Written in verse by Culinary Director Alla Wolf-Tasker AM, with stunning illustrations by the late Allan Wolf-Tasker, this heartfelt book tackles themes of problem solving by a colourful, diverse community. It explores resilience, courage, a reflection on greed, the pursuit of personal wealth at the expense of others and the stifling sense of solitude and “aloneness” it engenders. Yet, it also celebrates the joys that are to be had through music, good food and friendship when a community prevails and celebrates. The verses in the book were written some 40 years ago by Alla Wolf-Tasker, who penned the poem, and her late husband Allan Wolf-Tasker, who brought it to life with his watercolour illustrations. The production of the book was paused as both became engrossed with the building of Lake House. It was the arrival of two grandchildren that spurred the resurrection of the little book – Allan completing the illustration in 2022 shortly before his death in December of that year. Alla's intent on seeing the project to fruition has overseen its production. “To my mind its just as relevant as it was 40 years ago. Perhaps more so... And I think its a fitting reminder of Allan's varied skills. The beautiful illustrations will bring much joy to children who’ll no doubt also enjoy the rhyming couplets as much as I once did.” Alla Wolf-Tasker AM Proceeds from the book are being used for bursaries for young enthusiasts in the fields of the Arts, Hospitality and Regenerative Agriculture. All copies sent from Lake House are signed. Book Dimensions - 34 x 26.5 x 1.1cm Framed and unframed A3 posters also available.

Lake House began operating in 1984. Hand built by artist and builder, the late Allan Wolf-Tasker and his chef and dreamer wife, Alla Wolf-Tasker AM, it was simple in its original mission. A 40-seat weekend only restaurant that might emulate Alla’s experiences of top end French regional hospitality in the 70’s. Fine cooking, local produce, seasonality, great service. A restaurant worthy of a journey in itself, not just a detour. 40 years on, whilst Lake House certainly looks much different to what it was in those early years, our guests continue to remark on the connection and inspiration they feel here. Despite those early and very humble beginnings Alla and Allan’s hopes continued to be fulfilled and the legacy lives on. • 500 piece jigsaw puzzle • Presented in a beautiful gift box • Dimensions: 240mm x 210mm • Happy 40th Birthday Lake House belly band • Ages: 10 and up

Australian artist, painter Allan Wolf-Tasker has spent a lifetime studying the Australian landscape. From aerial perspectives along the Great Ocean Road to a drought-ridden Victorian countryside; he has always managed to find an optimistic view of Australia’s diverse terrain. In this most recent exhibition; Allan leaves his studio in Daylesford for the vastly different Far North of Australia, an area he has visited with his wife Alla since the 1970s but never before captured on his canvas. The opportunity to “fully exploit the colour palette” proved too tempting…. "In a sense the subject matter is secondary to the finished effect of these works. I spend considerable time observing, recording and then drafting each image onto the canvas. The aerial perspective from previous exhibitions still plays a major role at times. From that point on though, it is all about the painting. Subject matter will be moved, re-calibrated, distorted or even permitted to morph into something else. Representation begins to take a back seat and fun, optimism and determination in the creative process leap to the fore. The beauty of these pieces therefore, if you agree, is in the dramatism of the finished works …. The leap of faith that they ask you to take in your own assessment and interpretation.” Collectors familiar with his past exhibitions will recognise an evolution in Wolf-Tasker’s painting processes and may be captivated by the increased vigour and brushwork in these latest works. This book features an introduction by ABC's Viginia Trioli and beautiful imagery by Sharyn Cairns.
