She was an avid gardener, and it was through her I learned the importance of seasonality and just how good fresh, locally grown produce can taste. My culinary career began in Nipaluna/Hobart, where I had […]

Visiting Lutruwita/Tasmania’s chefs and suppliers, it’s not just the quality that stands out; it’s the community. Everyone here seems to know each other, or at least know of each other. The food scene isn’t just provincial—it’s deeply personal. This is a place where reputation matters. How you treat people—whether customers, farmers, or fellow chefs—matters.  “Tasmania

Farming’s loss has been nature’s gain, however, thanks to Ana, Antonio, and the other biologists. Turning the despair of the fleeing farmers into hope, combining the small parcels of land they bought one by one into a protected whole, they founded Faia Brava, Portugal’s first private nature reserve.
