Mood for Billy's Cooking
Excitement filled the Westfield Sydney air as Masterchef contestant Billy Law launched his much awaited cookbook to adoring fans at Chinta Ria Mood for Love. Canapes were served to those who registered for the free pre-launch book signing event plus plenty of TsingTao beer and wines by Motif and Kesketh. A small supportive army of MasterChef and My Kitchen Rules contestants also graced the limelight providing extra buzz for the fans. Billy's cookbook was on sale for $45 by Kinokuniya. It was great to see so many mouth-watering recipes and Billy's photography and styling is top notch — well done! I'm hoping Billy will one day open a restaurant so I can try his Golden Sand Mud Crab or Deep-fried Soft Shell Crab with Som Tum and perhaps for dessert his very unusual Vegemite Cheesecake which I'm sure will challenge a few to try.
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Great looking cookbook with excellent photography and delicious looking recipes
CONS: I'm not much of a cook so I'm hoping someone will invite me to sample the dishes if they cook ;-)
MUST TRY: Having a better look at the recipes to see if there's any simple ones I might be able to do
VERDICT: A well-attended event that provided opportunity for fans to meet Billy and get a signed copy of his cookbook

It's fantastic for Billy that he has a cookbook out. Just checked and it isn't released in the UK until 1st October, but I'll definitely be buying a copy.
Great coverage Simon! A huge congrats to Billy, the book looks beautiful.
Didn't get the chance to visit the book launch as I'd hope, so it's great to see this review of it. The book looks amazing must get a copy ASAP!
