Bill's Basics Public Tour

Bill Granger
Bill’s Basics Book Tour
September – December 2010


Bill Granger, hugely popular Australian food writer, television chef and restaurateur has worked his particular magic on over 100 of his favourite classic dishes, bringing them effortlessly into the twenty-first century. Bill’s Basics is a cheat’s guide to making the recipes that every home cook wants to master. Bill has simplified techniques, minimised fussy ingredient lists and given these core dishes a modern twist that’s in tune with our busy lives and passion for fresh and healthy flavours.

Bill will be touring around the UK, stopping off at some of his favourite gastronomic locations- Abergavenny, Bath and his new home town, London. Members of the public will be able to watch Bill demonstrate recipes, have copies of his book Bill’s Basics signed & dedicated and taste Bill’s cooking at specially designed meals- brunch, lunch and dinner.
