Description
A cooking school, a farm, a household of eccentric animals, and 250 delicious recipes from Tasmania's queen of the kitchen, Sally Wise.
Renowned cook Sally Wise always wanted her own cooking school—and her own farm, where she could grow the produce she wanted to cook with. One day she and her husband came across a property in Tasmania's Derwent Valley with an orchard full of fruit trees, and a funny old chalet out the back. A plan began to take shape...
In A Year on the Farm, Sally shares 250 recipes she's gathered over a year of growing, cooking, setting up school and house—and managing an eccentric household of family and other animals.
Like Nigel Slater's Kitchen Diaries, and Sally's early bestseller, A Year in a Bottle, this is a charming portrait of tree-change and a cookbook to treasure.
