The Dirty Chef: From big city food critic to foodie farmer
Matthew Evans
How do you go from being an urban dag to a country boy without any experience of the bush?
In 2008 Matthew Evans, one of Australia’s most powerful food critics, stepped off the Sydney treadmill to farm 20 acres in Australia’s southernmost shire.
What is it really like to take the plunge, leaving a whole world of familiar people, places and work behind? How does it feel to use a cordless drill for the first time, to plant a vegetable garden, to milk a cow, to slaughter a chook for dinner? And what if a TV show is filming the whole process?
This is the story of that transformation. The story of a life more in tune with the seasons and more connected to the soil. A life that is as rewarding as it is exhausting. The story of a family trying to turn a living from the noble and ancient art of growing things on the land.
