It is very different from the children's and young adult books I normally write. My very first writing tutor, Jean Hibberd, said 'write what you know' and she was right! This book is about our eight year journey as suburbanites who bought a rundown farm, knowing NOTHING about farming. Here is a little about it:
Crumbleton Farm – Recipes for Life is a lush book, full of goodies and shares family favourite recipes from around the world, passed down the generations. It is also the story of one family, who bravely left mainland suburbia and bought a rundown farm in Tasmania, where they learned about soil, animal and human health and ways to grow food without chemicals. There are recipes for becoming less dependent upon supermarkets and for taking back some of the control over our nutrition. Many friends and family members added their precious family recipes to this collection from all over the world, providing stories behind these dishes, snippets of what life was like in childhood days and the love and care that went into the preparation of meals for family.
In an age where so much of our diet is made up of ultra-processed, packaged foods, this volume reconnects us to a time when food was fresh and made from scratch. In our busy lives there are still ways to ensure we provide nourishing meals for our children and visitors, ways to celebrate our dedication and commitment to good food, served simply. Crumbleton Farm – Recipes for Life is an heirloom book, to pass on to future generations and keep us in their hearts.
Crumbleton Farm – Recipes for Life ISBN 9798195621636 will be released online July 1st 2026. A book launch is planned for Sunday June 28th at HIVE Tasmania, so if you are around, pop in! Copies of all my other books as well will be available on the day.
