The Kitchen Hand: A Miscellany of Kitchen Wisdom

Anthony Telford wrote The Kitchen Hand out of frustration at trying to find quick answers to questions raised by his own cookbook collection. He has worked for 18 years as a professional cook. Telford has written about food for the Herald Sun and other publications, was co-presenter for three years of 'Chewing the Fat', the often controversial food segment on radio 3RRR, and was chef-presenter for the Channel 9 series 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?' Often asked to speak and lecture at hospitality colleges, he has also been a regular demonstrator at food events and sat as a committee member for the Australian Culinary Federation. Telford recently moved with his wife and five children to the rural surrounds of Byron Bay, where he continues cooking, eating, writing and cooking.
