BILL’S HOLIDAY is a seven-part series featuring chef, restaurateur and food writer Bill Granger, showcasing over 40 recipes.
Part-personal pilgrimage and part-travelogue but with the emphasis firmly on food, in HOLIDAY, Bill celebrates the varied produce of Australia from the cooler climes of the south, the tropical and exotic north, the arid red centre and the bounty of the seas, and explores the diversity and physical beauty of his Australian heritage.
In BILL’S HOLIDAY, Bill will meet the characters who are devoted to their mandarins or squid or salt bush lamb, taking inspiration from their anecdotes, their dedication and their spectacular environments. Via Bill and these focused families and individuals, we will get an insight into the culinary fabric of Australia and the history of its food culture. Each episode of BILL’S HOLIDAY features the food of Australia and Bill’s trademark fresh and seasonal dishes, joyful and uncomplicated as ever, and accessible by all, wherever they happen to live.
Go Bill.. we need you to go on another holiday!
125g melted butter, cool. add 90g butter, stir until it starts to dissolve then add 175g plain flour and salt. push into a greased tart tin. do not rest. 15 mins 180C.

I hope to be able to try this soon.
Julieanne, have you got the recipe?, I would really aprreciate if you could share it. Also, are the recipes from Bill´s tv show also in his books?
Hello everybody, my name is Jimena (Argentina). I was wondering, is there any "OST" or something like that? I love the music they play throughout the show!
Does anyone ever read these requests etc? I posted a request 5 months ago and still "no reply"
funny!
Does anybody know the recipe's name and ingredients that include mixing almonds, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, and a drizzle of oil, baking them for about 30 minutes at 200 degrees (or for 20 minutes at 300 degrees)? I'd like to make it, but wasn't sure if I was to add the coconut before or after baking the nuts. It was served on yogurt and had a berry mixed in with it. I figured Eddy's Vanilla Ice Cream would suffice :O Thank you.
Dear Bill, I write from Mexico city and I'm a big fan of you, yours are the greatest warranteed best recipes in the world of best chefs world-wide. I watched the show Bill's holiday South East Pastures, VIC, but could not at the moment write down the recipes, so I wish you could send me mainly the cherry tart recipe. I'm Elizabeth my e mail is elikxxxz@yahoo.com Thanks in advance.
I am a S. African - love the food and also the MUSIC - but what is the name of the album?
Hi Bill,I reside in South Africa and was watching your show this week sunday 10/10/2010 and you made an apple dessert, did not catch the name though but at the end it looked yummy. May I please have the recipe as I'd love to try it.
I would like to get the recipe of brast chiken with ginger. If someone got it please let me know!!! Thanks
It would really be nice if all the recipes from each episode were posted on this site. I'm from the states, Bill's books are so hard to get here. And "Bill's Holiday" cookbook is going in several places for over $150USD. I don't know any reason for such a shortage on his books other than supply and demand--even difficult to procure through Amazon.com. He's a fairly new TV Chef in the states...and a big hit!
I'd really like to have the simple Rice Pudding recipe that is made on the stove top...and not baked. My mother is 87 and claims that it is the same recipe as my Grandmother's--a dish she's not had for over 55 years. I would love to make if for her...all other rice puddings I have made her failed the taste test. If anyone can help me, I'd truly appreciate it.
I lived in Australia in 2004 and loved Bill then. His cookbooks were the only ones I had while we were there! So glad to see him on American television. Plz add a facebook page!
Wonderful show, beautiful food...a pleasure of life!

I too, would love the recipe for Cherry Tart and sausage rolls made with the school kids on the fun day run. Would anyone have it please?
Really LOVED this show, it captured beautifully the laid-back Aussie atmosphere. I also loved that you didn't stick to the traditional 'foodie' areas (ie. the wine regions) and ventured out to less well-known areas. The episode on the Tambo races made me teary with nostalgia. Please Please do another series Bill, you were the highlight of my week.
Enjoying watching 'Holiday' in the UK at the moment. But does anyone have info on the music played throughout the series. I managed to catch from the credits that it is Paul Kelly and Bill McDonald. Anyone know if this music is available somewhere?

Possibly, but since there are some other recipes I thought I might strike it lucky to make it over this weekend, straight after viewing the show.
where's the recipe for coriander chicken ? just watched episode filmed in Belligin ,good show
Can anybody remember what was in the stuffing for that roasted corriander chicken?
As I have the book I shall oblige you with the recipe: CORIANDER CHILLI STUFFING Put the following into a FOOD PROCESSOR - 3 large handfuls of CORIANDER leaves & stems, - 45 G (1/2 cup) DESSICATED COCONUT - 4 LONG GREEN CHILLIES, seeded & roughly chopped, - 4 GARLIC CLOVES, chopped - 2 teaspns GINGER, grated -MIX all in a food processor until finely chopped. Stir in juice of 2 LIMES - & 2 teaspns BROWN SUGAR, & season to taste with Sea Salt & Freshly Ground Pepper. Pre heat Oven to 220oC ( 425oF/Gas 7), Rinse & pat dry 1 X 1.6 KG (3lb 8oz) Free Range Chicken. - With fingers CAREFULLY loosen skin over Breast of chicken & down Thigh area, Push half the stuffing under the skin, spreading to cover BREAST & THIGH, Put remaining stuffing inside the cavity of chicken. Tie legs together with kitchen string. Place chicken, BREAST UP in Large roasting pan,( I would spray pan with non stick oil in can - NO FRILLS $2.) drizzle with Olive Oil, season with S & P Roast for 20 MIN, then REDUCE oven temp to 200oC (400oF/Gas6) & roast for another 50 minutes or until juices run clear when you *** thickest part of thigh (COVER CHICKEN with FOIL if it's browning too quickly). Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving Serve with coconut gravy, roast potatoes & steamed greens (my choice would be broccoli/sugar snap peas) Mary-Leigh if you want the recipe for the coconut gravy or have any hassles you can email me - krystyna6@me.com otherwise ring your local library & see if they have the book I do not think I left anything out DO NOT FORGET TO REDUCE OVEN TEMP after 20 minutes on high temp I hope you make this recipe & enjoy the chook it sounds yummy Regards Krystyna
