A new cookbook has been released by Tourism Wollongong
called ”We Love the Gong: EAT”. This new cookbook is a tribute to the people, places and plates
that make up Wollongong's
exciting food scene.
Captured by the cookbook's inspiring visuals and
user-friendly format is the vast array of food experiences that fuse
traditional Aussie favourites with Wollongong's rich multicultural mix and sun,
surf and sand lifestyle.
Tourism Wollongong General Manager Greg Binskin said he is
thrilled to be able share the secrets of the Gong's diverse dining
establishments with locals and visitors alike.
"This exciting new book demonstrates there is a lot
more to Wollongong
and its surrounds than our spectacular coastline and the Grand Pacific Drive," he said.

"We believe there are lots of reasons to stop and
explore the great dining options available in the Gong, from creative recipes
and great local produce to the wonderful personalities behind our best
eateries," he said.
The book dedicates a double page spread of inspiring words
and images to each of the 27 included restaurants, cafes, markets and community
gardens, along with a profile of the establishment's chef, cook or owner, and most
importantly, his or her signature recipe.
EATers can learn how to prepare favourites such as 'Market
Fish and Hand-cut Chips' from the iconic beachside café Diggies, 'Duck and
Mushroom Lasagne' from Lorenzo's Diner and 'Tempura Oysters with a Porter Shot'
courtesy of The Illawarra Brewery.
We Love the Gong: EAT is proudly 100 per cent local, and has
been designed using the talents of local suppliers, including graphic designer,
Stan Crinis, freelance journalist Erin O'Dwyer, chef-extraordinaire and recipe
checker Elise Pascoe and photographers Aaron Crinis and Dee Kramer.

Crown Street Mall Amphitheatre, alongside local chefs featured in the book.
