Join Paulette and Matthew at the Afterword Cafe for the official launch of Broccoli & Other Love Stories. This new kitchen garden reference is a celebration of 55 food plants: their stories, cultivation, culinary gifts and surprises from a Tasmanian market gardener who is inspired equally by chefs, herbalists, and fellow gardeners as by the seasonal goings on in her own farm kitchen.
Meeting plants is like making new friends. It takes time and, with a bit of care and good fortune, enriches both of you. Eventually, you end up in the kitchen together…
Paulette surveys 11 plant families, many well known, some less familiar – including their surprising connections, like how every single apple is, in fact, a cousin of the rose. Through evocative storytelling and sublime photography by Luke Burgess during a year in her market garden, this book is an invitation to slow down, grow something you can really taste, and appreciate nature’s bounty.
Be quick, as tickets will sell fast to this celebration.
