Sean Dooley is an Australian author and ABC television comedy writer and a well known (in the birding world) birdwatcher and Twitcher extraordinaire. This is his first dabble at novel writing outside of bird watching themes. While COOKING WITH BAZ is easy to read and an at times quite revealing warts and all look at his family the book just didn’t grab me. Sean takes us back to how his parents met married and raised a family – we are not talking Brady Bunch family here, but a family where there are problems, i.e. Baz drinking, but a deep love and respect keeps the family unit together. Sean’s family is probably not that different to many other average families around Australia. The title is a little misleading – not much cooking occurred with Baz, although the fact that Baz came to enjoy cooking is often mentioned. There is one recipe at the end of the chicken dish that after much trying Baz finally got his wife to eat after her chemotherapy treatment. What this book IS though, is a journey of discovery between a son and his father – and the realization that sometimes you don’t know what you’ve got till its gone ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: A moving memoir about fathers and sons, filled with great characters, plenty of hilarity and some quiet tears. '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. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
