Alex Elliott-Howery is the co-founder of Cornersmith. When the Marrickville cafe opened in 2012, it quickly gained a reputation for its handmade local preserves and the barter system that encouraged punters to trade their garden produce for jam, pickles or chutney. The cafe since moved to nearby Annandale where they operate a picklery and run workshops and cooking classes. Elliott-Howery is a leading voice in the war against food waste and has even demonstrated food hacks as the warm-up act for bands. She has co-authored three books including Use it All: The Cornersmith Guide to a More Sustainable Kitchen (2020), a blueprint to help busy people embrace seasonal and sustainable eating.
