make a fire. fake a fire. roast your oysters. dance for pipis. slow
it down. raise a toast. take lunch. grill a salad. bake a crab.
step outside. burn your pav. pass the salt. eat with your hands.
chew on the bone. Ester is an invitation to play with your food and
enjoy the adventure. It's born of an eponymous restaurant in inner
Sydney, but it's proudly not a restaurant book. Think of it more as
the foundations for some new ideas in your kitchen and at your
table; written to be used, shared, read aloud, perhaps burnt. Mat
Lindsay's cooking resists easy labels. Certainly it's a distinct
kind of full-flavoured Australian food: generous, mindfully chosen
seafood; darkly caramelised wood-fired bread; vegetables cooked to
just the right level of doneness; meat that's been treated with
respect and, often, time; and the odd burnt pavlova, a true
signature. Ester the restaurant is all about its wood-fired oven
and the magic it imparts, but the fundamentals don't change at
home, and everything in this book can be made delicious wherever
you live. The ethos of Mat's acclaimed and widely beloved
Chippendale restaurant has always been to offer guests a no-rules
good time and the intention within these pages is just the same.
Whether it prompts you to rethink the possibilities of toast, roast
your fruit, try the classic cauliflower, or embrace Sunday lunch,
the Ester playbook presents many ideas to cook and live by.
