Alice Zaslavsky writes the cookery column for The Weekend Australian Magazine and is the ABIA award winning author of the internationally acclaimed In Praise of Veg. She is the culinary correspondent for ABC News Breakfast and ABC Radio nationally, and hosts Saturday Breakfast on ABC Radio Melbourne.

Whenever Jamila Rizvi needs to book a restaurant, Alice Zaslavsky is the number she calls. The former Masterchef contestant and fan favourite, knows more about food and foodie culture than just about anyone.

Importantly, she makes food accessible. Alice isn’t about spending the most money, or being a culinary genius, or using only particularly sourced ingredients. She is committed to making it possible for everyone to eat well.

In this conversation, Jamila and Alice go deep on the relationship between kids, food and the dinner time battle we all need to leave behind. Plus, Alice shares the human impact of war and her experience of migrating to Australia.
