If there are none one week they'll generally be there again the next week (it's always worth asking them when they'll have them in next). He also stocks breadfruit sometimes, as do the older Malay couple who have a Saturday stall that backs onto Billy's coffee. Not the time for breadfruit at present, back again in the wet season. We dearly need a food gardening book for the tropics - Leonie Norrington's Tropical Food Gardens is a great start, but more is needed. Another scheme for the future in the back of my head somewhere is to get a range of contributors together from across tropical australia to give guidance on growing various foods in our many and varying microclimates. I didn't have enough room in this cookbook to cover cooking related information on all the produce I intend to cover - it will take at least 4 volumes to get some decent coverage of what grows in our part of the world. So, I intend this to be the first of four volumes. Maybe some of our fabulously experienced gardeners and horticulturalists can be encouraged to write the food gardening book that we all need...

Is the book going to include information on how to grow any of the ingredients?

Man it's a good thing you posted on my site, this is just the sort of thing I've been looking for! Have you been in contact with the cairns gardening club? They have a website if you google them, I'm sure they'll have some tips, although it looks like you're pretty knowledgeable about tropical food. I'm going to try to get to the next meeting, I think it's at the northern beaches. Anyway, I'm off to rummage through your old posts. -Abe (cairnsfoodgarden) Hey!
