    Book Chat: Alice Zaslavsky on ‘In Praise of Veg’

    Alice Zaslavsky (aka ‘Alice in Frames’) is a cook, a writer and an active listener. She broadcasts on ABC Radio and appears regularly on television. Her previous book, Alice’s Food A-Z was the first cookbook to be given a Notable Book gong by the Children’s Book Council of Australia. In her new book, ‘In Praise of Veg’, Alice encourages people of all ages to find the joy in cooking and eating.

    In her book chat, Alice discusses what drew her to writing ‘In Praise of Veg’, which vegetables get the worst rap, and shares how her Georgian and Jewish heritage influences the way she cooks.
