The most highly anticipated cookbook of 2010 - by Julie Goodwin, Australia's first MasterChef.
Since taking out the coveted title of Australia's first MasterChef, Julie Goodwin has been cooking, testing and writing away like mad, preparing to publish her first cookbook. Julie says- 'In this book I'm not just presenting recipes but exploring the role of food in families and communities. I want to get people back into their kitchens and promote the joy of food and family. Our Family Table is full of lovely stories and recipes and feasts, with a strong focus on good old-fashioned tucker. ' Some recipes are heirlooms passed down in Julie's family through generations, while others were given to her by friends and neighbours. There are lazy weekend breakfasts to enjoy with the family, weekday and special occasion dinners, barbecue and camp cooking, and cakes, biscuits and puddings galore. Julie also includes recipes she created on MasterChef - such as her now famous lemon diva cupcakes and her passionfruit 'puddle' pie. The final section of the book is Julie's favourite- a beautifully designed 'blank' chapter with pages for the reader's own photos, clippings and hand-me-down handwritten recipes from family and friends. With a foreword by Australian culinary icon, Margaret Fulton.
Since becoming Australia's first MasterChef, Central Coast mum-of-three Julie Goodwin has become a household name. Formerly an IT professional running a successful family business, she now writes a monthly column for the Australian Women's Weekly , is a bestselling cookbook author and appears weekly on The Today Show on Channel Nine.
Her first cookbook, Our Family Table , is one of the highest selling cookbooks in Australian history. Her second cookbook, Heart of the Home was published in 2011. Her third book, Gather, will be released in March 2013.
