About the Author
The fourth of five children to Jean and Frank Godenzi, Trevor was born in Traralgon, Victoria, Australia. His interest in cooking developed after leaving home at eighteen to work on an irrigation farm at Coleambally in the Riverina district of New South Wales. Having to cook for himself, Trevor quickly learnt some basic recipes that got him through, even then adapting them to suit his tastes.
Cooking took a backseat for many years while Trevor concentrated on several career moves until finally settling on work within the disability and aged care nursing sectors. Before long though, the cooking urge returned and in 2016 Trevor opened the Gaudenzi Wine Bar (now The Penny).
Six years later, Trevor no longer owns the wine bar, instead moving on to posting recipes in the online SBS Food recipe group. From that and his wine bar, the idea grew for this cookbook.

What is an Interactive Book?
When I first started to cook in any serious fashion– in the day before there were many cooking shows – I’d use a lot of cookbooks. I’d read the recipes fervently and follow them verbatim, yet I would quite often have to repeat parts or study the steps at length to get how it was done. After a while, I started to think about how people read and interpret recipes.
Through my SBS recipe postings, I would get people asking me how I did certain steps within the recipe; it made me wonder whether merely writing the recipe would be enough to convey ‘how’ to do it.
This is when I came up with the idea of filming tutorials and using QR codes within my cookbook as a visual way for people to see how a part of the recipe is done. Being able to read and see how a recipe is achieved can only be beneficial.
