Part recipe book, part travelogue, Eat at the Bar features food anecdotes, narrative and stunning photography from Spain, Portugal, Italy and beyond.
Eat at the Bar shares 55 recipes by chef Matt McConnell, inspired by his travels through Spain, Portugal, Italy, and more. The line-up is the best of the best from more than 10 years of Matt's repertoire of tapas and raciones on offer at Bar Lourinha, the Melbourne spot beloved for its food, booze, collectors’ feel and old-fashioned hospitality. The recipes are inspired by local farmers, providores, fishmongers and suppliers, and are underpinned by the flavors Matt continues to cook with today: garlic, pimento, salt and high-quality olive oil.
Eat at the Bar is more than just its recipes: the narrative invites readers to join Matt on his adventures in countries such as Spain, Portugal and Italy, through anecdotes and stunning photography.
