ABOUT THE SHOW

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, this beloved book returns in a refreshed edition, with new recipes and updated entries throughout.
Join Stephanie for an evening of reflections on the book’s lasting impact on Australian kitchens, her enduring passion for fresh, sustainable ingredients, and the simple joy of cooking well.
An unmissable conversation with one of the nation’s most respected chefs, food writers, and educators.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Stephanie Alexander AO is regarded as one of Australia’s great food educators. Her reputation has been earned through 30 years as an owner-chef in several restaurants, as the author of 18 influential books and for her groundbreaking work in creating and promoting the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation.
Everything she has achieved and worked towards has been driven by her desire to break down anxieties about cooking, to emphasise the beauty of produce fresh from the garden and to promote the pleasures of sharing around a table. Her strong belief is that the earlier children learn about food through example and pleasurable hands-on experience, the better their food choices will be throughout life.

She was named Victorian of the Year in 2010. In 2013 Stephanie was awarded Officer of the Order of Australia for her work with the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden project.
