With special thanks to Penguin Australia, the speaker at our August Motors’ breakfast, co-sponsored by our friends at Papillon Health & Beauty Centre,  is one of the most recognised and loved “celebrity chefs” in Australia, the hugely popular writer Kylie Kwong.

Kylie is a nationally-recognised food icon as the proprietor of the celebrated Billy Kwong restaurant in Sydney, and is a passionate advocate of sustainable food and ethical eating. She is a chef who thinks globally and acts locally. Her restaurant’s menu uses only local, organic and biodynamic produce, and in 2007 it became the first carbon-neutral restaurant in New South Wales, as well as winning the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide’s inaugural sustainability award in 2009.

Kylie Kwong is launching her fifth book, It Tastes Better, an eye-opening tribute to the dedicated people - growers, farmers, fishers and food providores behind sustainable food. She firmly believes that the wonderful food and wine that these people produce tastes better, and the book contains simple, vibrant recipes for a whole range of styles and tastes.

 
Kylie is the author of four other books, Recipes and Stories, Heart and Soul, Simple Chinese Cooking, and My China, and is the presenter of three television series.

Please book early for this special breakfast, as it will definitely be sold out! Download your registration form here: Kylie_Kwong_.pdf
