Growing up in a small town in New Zeal&, Peter Gordon didn`t discover avocados or sushi until he moved to Australia in his late teens. From there he travelled to Asia where a whole new culinary world opened before his eyes. Often dubbed the `father of Fusion cuisine`
- a culinary style that integrates various regional flavours & cooking techniques in order to create innovative new tastes
- Peter reveals in Fusion: A Culinary Journey how he developed his unique culinary philosophy, influenced by his travels around the world, exploring different cuisines, foods, tastes & cooking ideas. For anyone who thinks they have never eaten -or perhaps have no interest in- fusion cuisine, this book is a real eye-opener: as Peter says, without Fusion, the Italians wouldn`t be serving Polenta -as corn & maize are from the Americas; Thai`s wouldn`t have chillies, peanuts or coriander; the Spanish couldn`t serve their delicious grilled toast rubbed with garlic, olive oil & tomatoes -as tomatoes too are from another continent. Illustrated with stunning photography from renowned photographer Jean Cazals, Peter takes us on a journey through Asia, Europe & the Pacific & presents 80 delicious recipes plus the key ingredients that epitomise Fusion cuisine.

The Brazilian football team is one of the modern wonders of the world. At its best it exudes a skill, flamboyance & romantic pull like nothing else on earth. Football is how the world sees Brazil & how Brazilians see themselves. The game symbolises racial harmony, flamboyance, youth, innovation & skill, & yet football is also a microcosm of Latin America's largest country & contains all of its contradictions. Travelling extensively from the Uruguayan border to the northeastern backlands, from the coastal cities of Rio de Janeiro & Sao Paulo to the Amazon jungle -Bellos shows how Brazil changed football & how football shaped Brazil. He tells the stories behind the great players, like Pele & Garrincha, between the great teams, like Corinthians & Vasco de Gama, & the great matches, as well as extraordinary stories from people & pitches all over this vast country. With an unerring eye for a good story & a marvellous ear for the voices of the people he meets, Alex Bellos describes the startling range of football spinoffs found in Brazil; from Autoball, literally football with cars & a giant leather ball to Ecoball, played in the heart of the rainforest, from Button football & its highly regulated procedures organised by fearsome Buttonistas to the truly alarming Footbull (yes with bulls). ...
