“I’m chaos” - Maggie Beer
Cook, food author, restaurateur, entrepreneur, public figure, and champion of Australia’s ageing population Maggie Beer AO epitomises life force.
After a miraculous recovery from a life-threatening fall, she continues to be a huge part of our great culinary Australian story.
In this episode, Savva joins Maggie at her home in the Barossa Valley while the scent of dampened fig and persimmon trees and the songs of magpies and currawongs travel through the door.
Their conversation travels through her 53 years in South Australia, her influence in Australian society, the early days of meeting her husband Colin and their successful businesses and marriage, her daughter Saskia’s legacy, and her enduring relationship with Stephanie Alexander, plus so much more.
Maggie's social cause is the maggiebeerfoundation.org.au that delivers education and training to improve the dining, food, and nutritional outcomes for older people in Aged Care. This education program offers support to Providers, Homes, Cooks and Chefs in a range of activities - you can find out more at the website listed above.
