MEDIA RELEASE 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 
 
 
JANE KENNEDYS FABULOUS FOOD MINUS THE BOOMBAH TO BE 
PUBLISHED IN EUROPE AND THE UNITED KINGDOM  
 
Hardie Grant Books is delighted to announce that Jane Kennedy's Fabulous Food Minus the 
Boombah will be published throughout Europe and the United Kingdom in 2010, following the early 
success of the book in Australia. The cookbook, Kennedys first, has achieved outstanding results, 
selling beyond expectations, particularly in what has been a hugely competitive Christmas market. 
 
Hardie Grant CEO Sandy Grant attributes the success of Fabulous Food Minus the Boombah to 
the recipes and the unique way Jane has written them. Jane's book and indeed her food has 
immediate resonance with a very large market - and obviously this is not limited to Australians. We 
have been discussing her book with our UK and European partners and it will be launched in the UK 
this June. We are really confident that the concept and the recipes will find a good market quickly 
and we think this could be the start of a serious career as a food author. 
 
Author Jane Kennedy has responded "I've been thrilled by the reaction to the book. It'll be great to 
try out my non-boombah vibe on another country, although I suspect there are parts of the UK 
where I may be arrested." 
 
Fabulous Food, Minus the Boombah (Hardie Grant Books, RRP $39.95 paperback) was released 
in Australia on October 28, 2009.
