Chef Feature: Sarah Glover

Modern Huntsman Volume Six: Resilience

The ambient noise of waves crashing and birds singing their approval breaks over the line first. Sarah Glover is checking the surf report when she answers my call from half a world away. Her Australian accent and easy, joyful laugh place her perfectly on the sunny coast of Tasmania, where she was born and raised and resides again today. A childhood of island exploration, and tea breaks to play in the kitchen, led her to culinary school at 16. An education in traditional French cuisine took her on a laborious path where the mile markers included her own restaurant in NYC, and a bakery in Bondi Beach, before she returned home to find that the recipe for her own life was waiting in the bushland of ‘Tassie.’

For Chef Glover, the missing ingredients were always fresh air and an open flame. Today, she takes people outside and off-grid with her catering business, Wild Kitchen. Armed with a knife, and a few basic tools of the trade, Sarah teaches workshops for adults and children alike, where she encourages people to use local ingredients from the farm, field and sea in their quest for self-sufficiency.

The author of the Wild Adventure Cookbook shares her thoughts on ingredient sourcing, wild game cooking, international food traditions, recipes for fresh kangaroo, and what she isn’t rogue enough to try.

Loved talking with Sarah and being able to share her story in Modern Huntsman Volume Six. Special thanks to @stefan_haworth for the beautiful images, and @eliascarlson for bringing it all together into one of my favorite designs this issue.
