Sean Dooley

Cooking with Baz (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Baz and my culinary tastes had, like virtually everything in our lives, moved in different directions. He was a meat and three veg kind of bloke. Me, well, I didn't know what kind of bloke I was.' Sean's dad, Baz, believes in making the most of the good things in life - beer, races and footy. Sean is a studious, birdwatching kind of guy. When Sean's mum, Di, starts treatment for cancer, it is cooking, of all things, that brings father and son together. Baz starts whipping up Japanese fish parcels and braised lamb shanks with polenta to tempt Di's flagging post-chemo appetite and Sean is impressed. When Baz gets the bad news that a lifetime of drinking and smoking has caught up with him, it's suddenly Sean's turn in the kitchen . . . As much about the changing landscape of Australian male culture as it is about losing loved ones, Cooking with Baz will make you laugh and get a lump in your throat, often at the same time. And you'll think about what 'family' really means.

Autorenporträt

Sean Dooley is a Melbourne author who works as a television comedy writer. He has a weekly spot with 3RRR Breakfasters and is a regular contrubutor to The Age and ABC radio where he talks about birds, environmental issues, sport and, well, anything really. His greatest claim to fame is that in 2002 he broke the Australian birdwatching record for seeing the most species in one year. He then wrote about it in The Big Twitch, thereby outing himself as a nerd. He's part of the writing team for the ABC's hugely successful Spicks and Specks. Sean is married to Eleanor and they have a one-year-old daughter, Edie.
