Used hardcover book with dustjacket in very good condition, no marks, writing, tears, loose or missing pages. A very clean, tight copy. This book is now out of print. First edition, published 1991, 250 pages.  

Stephanie's Australia is Stephanie Alexander's third book. It is an evocative account of her personal odyssey around Australia looking at tastes, places, stories and people. It offers a rich portrait of the country and its emerging culinary traditions and was one of the first books to highlight in such a way the growing band of Australian specialist food producers - large and small. Photographs by John Hay and 60 recipes capture the spirit of the ingredients so wonderfully described in this book.

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.
