REAL FOOD PROJECTS
Kate Walsh
Self-taught cook Kate Walsh wants us to change our very notion of food—how we shop, cook and think about food. In her first cookbook, she presents 30 essential skills to cook from scratch, using fresh local and seasonal produce. The ultimate goal is always the same; improving our health without sacrificing on taste. Step-by-step instructions and photographs accompany all of the 49 recipes, which range from homemade sausages to cordials, jams and pickles (but the list is much, much longer).
“Modern-day eating habits have led to a broken food system and affected the environment, and the only way to fix this is by going back to the kitchen,” said Walsh.
Designed for the home cook, ‘Real Food Project’ is set to be another winner in the real food movement. Walsh herself became a sustainable food advocate after working on organic farms and with Slow Food USA. In 2012, Walsh developed a community of chefs, growers, butchers and foodies, called Real Food Projects. The initiative currently runs cooking classes in Australia, with the participation of top local artisans.
