It’s been a couple of years since we caught up with Sydney chef and author Danielle Alvarez. A lot has happened. She experienced burnout, left her job at Fred’s and regrouped with a lot of home cooking. She now has a role as Culinary Director at the Sydney Opera House. Her new book, Recipes for a Lifetime of Beautiful Cooking, is a great companion for the home kitchen. In it, Danielle ponders the differences between home and restaurant cooking: are there things that home cooks do better than chefs?
