Most of the dishes contained in this collection are complete meals, but Mark has also included some smaller recipes and techniques which form the backbone for many of his dishes.

René Redzepi of Noma Retaurant—the World’s Best Chef (2011 San Pellegrino Awards)—wrote in his foreword, “Mark approaches his cuisine with an open mind, dedication to detail, and perseverance that he describes as ‘an eternal dissatisfaction’—this defines his relentless search for creativity with a surprising and disarming intellect. His artistic rigor is demonstrated in the beautiful plating.”
Originally an electrician in the gold mines of Western Australia, Mark Best has come a long way to launch an amazing food career culminating in the creation of his restaurant, Marque. The year 2011 saw the restaurant named in the San Pellegrino Top 100 Best Restaurants in the World.
