Nutella pizza, Queen of Spain cupcakes and a rack of lamb in puff pastry are just some of the culinary delights unveiled in a new cookbook showcasing restaurants in the Macarthur region, located an hour southwest of Sydney CBD.
The Macarthur Cookbook was produced by Visit Macarthur, a partnership between Campbelltown City Council and Camden Council.
The region’s vibrant multicultural mix has created an expanding culture of dining in the area, with a vast choice of cuisines to experience. To help showcase this, head chefs from restaurants in Macarthur were invited to participate in the cookbook by supplying a recipe and an image of one of their signature dishes.
The result includes a variety of recipes ranging from simple, easy to make dishes, through to the exotic.
Campbelltown Mayor Aaron Rule said the cookbook is a unique way of promoting the region’s variety of fine dining experiences.
“With 19 recipes featured from leading chefs and restaurants across the Macarthur region, and a dedicated section on local wineries, it is a must read for all budding chefs or anyone who enjoys good food or dining out,” Councillor Rule said.
“The cookbook enables people to sample some of Macarthur’s finest cuisine at home, and then head out to experience the dishes the way the professionals make them in their restaurants.”
The cookbook is available for $15 from the Campbelltown Visitor Information Centre and the Camden Visitor Information Centre.
