Dame Alison Holst holds more titles than her damehood suggests, she's been variously described as 'Mother of the Nation', 'Queen of the Kitchen', and 'a groundbreaker in the culinary world.'
In the sixties, Dame Alison single-handedly changed the way New Zealand women prepared food for their familes with her legendary television programme, 'Here's How'. She went on to become prodigious fundraiser for Plunket and other charities, as well as the chocolate-coated voice of radio and author of 99 bestselling cookbooks. She helped develop a successful business brand and became our favourite promoter of New Zealand products overseas.
Dame Alison Holst's fascinating memoir reveals the characteristic charm and calm spirit that is so familiar to us all. Her story takes us from a modest upbringing in Dunedin, to her role as one of our most endearing Kiwi icons.
