Product Description

Based around four degustation menus, this book highlights the technical mastery and sheer beauty of Martin Benn's food, with its deep connections to Japanese cuisine and flavors and its focus on texture and contrast. Text, design, and photography combine to recreate the atmosphere and the sophisticated, art deco feel of his Sydney restaurant, Sepia. Interspersed among the menus are narrative features exploring the workings of the restaurant, and the stories of its staff and clientele, while location photography captures a sense of old-fashioned, cosmopolitan glamour. Recipes include dual measurements.
