turner and his team rolling out the trims and trappings of fine dining with panache or having guests roaring with laughter, Cibo has attitude aplenty. The Cibo attitude flows throughout this cookbook as it presents over 100 'wow' recipes that can be prepared and served with restaurant aplomb or cooked as a home meal. And you won't find the standard entree, main, dessert format either. Kate introduces a special section on duck and one on cheese; Hans, the Cibo barman, presents a section on delectable cocktails; and all the staff get involved offering their own recipes in the Staff Meals section. As practical as it is entertaining, Food With Attitude showcases Cibo's love of food and passion for all that goes into producing fantastic meals. It captures one of New Zealand's great restaurants and the people who make it unique.
