Eating in Season  - George Biron

George Biron lives at Sunnybrae, Birregurra with Diane Garrett where for ten years they ran their legendary cooking school and "restaurant in the middle of a paddock". From this garden setting he continues to design restaurants, kitchens and works with producers and government to enhance the culinary collateral of the area. He writes for magazines and newspapers and won the Food Media Club's Award for best food article on an Australian product in 2004.
He still foolishly believes that the way we approach the kitchen, table and garden can help to settle the waters in these uncertain times.
