The beginning of this week saw me touring Adelaide for the launch of my newest cookbook 'Maggie Beer's Autumn Harvest'. The Artisan Café hosted dinner on Monday where Jon cooked a delicious 4 course dinner using local & seasonal produce. What a fantastic cafe this is; owners Heather and Jon do everything from scratch using ingredients from their own garden. The food was just lovely and the philosophy behind it a true delight; everything is done with such knowledge and pride. On Tuesday I was at the Adelaide Central Market with Simon Bryant who always keeps everybody on their toes and is so much fun! It was truly a joy being at the market amongst all of the bustle. Tuesday evening we then had the launch at Peter Lehmann Wines; it was so different being amongst my home crowd; it was a full house and a great turn out from people that I've known for years, as well as those that had travelled up from Adelaide. It was so appropriate to be launching this book in the Barossa on the first day of Autumn; the region that inspired every single one of these recipes- MB
