Grow the good life
We felt so inspired flicking through that we strolled down the road to the local fruit market to pick up ingredients for the featured Fig & Rosemary Tart recipe. If a cookbook can get us into the kitchen that fast, it’s safe to say that author Byron Smith and his partner, Tess Robinson, have created a masterpiece. Expert horticulturist and all-round nice guy, Smith designs, installs and maintains edible food gardens on Australia’s east coast for his business, Urban Growers. In the book, Smith shares everything he’s learnt, and together the influential couple have penned an antidote to the relentless pursuit of “doing it all”. Instead of getting swept up in all that faff, they remind you that it’s time to slow down, grow something and enjoy the good life.
