New softcover cookbook, 262 pages, published 2009. Superb colour photos throughout and excellent 'how-to' sections as well as plenty of both basic and signature recipes.
Cook like the world’s watching!
More than four million Australian television viewers tuned in on July 19th 2009 to watch Julie Goodwin, a Central Coast mum, win the coveted title of Australia’s first MasterChef. But for six nights a week, over three months, the Top Twenty MasterChef contestants had been battling to outcook each other under extreme kitchen conditions, often with unfamiliar ingredients, and in record time. You watched them sweating, stirring, whisking, frying, crying, hugging and laughing their way through the competition. You saw them either leapfrogging through to the final week, or leaving the competition, as their numbers were whittled down from twenty to two, Julie and Poh Ling Yeow.
In this much-anticipated book, the Top Twenty contestants share recipes they created on the show. There are mystery box and invention test winners galore - including Chris’s controversial roast pig head and his creamy ‘beeramisu’ - alongside standout audition dishes such as Lucas’s Singapore chilli mud crab. They share behind-the-scenes stories, with culinary tips and tricks from Mastechef judges Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris and Matt Preston and the contestants. They also explain what they did right and what they did wrong - and discuss what they would have done differently, if they’d had a second chance. You’ll also find recipes here for Adriano Zumbo’s demonically difficult pressure-test desserts - the croquembouche, the pannacotta, and the now-infamous chocolate mousse cake.
This cookbook contains sections on pantry basics, kitchen equipment, knife skills, and plating up like a professional, as well as classic recipes every wannabe chef should have in their repertoire.

OUR FAMILY TABLE
by Australia's first MasterChef
JULIE GOODWIN
New hardcover cookbook published April 2010, 244 pages, including a final blank chapter for you to write your own favourite recipes, plus a compartment at the back of the book to store recipes written on pieces of paper and cut from magazines or newspapers. Gorgeous colour photos throughout, and lovely comments and stories from Julie and the family and friends who shared their recipes.
The most highly anticipated cookbook of 2010, with a foreword by Australian National Treasure and culinary icon, Margaret Fulton.
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 Our Family Table, 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, and mine too: a beautifully designed 'blank' chapter with pages for the reader’s own photos, clippings and hand-me-down handwritten recipes from family and friends.
Masterchef Australia The Cookbook Volume 1 and Our Family Table are both Australian publications. All measurements are in metric and metric cup & spoon.
