About

Celebrating 30 years of The Cook’s Companion

Join us at Spicers Clovelly Estate for a truly special culinary event celebrating 30 years of The Cook’s Companion with Australian food icon Stephanie Alexander.

Set on the Library Deck, this intimate long lunch brings together exceptional food, thoughtful conversation and the shared joy of cooking. Guests will enjoy a beautifully curated three-course lunch with paired wines, inspired by the seasonal philosophy that has shaped Stephanie’s approach to food for three decades.

Throughout the afternoon, Stephanie will reflect on the stories, memories and ingredients that have influenced one of Australia’s most beloved cookbooks. Hosted by the General Manager of the estate, the live interview will explore her remarkable culinary journey, the legacy of The Cook’s Companion, and the enduring connection between food, people and place.

Following lunch, guests will have the opportunity to meet Stephanie during a book signing session, creating a memorable moment to accompany a remarkable afternoon of food and storytelling.

Limited copies of The Cook’s Companion will be available on the day. To ensure you don’t miss out, we recommend pre-purchasing a copy when booking your ticket via the add-on option.

This is a rare opportunity to share the table with an Australian culinary legend and celebrate the timeless pleasure of cooking, community and seasonal produce.
