About the author

Matthew Evans trained as a chef, then worked as a food writer and restaurant reviewer for a decade or so. Matthew has been the café reviewer for The Age’s Epicure section, worked for local and international food magazines, and was The Sydney Morning Herald’s Chief Restaurant Reviewer for five years. He was also the co-editor of the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide from 2002-2006. Since 1997 he has been writing a weekly recipe column for Good Weekend magazine, which also appeared in The West Australian each Saturday for five years. Matthew also shares his love of tucker as the food editor of the weekly magazine, Grazia.

These days Matthew lives the life most of us can only dream about, rearing old breed pigs and chooks and baking in a woodfired cooker on a small farmlet in Tasmania's beautiful Huon Valley. When he's not milking Maggie the fat, soft-eyed jersey cow, he's trying to get vegies to grow where the possums won't eat them. Matthew shares Puggle Farm with his gorgeous boy Hedley and his gorgeous girl Sadie.

Matthew has written, edited and contributed to numerous publications, including recipe books and travel guides. Winter on the Farm is Matthew's eighth book about food. His other books include Kitchen Basics, Never Eat Chicken on a Monday, The Real Food Companion and The Weekend Cook. The Real Food Companion and The Gourmet Farmer Deli Book are also available - click here for more information on Matthew's cookbooks.
