Your host is food journalist Dani Valent. For 20 years, Dani has been writing about restaurants and the people who give them life. But she"s an outsider, a critic, a tourist, a fan. Despite hearing the stories and writing the tales, she"s never really understood what happens behind the scenes. Now it"s time

When he launched Timbre in Tasmania in 2016, Matt Adams told nearby backyard growers that he’d exchange their excess produce for dining vouchers. Without any kind of strategy or a plan, that’s turned into a restaurant that is fed by and feeds community, upending its owner’s notions about what a food business actually is. How does it work? How does it feel? And how can you have a slice of it?https://www.timbrekitchen.com SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND
