Let's talk!

Today we unpack two incredible books from two incredible women.

Expert food wrangler and one of Australia’s favourite broadcasters, Alice Zaslavsky, shares her new book that is so much more than just cookbook, The Joy of Better Cooking! There’s no pressure to be a great cook, but everyone can aspire to be a better cook, and therein lies the fun. Alice breaks down her guide to re-writing your food story and finding acceptance and joy in the kitchen at any age or skill level.

And co-host Mimi Kwa recounts an extraordinary life in her autobiographical book, House of Kwa. Riveting, colourful and often darkly humorous, House of Kwa is an epic family drama spanning four generations, and an unforgettable story about how one woman finds the courage to stand up for her freedom and independence, squaring off against the ghosts of the past and finally putting them to rest.
