About

Stephanie Alexander will be in conversation with Alex Sloan on the 30th Anniversary Edition of The Cook's Companion.

The Cook's Companion has established itself as the kitchen ‘bible’, ‘the book for a lifetime of cooking’, which has sold over 550,000 copies since it was first published in 1996. In 2026, to celebrate thirty years of this iconic book, Stephanie Alexander has added over 90 new or newly revised recipes as well as doing a full update of the introduction, ingredients, equipment and a new ‘how to use this book’ section.

The vote of thanks will be given by Canberra based food writer and chef Lucy Ridge.

Books will be available for signing from 5.30pm and again after the event.
