Stephanie Alexander is a national treasure whose indefatigable determination and uncompromising dedication has forever influenced the eating habits of Australia. 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. The Cook’s Companion is regarded as an Australian classic. In 2014 Stephanie became an Officer of the Order of Australia in recognition of her work with the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation.
Her newest book The Cook’s Apprentice is the essential teaching cookbook for the younger cook (or the not-so confident older cook) who’s just starting out. This wonderful book is full to the brim with everything new foodies need to know to become relaxed and confident in the kitchen. The Cook’sApprentice gives those new to cooking the inspiration needed for a lifetime of enjoyment in the kitchen.
