Cherie Bevan and Tass Tauroa are the team behind the outrageously popular cafe, bakery and caterer The Cook and Baker, based in Sydney. Cherie (the Cook) grew up inspired by a mother and grandmother who were fabulous home bakers. For decades she has run landmark deli cafes, including Gusto and Crave, in Sydney's eastern suburbs. In 2012 she joined forces with fellow Kiwi Tass to create The Cook and Baker.
