After ten years away from rattling the pans, chef and food writer Ross Dobson is enjoying cooking again. Dobson, who up until recently was an award-winning food writer in the UK, has recently opened the Café at Lewers in Emu Plains, NSW.
Dobson’s most recent book, Market Vegetarian, includes a wide range of vegetarian recipes for everything from midweek meals, soups and stews to special Saturday night suppers, savoury baking and beautiful sweets. While the Café at Lewers is not vegetarian, Dobson says there are plenty of vegetarian options to make everyone happy.
Dobson is a champion of eating organic, local, seasonal and (thereby) sustainable food. After living in the UK, where finding good seasonal food year round was a challenge, Dobson says he really appreciates the variety of food we get in Australia. ‘Australia leads the world in quality food,’ he says.
