Belinda Jeffery
Belinda's career for many years was ‘on the stoves’ in restaurants, culminating in her own acclaimed Good Health Cafe in Sydney. She went on to become an award-winning TV food presenter, author, freelance writer, restaurant reviewer and cooking teacher. Renowned for her warm and reassuring style, she has garnered a strong following throughout her career, for her never-fail recipes and the pleasure she receives from sharing her knowledge and love of good food with others.
She is a regular feature contributor to Delicious Magazine, and writes restaurant reviews for The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide.
In 2002 Belinda and her husband traded city life for the semi-tropical Far North Coast of New South Wales, where she now focuses on writing and teaching. The story of her move from Sydney to Mullumbimby has been published in the Penguin anthology, Scorched, and her life there is the topic of her most current cookbook and journal, The Country Cookbook. She is currently working on two more cook books.
Books
She has written four cookbooks, Belinda Jeffery’s 100 Favourite Recipes; Belinda Jeffery’s Tried-and-True Recipes (winner of the 2003 James Beard Award for Photography in New York); Mix & Bake (winner of the 2007 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards – Best Desserts book, English-Rest of the World; Highly Commended 2008 Australian Food Media Awards) and her newly published journal of country life, The Country Cookbook (November 2010). She has also released a series of cooking DVDs and CDs; is a familiar voice on ABC Radio, and an experienced Judge for a number of industry awards.
