Four new home and cooking books to inspire you this July
On Eating Meat by Matthew Evans
In On Eating Meat, food critic, chef, farmer, television presenter and restaurateur Matthew Evans grapples with the contentious topic of the means of producing and consuming animals. He examines feedlots and abattoirs, organic farms and his very own farming practices to appreciate what we are doing and why. This book could be placed in the same bucket as Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals, but here we are being guided by our very own beloved Matthew Evans.
Lunchbox Express by George Georgievski
George Georgievski is a ‘hands on’ parent that has surpassed any of us mere mortals by producing lunchbox feasts for his daughters that would make any child, parent and teacher in the vicinity envious. Georgievski started his lunchbox odyssey by conceiving the now hugely popular School Lunchbox blog that celebrates healthy, fun and easy lunches for school children. This book, with over seventy recipes grown from that very blog, will inspire your children and you.
