About
An award-winning author, broadcaster and ‘Vegelante’
Alice Zaslavsky is full of beans; literally. Known for her irrepressible energy, empathy, enthusiasm, and penchant for veg, Alice combines a teacher’s heart with a voracious appetite – for food, and for culture. An award-winning author, broadcaster and ‘Vegelante’, she’s the host of ABC Radio Melbourne’s Saturday Breakfast, and resident foodie on ABC TV’s News Breakfast program.
Alice’s acclaimed book In Praise of Veg has been published in 11 countries, winning the 2021 ABIA for Best Illustrated Non-Fiction, along with medals and accolades in Germany, The Netherlands and the UK. Now, she’s excited to plate up her next hit, The Joy of Better Cooking, to give every would-be cook a sense of confidence and freedom in the kitchen – no matter their age or ability.

It’s super concentrated, so it packs maximum punch. And it can do anything. It’s the most important thing to happen to food since salt in desserts.
“I might just be lying in the plane eating it. I begin to worry I’m not taking back enough.”
