This book is the celebration of three distinctive characters, thrown together by fate to create a restaurant nobody believed in. Together with a collection of recipes collated from the kitchens of both Red Spice Road restaurants and the team of talent therein, this book shares the highs and lows of operating a restaurant in a city that loves its restaurants - Melbourne.The book is edited by someone who could only be described as Melbourne food press royalty Rita Erlich, who effortlessly brings a sense of order to the words. Rita's long experience includes longterm co-editing of The Age Good Food Guide, editing magazines, writing columns, demonstrating and lecturing, and writing books, most recently Melbourne by Menu: the story of Melbourne's restaurant revolution.The photographs are beautifully shot by Juanita McCleary - a very dear friend of the restaurants and a very patient lady. Her eye for detail and her ability to shoot some sixteen recipes in a short day has made her contribution to this book extremelywelcome, and tantamount to its success.We hope you find this story as enjoyable to read as it was for us to write and share. About The AuthorsAndrew Cameron is the brains and the bucks behind the Red Spice Road restaurants. A restaurateur by default, Andrew has his finger in a lot of pies including furniture design, and photography to name just two. But when he is not in the restaurants trying to leverage one of his ideas or concepts or putting the boot up John or Gavin, you'll find him at his desk at Cliftons Training Rooms, the company that helped start this all and kept this mob in a job. Without him, none of this would be possible, and the other two would most certainly have wound up in the gutter somewhere.John McLeay is the Executive Chef and the creative spirit behind the restaurant. A man with his finger on all things Asian (culinary-wise), John excels at trying something on a street in Pattaya and (through a lot of trial and error) putting it on a menu on some laneway in Melbourne. We are all grateful that most of the time he finds success. We love him dearly and his undying reciprocal love for the restaurantsis reflected in the pride he shows both behind the pass and when speaking to his fans. This small group of people can usually be found on the tables at the restaurants or at the numerous events where he continually demonstrates his apparent inabilityto follow a recipe.Gavin van Staden likes to think he's the boss, and most of the time everyone plays along. Forever the big man, Gavin is definitely the nerdier of the three and is constantly let down by the technology he tries to integrate in the restaurants. When not cursing about takings not balancing from the night before, or groaning about kerning on menus, Gavin does try to keep the peace. We're glad to report he does it pretty well.

The Red Spice Road Story

The Road to QV

International humanitarian-aid nurse and New Zealander Andrew Cameron is the winner of the coveted Florence Nightingale Medal. In this gripping book he recounts his remarkable life nursing in some of the world's most dangerous and challenging locations, including South Sudan, Yemen, Sierra Leone and Afghanistan. He also details his nursing career in some of Australia's most remote settlements, where anything can be waiting at the end of a long and dusty outback road: a major road accident, a suicide, a broken arm, a stabbing. With mordant humour, wisdom and insight, he recounts the challenges, excitements, and huge rewards of a nursing life.

The Inside Story of a Turbulent Decade

Express Newspapers

The Edradour Whisky Distillery is the smallest, longest-running distillery in Scotland and receives over 50,000 visitors a year from all over the world. As the last remaining distillery of its size, visitors get a true sense of how a distillery worked in the 19th century. Everything at Edradour is on a small scale; production levels for an entire year are the equivalent to what a big distillery produces in a couple of weeks, but the whisky is much sought-after and is exported to over 30 countries around the world. The Myth, the Mafia and the Magic tracks the history of the distillery, from the days of illicit distilling in the 18th century through to today and the plans that the current owner has for the future. Along the way, myths about the distillery are dispelled and the true story of how it got involved with the head of the New York Mafia is revealed. The Edradour distillery is loved by visitors and whisky fans around the world, but how did it manage to survive when similar distilleries were closing? What plans are there to preserve its charm, whilst ensuring its future? This fascinating book is an insight into the whisky trade in Scotland, as well as the distillery itself, and is a must-read for all whisky drinkers. Best enjoyed with a wee dram, The Myth, the Mafia and the Magic is the only book specifically on the subject of the Edradour Whisky Distillery and has been written by whisky afficionado and business communication consultant, Andrew Cameron, who works with brands such as John Lewis Partnership, Pearson Plc and PepsiCo Europe.
