These pictures were taken in mid-2007 during a visit to Rockpool. Due to problems with the site (mentioned earlier) the article never got published. However, I still love the pics and some of the dishes are still current and on the menu. Just thought I would share the pictures and use them to celebrate one of Australia’s most celebrated and relevent chefs, Neil Perry.
