MATTHEW EVANS, MURDOCH BOOKS, P/B, $36.99
Matthew Evans just keeps getting better. Former chef and food critic turned Tasmanian smallholder, The Gourmet Farmer now turns his attention to the question of how to be an ethical carnivore. Whether you are a vegan, vegetarian or carnivore, just read this book. It’s high time we stopped attacking each other and started talking. Evans’ honest and challenging approach helps cut through the arguments and will go a long way to helping us all find a place, the spot we feel comfortable living in when we consider our impact on the world. On Eating Meat is not meant to be a place to end – it’s a place to start… Bravo. KELLI BRETT
