the 1950s with the influence of inspiring writers like Mapie de Toulouse Lautrec in Elle, to Elizabeth David’s adventures as she wrote about her food discoveries and travels through France, Italy and Spain – all so transforming to England’s attitudes to cooking. Then coming to Australia in 1965 opened so many doors. The timing was perfect, offering me many publishing opportunities to express new ideas. Through magazines and books, I was able to reach a wide readership, offering me the privilege to be able to contribute to Australian culture in so many ways. I felt deeply honoured when, on the Queen’s birthday, in June 2014, I was awarded the Order of the Medal of Australia (OAM) for Service to Interior Design, Australian Cuisine and writing (books and articles).
It has been an adventure which has led to personal and professional friendships with various ground-breaking food writers and visionaries, committed ‘foodies’, organic farmers and cheesemakers, creative photographers, designers, artists, architects and inspiring home makers. Of these, none has been more sustaining that my lasting friendship with my dear friend, Margaret Fulton, who has made such an immense impact on Australians and influenced generations of families.
But finally, my personal journey has been about much more than the cooking. It has been about the preparation and being together, and creating together an embracing experience as an ordinary part of our everyday lives.
