 Author Profile: Al Brown

Al Brown, celebrity chef and owner of Wellington restaurant Logan Brown, is also the star of the hugely successful TV shows Hunger for the Wild, Coasters and the upcoming Get Fresh. Al's profile is continuing to rise, with his new Auckland restaurant Depot which opened in September 2011.

In his new book,
Stoked: Cooking with Fire, Al goes back to basics, working with the natural flavours of food and reverting to time-honoured cooking methods. He concentrates on embracing the imperfections and enjoying a simpler way to prepare food.

Al will be in Wellington on 10 October at the next Dominion Post Write Stuff event , click here for more details.

Stoked will be on sale in New Zealand stores on 7 October.
