Annie Smithers is one of Australia' most highly regarded chefs and one of the first chefs to truly epitomise the paddock to plate ethos with her restaurant du Fermier. We're very excited to announce that Annie will return to Sunbury Library to discuss her upcoming book, Kitchen Sentimental. In her new memoir, respected chef and paddock-to-plate pioneer Annie Smithers answers the question she is asked most often: why cook? Annie takes us on a journey through every significant kitchen in her life, both domestic and professional, sharing with engaging honesty her personal development, her surprisingly complex relationship with food, and the lessons she has learned along the way to find her culinary niche at the famed du Fermier restaurant in country Victoria.
