Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Dukkah-style roasted sweet potatoes sliced thirty times

    • e_ballad on January 11, 2018

      These are great! And really not too complicated (I confess, I just kept slicing rather than counting the number of slices!). The rest is: collect spices, mix & bung on top right at the end of cooking, add a little more time in the oven, then serve. Easy. And looks deceptively like you’ve spent ages preparing the dish!

  • Broccolini, caramelised onion and goat's cheese frittata

    • e_ballad on June 25, 2018

      Easy to prepare the components in advance, this was a good frittata recipe, however, I’m anticipating that it will be hardly memorable.

  • Lamb and chickpea balls

    • e_ballad on May 19, 2018

      Wanted to love these as they seemed similar to the authors’ rissole recipe in another book (which are fantastic), but unfortunately, we weren’t blown away by these meatballs.

  • The perfect Anzac biscuit

    • e_ballad on April 26, 2020

      Very good? Yes. Perfect? No. The CWA recipe reigns supreme.

Publishers Text

The ducks have spread their wings.

After the incredible success of their Bronte cafe, Mark LaBrooy, Darren Robertson and the the rest of the Blue Ducks upped sticks and opened a new restaurant and produce store at The Farm in Byron Bay. Here, they have nurtured and built upon their garden-to-plate ethos to create real food that is locally sourced, reared humanely and supportive of the local community. At The Farm, the Ducks' love for sustainable food is taken to the next level as they cook with the produce that is literally on their doorstep, creating new and exciting dishes while learning the ropes of farm life.

This book is the sum of their adventures. It is filled with the very best recipes that celebrate their love for good food: from simple salads and veggie dishes with bold flavours, to the ultimate barbecue recipes that will have you building your own fire in no time. There are recipes for foraged foods that showcase the true bounty that the Australian land and coast have to offer, while the Ducklings chapter will keep the little ones quiet, even if just for a while. Those with a sweet tooth can indulge in the Ducks' finest cakes and desserts from their sweets cabinet, and you can toast the success of your new culinary creations with some of the most inventive cocktails around.

The Blue Ducks in the Country is accessible, creative and truly makes the very best of the produce available to us.
