Stephanie Alexander's Cook's Companion: 30th Anniversary Edition

0:00Stephanie Alexander dropped her fifth book, The Cooks Companion, back in March 1996, and it blew up as Australia's kitchen Bible. That thing sold over 550,000 copies and became a must-have for home cooks everywhere. The original rocked, an orange spine, and covered ingredients and recipes tailored for Aussie kitchens. Then in 2004, the second edition came with a stripy cover, 300 new recipes, and 12 extra chapters to keep it fresh. Now marking 30 years, Alexander's revised it top to bottom for 2026, adding nearly 100 recipes plus essays on today's cooking. Bives like sustainability, shopping shifts, and dining trends. Home Cooks were by it. Pages stuck from fruit slices, lemon tarts, and poached quincees show the real love, with copies battered, stained, and taped up. From years of action, they're calling on fans to email photos of your worn-out editions, favorite recipes, and stories to editorial. At goodfood.com.au with subject.
