Eat Hello

:: Grow Gather Hunt Cook

December 5, 2011

If you are anything like me, you love cooking shows.  My idea of a good time is a nice glass of wine and some snacks in front of Gourmet Farmer or French Leave or The Wild Gourmets In Spain.  But if you don’t want to go to Tasmania or France or Spain, maybe you’d like to go to the wilds of Ballarat with local fella Rohan of Whole Larder Love?!  I think you would like that. Rohan’s made an online foodie show with the ABC! Argh! An online show? With the ABC? That totally smacks of innovation and awesomeness to me.  I have just watched the first episode and you can too.

Watch Grow Gather Hunt Cook Episode One here.
and a bit more here.

I really love Rohan’s approach to food.  He cooks family friendly stuff for his lady and their kidlets. He sources his produce locally. He takes the time to make simple things beautifully and he doesn’t underestimate the deliciousness of robust, seasonal, made with love dishes.  He’s not fussy and complicated : he’s confident and dedicated.  AND his approach is passionate and boots n all.  It’s not fancy-schmancy-overthinky-arrangey-composey-piffley food.  It’s real food for real people like US!  People who might accidentally spill sauce on the table or have pesto in our teeth.

From garden to kitchen to plate to fork. That’s Rohan… Ta dah!

Rohan’s also written a book (due out next year) and you may have caught him last week at The Design Files Open House, too?  He was one of our Bloges back in early August, you may remember!  I’m in no way surprised that he’s got his own show. Nope.  I can’t wait to watch more.  There will be a new ep online every day this week, don’t miss out!

You can virtually visit Rohan and family at Whole Larder Love or peek into their house here at Lucy’s blog!  You know he’s also a rad photographer, right?  Yep.

So. Yo. Are you going to watch, Ro?

Do it. You know you want to. Click over right now and have your dinner problems solved in a jiffy.
