Boffins is pleased to host accomplished chef and food writer Sophie Zalokar for an in-store signing at Boffins to celebrate the release of her new book Food of the Southern Forests.
Don't miss this opportunity to meet the author and have your book signed and dedicated. This book is a must for anyone interested in eating fresh, local and sustainable produce, as well as an inspiration for the creative, forward-thinking cook. You can view a sneak peak of the book here.
Sophie was born and raised in the Barossa Valley in South Australia and trained with renowned cook, television food presenter and manufacturer Maggie Beer at her and her husband Colin Beer’s famed restaurant, The Pheasant Farm. At the beginning of 2005, Sophie and her family moved from Fremantle to a 19- acre smallholding with holiday cottages in Pemberton within the Southern Forests region of Western Australia. With the assistance of a federal tourism grant, Sophie and her husband Chris opened Foragers Field Kitchen & Cooking School in April 2011, offering residential cooking school and dinner events throughout the year, promoting the culinary heritage and produce of the Southern Forests region.
Whilst juggling the demands of farm animals, vegetable garden & fruit orchard, teenage children, accommodation & dinner guests, deadlines [greatly aided by her favourite relieving glass of local Marsanne Rousanne…], Sophie’s work as a chef, food writer & teacher and produce judge is underpinned by her commitment to nurturing honest, flavoursome food created with a deep respect for the land, primary producers and local food heritage & culinary traditions.
