Recipes for a Good Time

Beautifully made, this is a book which captures the spirit of Argentina and the joy of good food, eaten well

The kitchens of Argentina are the inspiration for the sensational food at Sydney restaurant Porteno. Voted Best New Restaurant by theSydney Morning Herald, Time Out Sydney, and Gourmet Traveller in 2011, chefs Ben Milgate and Elvis Abrahanowicz continue to wow packed houses with super-slow-cooked meats and seafood, alongside fresh and inventive vegetable dishes. This relaxed and exuberant atmosphere translates perfectly to their new book—collecting 50 of their best known recipes from Slow-Cooked Lamb to Suckling Pig, mouth-watering crispy-fried brussel sprouts, accented by their luscious cocktails the beautiful photography will transport you to Buenos Aires by way of Sydney. Includes dual measures.

Ben Milgate and Elvis Abrahanowicz made a splash in Sydney's restaurant scene when they opened Bodega, a Spanish/Argentinian tapas eatery in 2006. Four years later they launched Porteno, their local take on an Argentinian asador, which has won a host of gourmet awards and firmly established the pair as two of Australia's hottest restaurateurs.
