If you’ve dined at the hatted Smith & Daughters in Collingwood, or been to Smith & Deli, where everything is plant based, watched Masterchef or My Kitchen Rules, you’ll no doubt be aware of Shannon Martinez.

Smith & Daughters is the first plant-based restaurant in Melbourne to earn a hat from the Age Good Food Awards and in 2023 and Shannon won the Restaurant Personality of the Year award from Gourmet Traveller.

Shannon has just released another book – Vegan Italian Food and talks with Warren about it.
