Food & Cooking Legend Stephanie Alexander (Kids Pod Rewind)

*This is a Kids Pod Rewind episode where we listen to a past interview from the Kids Pod archives.* Welcome to Kids Pod, a podcast where kids get to ask adults the questions they really want to know. Nothing is too rude to ask. You send in the questions and our adults will give kids the answers they want to hear. We are so excited to have Stephanie Alexander as our special guest today on Kids Pod. You might know her name because she is the creator of the Kitchen Garden programme that runs in lots of Australian schools. But did you know she is also a legend of the Australian food and restaurant industry? Her most famous cook book, The Cook's Companion, has sold half a million copies and is now also an app. We are honoured and very lucky to have this Officer of the Order of Australia join us on Kids Pod. *Did you know that the creator of Kids Pod, Aimee Chan, is also a children's author? Her latest book, The Happy Mask, is all about what it's like to be a kid living in a world surrounded by masks. It's a really gentle book that's great to read with your parents, friends and teachers. You can find out all about The Happy Mask and other books by Aimee Chan at aimeechan.com or you can order all her books from your local bookstore.* To send us your questions for future episodes, contact us at aimeechan.com.
