Join Ross Dobson, renowned chef at Cafe Royce as he takes us through some hidden gems from Australia’s culinary history.
About this Event

Ross Dobson’s book The Lost Recipes, takes us through over 90 rediscovered and revived Australian classics – thrifty, no-waste recipes from a time that honoured seasonal, locally grown ingredients and truly understood the value of food as comfort. Nostalgic, yes, but completely relevant to today’s kitchens.

Chef and bestselling cookbook author Ross Dobson has a hobby: scouring old journals, newspapers and books for Australia’s ‘forgotten’ recipes. While his research has revealed some shockers not worth repeating, he has come across many more worthy dishes that are missing from the repertoire of modern-day cooks. In The Lost Recipes he sets about righting this culinary injustice by presenting a selection of bygone gems, savoury and sweet, dating from the Victorian era through to the 1950s.

‘There isn’t one recipe in this book that wasn’t, in essence, once a lovely idea. It has been a privilege and joy to bring them back to life – and in a workable condition.’ Ross Dobson
