Stephanie has long been an outspoken champion of Australian produce. In A Shared Table, she travels to seven different regions across the continent to introduce you to some of the unsung Australian characters who are helping us change the way we eat and drink.

The seven chapters of this book mirror the episodes in the ABC's television series of the same name. Stunning full-colour photographs and over 80 recipes capture the rich variety of Australian food and life.

About the author:

Stephanie Alexander is one of Australia's most highly regarded food writers. Stephanie has written eleven books, including Stephanie's Menu for Food Lovers, Stephanie's Seasons and Stephanie Alexander & Maggie Beer's Tuscan Cookbook (co-author). Her signature publication, The Cook's Companion, has established itself as the kitchen bible in nearly 400,000 homes. A second edition of The Cook's Companion was published in 2004.

Stephanie is a passionate champion for Australian food producers. She was the original proposer of the Harvest Picnic, which is now an annual outdoor festival bringing together those who produce the food with those who wish to enjoy it.

Stephanie Alexander's philosophy is that there is no such thing as special food for children: if food is good, everyone will enjoy it regardless of age. Her latest publication Kitchen Garden Cooking with Kids, published in 2006, tells the story behind the recipes of the Kitchen Garden at Collingwood College, which Stephanie set up in 2001 in the grounds of a large inner-city school. It includes plans, activities and lists that together make up a blueprint that other schools may wish to follow. The program has given hundreds of primary-school children the opportunity to plant, grow, harvest, cook and eat the very best kind of food - freshly grown, organic, unprocessed and delicious.
