The essence of Australia. - Bruce Pascoe

Destined to be a classic. - Yvonne C Lam, The Guardian

Karkalla is vibrant, bold and delicious, but the most special part is Mindy's passion for the awe-inspiring abundance of the world around us. This beautiful book is a way to bring those recipes and those conversations into your own kitchen. - Regan Riskas, Charlie Maas, Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley, and Josey McNamara

Welcome to Karkalla At Home, a "please-use-me" cookbook that brings Australia's incredible bounty of native foods into your kitchen. Chef, author and proud Bundjalung woman Mindy Woods features stories and profiles on more than 40 of the continent's most readily available native ingredients, including the iconic macadamia, citruses, berries, plums, myrtles and seeds, coastal greens and succulents, and a host of exceptional native seafood.

Connect to Country with more than 110 easy and inspiring recipes, including everything from breakfasts and weeknight mains to special occasion centrepieces, along with a vibrant array of drinks and desserts. Featuring photography shot on Bundjalung land by Rob Palmer and artwork and illustrations from First Nations designer Jenna Lee, this gorgeous hardback celebrates the gifts from Country.

Karkalla is the beautiful coastal succulent that chef, author and proud Bundjalung woman Mindy Woods was first taught to pick as a child, and it's also the name of her award-winning, native ingredient-driven restaurant and culinary experience based in Byron Bay.
