Danielle Alvarez cooks with both heart and mind. Her food is created to nourish, with an eye to respecting and valuing our producers.

In 2016, she was appointed Head Chef of Fred's in Paddington. In 2020, Danielle published her first successful cookbook and in 2022 decided to pause on restaurant life and focus on writing her second book.

Following the release of EP The Life Of Montaigne and then debut album Glorious Heights (2016), Montaigne’s evolution as an artist was a journey fans became part of, as they were able to witness her growth as a musician and performer on stages nationally. 2019 saw the arrival of her sophomore album, a collection of observations and stories beautifully delivered against a backdrop of sprawling and theatrical sounds, fittingly titled Complex. 2020 brought another pivotal moment for Montaigne, as she was selected to represent Australia at Eurovision in Rotterdam 2020, before returning in 2021. In 2022, she released eclectic third album making it!, an alt-pop journey through sugary, metallic production featuring two collaborations with David Byrne.
