ABOUT THE TITLES & GUESTS
Cookbook author & tv personality Alice Zaslavsky
A former high school teacher and MasterChef Australia crowd favorite, now food judge, television and radio broadcaster, writer and food literacy advocate, Alice Zaslavsky is the freshest—and friendliest—voice in food. Vegetables are at the heart of everything she preaches. She is the creator of innovative digital toolkit Phenomenom for teachers and schools plus an accompanying podcast for families, Nomcast, which is helping change the way food is taught in schools and homes around the world.
The Joy of Better Cooking
If you already enjoy the eating part, you have everything it takes to find joy in cooking too. There’s no pressure to be a great cook, but everyone can aspire to be a better cook, and therein lies the fun.
Let Alice Zaslavsky, bestselling author of In Praise of Veg, lead you on a journey to confident, intuitive cooking. This vibrant kitchen manual contains stacks of veg-forward recipes that you’ll want to cook on a weekly basis, but the real gold lies in the handy kitchen skills and know-how that will help build the foundations for a lifetime of better cooking. Start with Slapdash (really outstanding stuff simply thrown together) then move to On Autopilot (great go-tos for weeknights on the fly) and Making the Most of It (gluts and leftover makeovers). Soon you’ll be ready to Loosen Your Shoulders (weekend pottering and entertaining), just in time for some Seriously Good Sweeties (like, *seriously* good).
Whether you’re already a dab hand, you’re a battler who finds cooking a bit meh, or you’re starting from ‘which way do I hold the knife?’, The Joy of Better Cooking has all the inspiration, hand-holding and cheerleading you need to relax into the rhythm and truly enjoy cooking for your family and friends.
Publisher Ali Watts
For over twenty-five years Ali has worked as a publisher and editor with one of the world’s largest trade publishing houses. In that time she has produced a vast number of fiction and non-fiction titles across all genres with some of Australia’s most beloved and successful writers.

Ali has a BA in English Literature from Melbourne University and a Postgraduate Diploma in Editing and Publishing from RMIT.
City of Marion Libraries’ Paula McFarlane
Paula McFarlane has been a lifelong bookworm and a passionate supporter of public libraries since she began work with them in 2009. She joined the City of Marion Libraries in 2013, later realising her dream role as social media marketer with their marketing and programming team. She loves nothing better than reaching people through fun, viral posts that highlight the gem the library is to the community. That and making TikToks of her dog.
