Ep 2. Alice Zaslavsky: We Are All Craving Connection
"We are all craving connection. We are all hungry for it. And I think that we’ve been desensitised to the value of it."
In Conversation with Alice Zaslavsky – Author, Cook, TV and Radio Personality
In this episode of For the Love of Play, we speak with author, chef, teacher, TV and radio personality, Alice Zaslavsky.
Our conversation explores the innate human need for connection, cooking as a form of play and food as a celebration of culture. We talk about Alice’s childhood and how her Georgian heritage, as well as her childhood spent in the Soviet Union, has shaped her - and her zest for life!
About Our Guest
When you think of cooking, colour and contagious enthusiasm - Alice Zaslavsky is one of the first people who springs to mind! Her vibrant cookbooks light up the shelves of bookshops across the country, and she is a warm, familiar presence on ABC radio and television.
