Book launch:
The Gourmet Farmer Deli Book
Nick Haddow, Ross O’Meara and Matthew Evans
Fullers Bookshop, Thursday, August 30, 5.30pm
Tasmania’s best-loved foodies are back with a vengeance to launch their latest culinary offering – in book form!
The Gourmet Famer Deli Book will be launched at Fullers Bookshop on Thursday, August 30 at 5.30pm by singer and vocal specialist Maria Lurighi.
It is expected that the ticketed event, which will be catered for by food curator and flavour educator Jo Cook, will sell out.
This book follows on from the Gourmet Farmer television show – and asks the questions ‘why would you make your own sausages, cure your own ham, pickle your own fish or
preserve your own vegetables?” – and answers it with simplicity: “because it tastes better.”
The book: celebrates the artisan process in making items typically found in your local deli – from cheese and cream to cured and smoked meats to pickled fish and vegetables. And secondly it provides simple, delicious recipes where those ingredients are the stars of simple, rustic, flavoursome dishes. This beautifully photographed book celebrates the way we used to cook and food how it used to taste.
The authors: food writer and former restaurant critic Matthew Evans left Sydney to run a smallholding in Tasmania. He runs a market stall with former chef Ross O’Meara selling salami, rillettes and smallgoods made from free range pigs they breed themselves. Cheese maker Nick Haddow owns and runs Bruny Island Cheese Company, south of Hobart. Nick Haddow has recently been awarded a Churchill Fellowship.
