Author Biography
Danielle Alvarez is a Cuban-American chef and cook who has built a home in Sydney, Australia, and a reputation as founding head chef at the acclaimed Merivale restaurant Fred's, in Paddington. The food of Fred's is home comfort executed with hospitality pro flair and key to the Alvarez magic is the seamless way she traverses these two worlds. Home cooks are drawn to her because her love language is glorious, fresh, seasonal ingredients, minimal intervention and maximum taste, and it is communicated with a compelling you-can-cook-like-me warmth.
Libby Travers is an author, food writer and food commentator who has worked alongside some of the best chefs, producers and wholesalers for more than two decades. Her interest in food particularly focuses on its place in a country's culture and customs - with a soft spot for all things French. Fortunate to have three wonderful locations jostling for the title "home", she continues the search for good food, wine and bonheur between Provence, Crete and Australia.
