Paul West - Chef

What this episode covers

This week, we chat with chef Paul West, host of River Cottage Australia and advocate for sustainability. He is also the host of the ABC’s Big Brew Challenge which will air on Tuesday, 8th February. Guided by Australian brewer Samara Fuss, the Big Brew Challenge will see three teams of craft beer enthusiasts compete over 3 weeks for their beer to be crowned champion. During the chat, we discuss the Big Brew Challenge, what he has learned about beer through the process of making the show and the challenges in bringing beer to television. We also chat about Paul's book, Homegrown: A year of growing, cooking and eating, and discuss what the craft brewing industry can learn from the world of kitchen gardening.
