Simon Holst

Simon & Alison Holst make a formidable team! Dame Alison, one of New Zealand’s original TV cooks, has been writing cookbooks for over 40 years and has over 100 titles to her name. Alison has been voted New Zealand’s most trusted person, no doubt in part a reflection of how her practical, down to earth approach and ‘tried and true’ recipes have taught generations of cooks how to feed their families with good, nutritious and delicious food.

For the last 20 years she has been joined by her son Simon, who also now appears regularly on national television, and together they have written over 30 best-selling cookbooks which have sold in excess of 2 million copies. Fantastic food, easy to follow recipes you can’t go wrong!
