Tetsuya
by Tetsuya Wakuda, Charlie Trotter

Tetsuya is currently thought to be one of the world's best three chefs. He is a "chef's chef" widely admired by other leading chefs and yet is remarkably humble and unassuming. His food takes inspiration from his origins in Japan, but uses the superb produce of Australia, his adopted home. A meal at his restaurant in Sydney is one of the ultimate foodie experiences and recommended if you ever get the opportunity to eat there.

In this book by Tetsuya and his friend Charlie Trotter, the signature dishes from his restaurant are revealed and adapted to make them more achievable. A feast for the eyes, due to the luscious photgraphs, this is a great coffee table book for those who really appreciate fine dining and are looking for inspiration.

The Protein Power Lifeplan : A New Comprehensive Blueprint for Optimal Health
by Michael Eades, Mary Dan Eades

This is the best single diet book that encompasses the latest thinking on diet and health. The authors really try to be comprehensive, rather than the usual "one idea diet books" that hit the bestseller list and then disappear into obscurity. The title includes the word "Lifeplan" to emphasize that this is a way of eating that can guide your food choices in the long term, rather than a diet in the sense of a food fad that you "do" for a few weeks in a desperate effort to lose unwanted weight.

The Eades' (the husband and wife authors) approach is scientifically balanced and refreshingly sceptical. They don't hit the bullseye every time, but overall this book is a great springboard to revolutionising your approach to food and blowing away some of the destructive myths.
