“I love it … I wouldn’t see myself doing anything else,” says John Rally, a man who hunts, cooks and makes a living out of it through his Bush River Kitchen restaurant on the Hawkesbury River north of Sydney.
The Origins Foundation, which aims to promote the “scientific, ethical and cultural importance” of hunting, has just released this video featuring John and the success of his passionate calling.
“John Ralley is a highly acclaimed and distinctive Australian chef, particularly renowned for his background as a pâtissier and his current focus on wild game, foraging and wood-fired cooking,” the video’s description reads.
“Following the COVID-19 pandemic and the closure of his renowned patisserie, John Ralley made a significant shift, relocating to the Hawkesbury River. He now runs the Bush River Kitchen, an intimate and exclusive dining experience that embodies his passion for the outdoors, hunting, fishing and foraging.
“Food is the bridge between the natural world and the common kitchen found all over the world. That food can connect people that do not hunt to those that do.
“Food can be used as the conversation starter to ethics of hunting, the result of the hunt and sharing this incredible bounty with friends and family — essentially the fabric of building strong communities all over the world.”
The video, filmed and edited by Wade Kelly of Flow State Productions, runs for just under 8 minutes and is a not just a cool take on bridging the gap between hunters and diners, but it’s a great one to share with your non-hunting friends.
