A Feast of Dark Delights

Immerse yourself in deepest darkest winter with this sumptuous tome celebrating our coolest season.

Set your taste-buds on fire as you embark on a thrilling gastronomic rollercoaster ride that takes you from Mona’s spectacular Dark Mofo Winter Feast, to the dark dinners, midnight banquets, late-night supper clubs, and magnificent fire feasts that ignite lutruwita/Tasmania’s cold, dark nights.

Revive your corpses with a cornucopia of Dark Mofo-inspired cocktails conjured by some of Tasmania’s most loved distilleries and bars. Master the flames with Mona’s Heavy Metal Kitchen; learn how to build an Aboriginal earth oven, and unearth what produce to grow and forage for your winter table. Dive into two deliciously dark tales, or delve into the mysteries surrounding some of the world’s ancient winter solstice sites and ceremonies, as well as discovering different cultures eat at this auspicious time.

Much more than a cookbook, this beautiful multi award-winning coffee table book is brimming with stunning images, culinary inspiration, tips and tricks, as well as more than 200 recipes generously recreated and shared by some of Tasmania (and Australia’s) most lauded food producers and chefs, including from Mona’s iconic Heavy Metal Kitchen, inspired chef collaborations from Mona’s Dark Mofo Winter Feast; signature dishes from Willie Smith’s Apple Shed and the Huon Valley and Willie Smith’s Midwinter Fest,. and the wonderful WinterWild, Feast of the Beast and Winter Fire Festivals on the ‘big island’.

Let the Bacchanalian Banquet Begin!
