ADAM GUTHRIE Adam is a vegan whose passion for food began with a life-threatening illness and continues today in a lifestyle built around healthy cooking and eating. Adam is a qualified chef and wellness coach who specialises in a wholefood, plant-based diet. He is a passionate advocate for living a simple, healthy and environmentally friendly life. His story begins with a rude awakening when, as an out-of-balance and overweight 39-year-old, he found himself in hospital after an early-morning surf, discovering he’d had a heart attack and being told by his cardiologist that he would be on daily medications for the rest of his life. Adam didn’t accept that his cardiologist’s “solution” of daily medication was the only way of minimising his risk of another heart attack. Instead, he decided he…

WHAT IS THE IDEA BEHIND A COOKLUCK? Cookluck is a get-together with a difference; instead of asking friends or colleagues to “bring a plate”, they bring ingredients from the fridge or pantry that need to be used up. Then, together, you cook and catch up. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED IN THE COOKLUCK AT YOUR OFFICE? HOW DOES IT WORK? Our cooklucks vary from three to six people, but we’ve also had a few cooklucks with nine people, which was great because the feast at the end is extra impressive! Usually, we split into mini-groups of one or two to make a particular dish. For example, one of us might make the salad, while another person grills something in the sandwich press and another pair make something with the electric…

HERBS, HERBS EVERYWHERE Our love affair with herbs began back in the Middle Ages, when the various flavours and aromas helped to preserve meats as well as cover up the rotting taste of meals that couldn’t be refrigerated. Herbs also helped cover other smells, too: as ancient deodorants of sorts, they helped mask the odours of…

At what point does one decide to grow molluscs? For Shane Buckley, it all started a decade ago with golf, beer and giggles. Then a paramedic, he was living in Bermagui on the NSW South Coast when he happened into his future. “I used to play golf with a fellow called Don, who played lots of golf and drank lots of beer and giggled all the time. He was an oyster farmer and I said, ‘Donnie, if a farm ever comes up, let me know, because I want to do what you’re doing — you’re having too much of a good time!’ A farm came up, he told me and I bought it!” The farm was on Wapengo estuary, an area Buckley had fished in and knew well, but he…
