REAL FOOD PROJECTS
30 skills. 47 recipes. From scratch.
KATE WALSH
Break up with the supermarket and try some
real food projects at home
Kate Walsh wants to change the way you eat. For too long
we’ve been sold the idea that making our own food is
difficult, time-consuming and not worth the effort. But Kate
knows that cooking from scratch using local produce is one
of the simplest ways to a sustainable food economy, better
health and reducing our reliance on the industrialised food
system. Better still, it tastes delicious!
Real Food Projects details 30 essential cooking skills that
will connect you with food again. Even if you’re a kitchen
rookie, you’ll soon be churning your own butter and
slathering it on your own no-knead bread; barbecuing your
own homemade sausages; or using the season’s freshest
fruits to make your own cordials. With over 45 delicious
recipes to showcase your new talents, you’ll have the skills
you need to survive the twenty-first century with good,
clean, healthy food on the table.
Kate Walsh created Real Food Projects, an active community
of chefs, growers, foragers, butchers and eaters devoted
to getting people back into their kitchens cooking from
scratch. Real Food Projects runs artisan markets, farm-tofork dinners and cooking workshops in inner-city Sydney
and, soon, the Byron Bay hinterland.

CALLUM HANN AND THEMIS CHRYSSIDIS
How to eat simple, good food every day and take

chapters, each with a collection of dishes using readily
available ingredients in season, it also provides nutritional
information for every recipe. You’ll find dishes that use easy
to find, seasonal ingredients; that represent good value
for money; and which require minimal preparation and
clean-up time.

MasterChef and won the 2012 MasterChef All-Stars. He is

120 fresh, elegant, seasonal recipes that cater for every
occasion, from breakfast to dinner, from cocktails to picnics
Simmone Logue and her kitchen team ice hundreds of

a special place in Simmone’s heart and marks a milestone
on her journey to becoming a legendary baker, caterer and
businesswoman… From the early days as the ‘fairy pudding
godmother’, who walked her home-made cakes up the road
to local cafes, to the thriving businesswoman who now
supplies busy people, supermarkets, footy stadiums and
airlines from her artisan bakeries in Sydney. The kitchen is
Simmone’s natural habitat—the heart of her home and her
business, the place where she eats, sleeps and breathes her
passion for food.

wholesaling, retailing and catering with clients including
Woolworths, Qantas, Virgin and Thomas Dux.

NOT JUST JAM
The Fat Pig Farm book of preserves, pickles and sauces
MATTHEW EVANS
Harness the harvest and make real food from scratch with
SBS favourite Matthew Evans comprehensive guide to all
things preserved
Not Just Jam is gourmet farmer Matthew Evans’ ode to
the surplus of the seasons—a collection of more than 90
modern recipes for old-fashioned preserving methods. Not
just for those with their own orchard, but also for those
passionate about flavour. For the freegan, who scours the
suburbs looking for fruit trees. For the cook, who wants
their dishes to resonate with flavours borne from their
own hands.
Anyone can make pear and cardamom jam to brighten
morning toast or beetroot relish to use all year. Lunches
made with apple cider mustard are always the better for the
addition. A bowl of ice cream is transformed with a drizzle
of homemade gooseberry and sour cherry syrup. Use this
book as your launching pad, then adjust the combinations
to suit the place you call home. It’s all about harnessing the
harvest, making real food from scratch and feeling great
about what you feed your family and friends.

activist and star of the long-running SBS TV series The
Gourmet Farmer. He is the author of twelve books, including
Real Food Companion, The Dirty Chef and Summer on Fat

derail his well-ordered life. How would we
have acted in the same situation? This
question hovers over this compelling

BECOMING NICOLE
The extraordinary transformation of an ordinary family
AMY ELLIS NUTT
The incredible and inspiring true story of a transgender girl, born an identical twin boy
Becoming Nicole chronicles an ordinary family’s extraordinary journey to understand, nurture, and
celebrate the uniqueness in us all. It’s the story of a mother whose instincts told her that her child
needed love and acceptance, not ostracism and disapproval; of an Air Force veteran father who
overcame his deepest fears to become a vocal advocate for trans rights; of a loving brother who
bravely stuck up for his twin sister; and of a town forced to confront its prejudices. Becoming Nicole
will resonate with anyone who’s ever raised a child, felt at odds with society’s conventions and norms,
or had to embrace life when it plays out unexpectedly. It’s a story of standing up for your beliefs and
yourself—and it will inspire all of us to do the same.
Amy Ellis Nutt is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Shadows Bright As Glass.
She lives in the USA.
