Sinopsis

In 'The Wild Garden,' W. Robinson explores the intricate relationship between nature and human intervention, presenting a compelling argument for a more organic approach to gardening. Written in an accessible yet eloquent style, the book weaves together practical advice with philosophical musings, positioning it within the broader context of the late 19th-century gardening movement. Robinson's work advocates for a wild, untamed garden aesthetic, drawing on influences from contemporary thought and the emerging notions of nature conservation, inviting readers to consider the harmony between cultivated spaces and the natural world. W. Robinson, a horticulturist and author rooted in the Victorian era, is celebrated for his passionate belief in the beauty of spontaneous plant life. His personal experiences'Äîincluding his struggles against the rigid formalism of traditional gardening'Äîserved as catalysts for this transformative text. Robinson's dedication to preserving native flora and fostering biodiversity in gardens reflects his pioneering spirit, as he sought to redefine the evolving perceptions of landscape and aesthetics that prevailed in his time. This book serves as an essential read for both novice gardeners and seasoned horticulturists alike, as it offers insightful strategies for creating ecologically sustainable gardens. Robinson's emphasis on authenticity and the celebration of imperfection invites readers to embrace a more naturalistic gardening aesthetic, making 'The Wild Garden' not only a manual for gardening but also a profound meditation on our connection to the environment.

    Uses for Obsession - A Chef's...

    An intimate, searing and hopeful memoir meets manifesto that reframes the way we think about restaurants, cooking, hospitality, leadership and humanity from one of the most respected chefs in the world. 
     
    Chef and restaurateur Ben Shewry knows obsession well. Whether it's crispy-edged lasagne, saltwater crocodile ribs or the perfect potato, obsession is what motivates him and what makes him tick. It's also what has propelled his Melbourne restaurant Attica into the league of the most innovative, acclaimed dining experiences in the world, and one of the most vital in Australian history. 
     
    In this absorbing and wide-ranging memoir meets manifesto, Shewry applies his sometimes searing, sometimes comic eye to creative freedom in the kitchen, food journalism, sexism in hospitality, the fraud of the farm-to-table sustainability ethos, the cult of the chef, cooking as muse and the legendary Family Bolognese. 
     
    Raised on a farm in a close-knit rural New Zealand family, he shares how a childhood surrounded by nature and a reverence for First People's cultures has influenced his work, the values he lives by, and the meticulous, inventive multi-course menu that is synonymous with Attica. Uses for Obsession also tells the intimate, desperate story of how Attica survived 262 days with an empty dining room. How, during a time of epic hospitality transformation, it morphed into a takeaway food business, a merch shop and a summer camp. He was told it couldn't be done and that doubt both tortured and drove him. 
     
    At its heart, this is a positive story, an antidote to the macho chef culture that thrives on old ideas about leadership and success. Shewry prosecutes the compelling case for a new way forward. A bold blueprint for the restaurant - and workplace - of the future. One built on kindness, community, truth and a commitment to never giving up.
