The first part of the book is a travelogue of a breakneck journey around the continent of Australia, and the people he met. He brilliantly evokes the majestic landscapes, the places, the people and their history. He also hilariously describes the various calamities and inevitable hiccups that occurred during the filming of the series. In the second half of the book, Floyd gives over 130 exotica recipes from blinding little vegetable curries, dishes for special occasions such as curry fit for a Bishop or sea trout with champagne (in the Cook as well as the pot,) to nifty prawn and seafood stir fries.
