– Members' Lunch with Stephanie Alexander AO
“I believe the earlier that children learn about food through example and pleasurable hands-on experience, the better their food choices will be throughout life" – Stephanie Alexander AO.
Stephanie is regarded as one of Australia’s great food educators. Her reputation has been earned through her thirty years as an owner-chef in several restaurants, as the author of 14 influential books and hundreds of articles about food matters, and for her groundbreaking work in creating the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation.
Melbourne Forum is delighted to host an outstanding chef, author and champion of healthy food and gardens for children and families who deservedly was awarded a AO for her contribution to the well being of generations of Australians.
