BIOGRAPHY
Stephanie Alexander was the owner and chef of the award winning restaurant "Stephanie's Restaurant" which was located in Melbourne from 1976-1997. She is the author of over 12 books including her absolute best selling book "The Cook's Companion". Her latest cook book (The KItchen Garden Companion) published in late 2009, encourages people to use fresh and seasonal food.
The victorian chef had a strong belief that children should be educated about healthy food beginning from a young age through experience in the kitchen and garden. This lead to the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation which was established in 2004. The foundation teaches primary school children about eating healthy, fresh produce. This victorian based program has now been initiated in over 139 primary schools around Australia.
Stephanie Alexander won an Order of Australia for her contributions to the hospitality industry, tourism and for encouraging young apprentices. She also made a guest appearance in channel ten's hit series Masterchef.
