Alison Holst holds more titles than her recent dame-hood suggests. She’s been described as ‘Mother of the Nation’, ‘Queen of the Kitchen’, ‘a groundbreaker in the culinary world’ and ‘best-selling author’.
In the sixties, Dame Alison singlehandedly changed the way women prepared food for their families with her legendary television programme ‘Here’s How’.
She went on to become a prodigious fund-raiser for Plunket, a chocolate-coated voice on radio, author of a hundred cookbooks, a successful business brand, as well as a favoured promoter of New Zealand products overseas.
In her new memoir, A Home-grown Cook: The Dame Alison Holst Story, Alison’s life story unfolds with the characteristic calm, spirit and charm that is so familiar to us all. From a modest upbringing in Dunedin to becoming one of our most endearing Kiwi icons, A Home-grown Cook brilliantly distils Alison’s essence on every page.
