ALICE ZASLAVSKY is a cook, writer, vegelante and the friendliest voice in food. She believes that food doesn’t just open mouths, it opens minds too. By helping people find a love of and a confidence with vegetables, she shows that anything is possible in the kitchen—and in life. Born in Tbilisi, Georgia, at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and the Middle East, Alice grew up in Melbourne, Australia, a city known for its bustling blend of cultures and cuisines. Her cooking is reflective of these many influences, a melting pot of ideas and a riotous vibrancy of flavors that vibrates with joy and vitality.

In Praise of Veg is Alice’s second book and has been a smash
hit internationally, published in 11 countries and translated into
multiple languages. In Australia, it was shortlisted for the Indie
Book Awards, the ABDAs and the ABA's Booksellers’ Choice
for Adult Nonfiction Book of the Year, and won the coveted title

of Germany, and nominated for cookbook of the year in the
Netherlands by Food & Friends. In the UK, it was shortlisted for
the British Book Design and Production Awards, and was highly
commended at the Guild of Food Writers Awards.

Alice’s first book, Alice’s Food A-Z, was selected as a Notable
Book at the Children’s Book Council of Australia Awards.
