We all want more air in our lives. Brighter skies, slower days, more time for growing, for cooking, for family. In The Commons: A Year of Growing, Cooking and Eating on Fat Pig Farm, a book inspired by the hit SBS television show Gourmet Farmer, Matthew Evans captures Fat Pig Farm’s year of growing, cooking and feasting. It’s part how-to, part evocative diary, part cookbook (with more than 100 recipes). It’s the perfect inspiration for those about to embark on a simpler life, a handy reference for those who already have done just that, and a vicarious solution for those who just want to dream the dream without leaving home.
