Winter on the Farm is the ultimate guide to cooking nourishing and hearty food, and will inspire you to create these rich, wonderful flavours as soon as you feel a winter chill in the air.

O autoru

Now starring in the second series of SBS' The Gourmet Farmer, Matthew Evans is the author of several books on food, including his memoir, Never Order Chicken on a Monday, which chronicles his rise from badly dressed Canberra boy to badly dressed restaurant reviewer being sued for his writing in The Sydney Morning Herald. A former restaurant critic who ate out about 500 times a year just for work, Matthew has long been passionate about what we put in our mouths. In fact, he used to be a chef, though by all accounts he's much better now. These days Matthew lives the life most of us can only dream about, rearing old breed pigs and chooks and baking in a woodfired cooker on a small farmlet in Tasmania's beautiful Huon Valley. When he's not milking Maggie the fat, soft-eyed jersey cow, he's trying to get vegies to grow where the possums won't eat them. Matthew's last book published by Murdoch Books was The Real Food Companion.
