Origin

by Ben Shewry

Revered Melbourne chef Ben Shewry uncovers his rural childhood, spent sheep farming, fishing, and learning how perfect a traditional Maori feast, consisting of vegetables and slow-cooked meat roasted underground. His debut book, equal parts autobiography, photography showcase and recipe book, provides a glimpse into the many forces that inspired Attica, his multi-award winning restaurant, arguably Australia’s finest.
