An evening with Virginia Trioli and Annie Smithers
When two of our favourite people write books about their undeniable connection to, and love of food, we were always going to get them into a room together and chat about the joy, the wisdom, the kitchens and share the many stories and special recipes that have a place in their hearts
This will be a fun, fascinating and moving conversation and a wonderful opportunity to dive a little deeper into how food, family and friends play such an important role in all our lives.
​
Virginia and Annie will be in conversation with Kristin Gill
About the authors:
Virginia Trioli
Virginia Trioli is a journalist, broadcaster and author. She is a two-time Walkley Award-winner and lives in Melbourne with her husband and son.
Annie Smithers
​
Annie Smithers is one of Australia’s most highly regarded chefs and one of the first chefs to truly epitomise the paddock to plate ethos. With a career spanning well over 30 years, Annie has spent the last quarter of a century in the wonderful Macedon Ranges and Hepburn Spa region of Victoria.
Her restaurant du Fermier in the small village of Trentham, is a tiny establishment. Annie does all the cooking, starting with baking her own baguettes each morning and offers a menu du jour that features vegetables picked that day from her kitchen garden and meats and poultry from the surrounding area. She carefully sources all products to ensure their environmental and animal husbandry credentials.
Her first book, Recipes for a Kinder Life was a bestseller and Kitchen Sentimental is the perfect companion.
