-WINNER- ALLA WOLF-TASKER “What a delight it is to choose Alla Wolf-Tasker AM as this year’s recipient of the Maggie Beer Award for Outstanding Contribution to Australian Food. Alla was a pioneer long before she became the icon she is widely celebrated to be. I have to say that of all the accolades heaped on Alla, it is what she has done in bringing the farmers, the artisanal producers of her region around her from day one – which is strengthened every year by her dogged belief in being able to grow a sustainable food culture – that is the envy of many in Australia.”
