Cumulus Inc. is the signed hardcover bible of modern Australian cooking that food lovers hunt for on the used market. Written by celebrated Melbourne chef Andrew McConnell, this 2011 first-edition brings together the boundary-pushing dishes that made his Cumulus Inc. restaurant a global foodie destination. From the legendary lamb shoulder with cumin, garlic and lemon to the silky, cloud-soft scrambled eggs that food writers still rave about, every recipe is photographed in stunning detail so home cooks can recreate the restaurant’s trademark share-plate magic.
What sets this copy apart is the rare author signature on the title page, turning an already collectible cookbook into a one-of-a-kind keepsake. At 233 pages, the book is beautifully illustrated with full-page images of McConnell’s market-driven cuisine, giving readers a visual masterclass in plating, texture and seasonal Australian produce. Hardcover bindings from this original UK print run are now scarce in very good condition, making clean, tight copies especially sought-after by chefs and collectors alike.
Beyond the signatures and photos, Cumulus Inc. captures a pivotal moment when Australian food stepped onto the world stage, blending European technique with Asian brightness and native ingredients. McConnell’s relaxed yet precise voice guides readers through brunch classics, seafood crudos, house-made charcuterie and show-stopping desserts, making the book as valuable for week-night inspiration as it is for special-occasion menus. Anyone who craves the vibrant, produce-first spirit of Melbourne dining—or simply wants a signed cornerstone for their cookbook library—will treasure this copy.
