Born in 1966, Matthew Evans once trained as a chef and worked as a high-profile restaurant critic, then threw it all away to become a smallholder in Tasmania’s peaceful and picturesque Huon Valley.
Matthew is the presenter of the popular Gourmet Farmer series on SBS, which is in its sixth season, and a spin-off series, Gourmet Farmer Afloat, filmed from the deck of a 40-foot yacht circumnavigating Tasmania. He is also the presenter of two documentaries, What’s the Catch, an eye-opening documentary into the truth behind Australia’s seafood, and For the Love of Meat, focusing on Australia’s meat industry.
Matthew is the author of a dozen books on food, including the authoritative Real Food Companion. In 2019 Matthew released his ethical meat manifesto, On Eating Meat, as well as a new cookbook The Commons, which explores the real-life joys of farm life over the seasons. When he’s not milking, writing, cooking, agitating or farming, Matthew is going to teach his son to fish.
