\u201cJoy<\/em> is skills based, organised easy to harder, and in every recipe you learn skills, find out which gadgets are essential in the kitchen, and which techniques and ingredients are worth knowing about,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cAs you cook, you learn. My style of cooking is very veg-forward. I have made conversational notes, so if I was standing next to you in the kitchen, that\u2019s the information you\u2019d get from me.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not just a cookbook, but a bit of a motivational manifesto. I want to encourage people to let go of the limitations that they set on themselves and have a bit of a growth mindset It starts in the kitchen, but it can go into all aspects of your life.\u201d<\/p>\n Zaslavsky is most excited about being able to speak to an audience in the Regent Cinema.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve performed on…major stages at food festivals across the country, but when I found out the talk was going to take place at the Regent, I thought, what an occasion,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cI want people to feel like they\u2019re making a night of this conversation, and I\u2019ll try to make sure people leave not just feeling inspired, but also feeling like they\u2019ve learnt something, whether that\u2019s about food, some of the people I\u2019ve been able to meet and spend time with, or even me.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll be talking about food, life, and at the end of the day, I\u2019m still a teacher, so people might just come away feeling like they\u2019ve had a lesson in how to get the most out of life.\u201d<\/p>\n The ABC News Breakfast regular said she\u2019s looking forward to exploring more of Ballarat\u2019s hospitality spots, and returning to Lola at The Provincial Hotel.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s such a boom town again. It won\u2019t be my first visit, and it won\u2019t be my last. I love meeting Ballarat people, and when I get to return, it always feels like I\u2019ve struck gold,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2022\/11\/JOYB-Cover-232x300.jpg\")
