Matthew Evans takes food seriously, saying what you buy, how you cook and what you eat impacts way beyond your front door.
The Real Food Companion is a hefty book – more than 550 pages with 200-plus recipes-the result of Matthew’s four decades as a chef, food writer, and farmer, and multiple years’ research.
The information is extensive and enlightening – it’s like having the farmer, butcher, and baker in your kitchen; the produce-driven recipes are simple, delicious and unpretentious. And its core mission is teaching readers how to ethically source, cook and eat real food.
And, says this food activist, if this book’s recipes, insights and observations influence your choices in even the smallest way, and if it brings joy to your table at the same time, his work is done! Murdoch Books, R800.
