Kumar's Family Cookbook - Softcover

For Kumar Pereira, food and design have always been his passion. The Sri Lankan-born graphic designer and cook started this book as a series of hand-drawn recipes that he made for his sons to cook from when he was going away for a few weeks. Then came MasterChef, where Kumar was one of the most popular contestants – ever! Kumar's Family Cookbook features simple yet luscious recipes, many inspired by the cuisine of his native Sri Lanka, as well as beautiful drawings, family anecdotes, and photos.

Born in Sri Lanka, Kumar Pereira studied typographic design at the London College of Printing. After working in London, he lived in Hong Kong for 18 years, working with studios and agencies and teaching graphic design at the Hong Kong Polytechnic. He left Hong Kong for Australia in 1988 and has worked as an art director, graphic designer, and head teacher of graphic design at the Sydney Institute. Kumar has always had a passion for food and has featured on ABC radio and had numerous recipes published. In 2011, he was a contestant in MasterChef Australia.
