Susan Gough Henley for AFR pays tribute to Alla Wolf-Tasker and how she has pioneered the farm-to-table revolution.

In the heart of the countryside, Daylesford emerges as a beacon in the world of gastronomy, owing much of its culinary acclaim to the visionary efforts of Alla Wolf-Tasker AM, the esteemed co-owner and Culinary Director of Lake House. With unwavering dedication spanning over forty years, Alla has meticulously crafted Lake House into a pilgrimage site for epicurean enthusiasts, elevating Daylesford and its environs to a coveted destination for food and wine connoisseurs alike.

Through her discerning palate and relentless pursuit of excellence, Alla has orchestrated a symphony of flavours, sourcing only the finest ingredients from a network of local artisans and purveyors.
