If you like food as much as me, you’re gonna love this recipe. If I can cook it, so can you, so let me show you what to do.

When friends drop in, it’s fantastic to offer them fresh focaccia bread. But what does a cockatoo know about cooking? You’d be surprised!

Join Shane, the Gourmet Cook-atoo, as he shares his signature recipe: Focaccia. In just a few easy steps, Shane dishes up a lesson in foodie fun that leaves his readers full up to the beak with kitchen confidence. This is an easy recipe to succeed at, and a great way to encourage family cooking fun.

Our narrator, Shane, talks us through his own journey from egg to chef, and shares his confidence, kitchen wisdom, cooking tips, and creative enthusiasm, all while demonstrating his signature recipe, Focaccia.

Cooking With Shane by Maree Coote is sure to inspire both young chefs and their families!
