Stephanie Alexander AO is a national treasure, as is her famous book 'The Cook's Companion' (Penguin Books), which she has lovingly revised, renewed and released for its 30th anniversary. 

Keeping things simple and anxiety-free is Stephanie's goal and she takes us through her love of cooking - which started at a very young age - and shares her thoughts on everything from TV cooking shows to air fryers. 

Stephanie is passing on her passion for cooking through her other passion: The Kitchen Garden Foundation, which she founded to introduce kids to the garden and the kitchen. 

The Food Poll this week features Spanakopita. For those who don't know, Spanakopita is a traditional Greek savoury pastry consisting of a spinach and feta cheese filling encased in flaky, buttery filo. So, are you a yay or nay?
