Coming up with an exciting new gadget was relatively easy in the 1800s, when the introduction of a can opener was considered front-page news. But things have become a wee bit harder in the 21st Century thanks to show ponies like Alexander Bell and Thomas Edison, who have left us scraping the bottom of the invention barrel.
A million miles away from the over done gloss of Jamie, Nigella and co., Cookbook is that rare breed: the kind of recipe book you won't feel compelled to hide behind the rice cooker when guests come over.
Divided into three courses with accompanying colour code, typeface and linocut artwork by Ned Culic, Jon Campbell and Tin & Ed, Cookbook showcases twenty-four favourite home-style recipes from local food luminaries such as Neil Perry of Rockpool.
Those blissful summer Sundays in the park have edged their way back into our lives, as days lengthen and shirtsleeves can be worn above the elbow without the prickle of goosebumps. We go wherever there is a spot of sun and a mossy patch of green, and we lie there insolently until the very last sliver of light drains away into darkness.

FiveThousand is a subcultural guide to Adelaide, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Adelaide writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FiveThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
