Q&A with Matthew Evans

Supporting sustainable farming to appreciate the true taste and flavour of real food Matthew Evans Ever wondered why one carrot, one piece of lettuce, one piece of meat tastes better than another? Ever wanted to put less effort into cooking, and more pleasure into eating?  It all comes down to sourcing as much as saucing. How what you eat was grown, handled, chosen and processed has implications on its flavour, and therefore your pleasure. All of that matters, even before you hit the kitchen. Gourmet farmer, Matthew Evans, demystifies the how, the why, and the what, to help you put dinner on the table, be it for a slap-up occasion or a Tuesday night hurry-up meal. It’s all about soil to stomach, using Matthew’s experience of over four decades of cooking, tasting and growing food, all condensed into one volume. It’s the greengrocer, butcher, baker and fishmonger by your side. It empowers you to make better decisions for yourself, your dining table, and the world as a whole.  We all want better meals on the table, and better outcomes for our land, and The Real Food Companion is the guide you need by your side.
