Timeline
Dame Alison Margaret Holst (née Payne, born 1938) is a best-selling New Zealand food writer and television celebrity chef.
Alison was born in Dunedin, and graduated from the University of Otago, then a constituent college of the University of New Zealand, with a Bachelor of Home Science and subsequently spent a year at Teachers' College.
She then began lecturing in the Foods Department at the School of Home Science before starting her television career.
Her first television programme premiered in 1965.
The following year she published her first cookbook.
Her cook book Meals with the Family from 1967 is held in the collections at New Zealand’s national museum Te Papa Tongarewa.
In the 1983 Queen's Birthday Honours, Holst was awarded the Queen's Service Medal for public services.
In the 1987 New Year Honours, she was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, for services to home science.
Since 1990 she has co-written several cookbooks with her son, Simon Holst.
Since 1994 she has marketed a brand of bulk wholefoods under the name Alison's Pantry through the Foodstuffs supermarket company.
In 1997, the University of Otago conferred Holst with an honorary Doctor of Science degree.
Since then (as of 2010) her cookbooks have collectively sold more than four and a half million copies of 100 titles, and she has appeared on numerous other television and radio shows as well as writing newspaper columns and magazine articles.
In November 2010 Holst appeared on Radio New Zealand's afternoon programme to deny rumours that she had been asked to be the next governor-general.
Holst has described the style of food in most of her books as 'everyday food' and the recipes are generally written for home cooks and intended to be easy and reasonably cheap to make, as well as nutritious.
In the 2011 New Year Honours, Holst was appointed a Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to the food industry.
