---
Eating together is good for us but it’s not always easy to manage. Australia’s first MasterChef shares her smart strategies, time-saving hacks and delicious, low-effort recipes to put the joy back into family dinners.

‘Who’s home for dinner?’

As the family landscape changes and we’re all moving in different directions, dinnertime has become a logistical challenge.

In this book by Australia’s most trusted home cook, you’ll find ways to:

- Share the physical and mental load of daily dinners
- Streamline all the processes involved in creating the evening meal including shopping, prepping and cleaning
- Take the pain out of the daily decision of what to make
- Turn your house into the ready-meal section of the supermarket but with cheaper and better-tasting food.

Think Spanish Chicken Tray Bake on a busy Monday, Burning Noodles with Prawns in half an hour, build-your-own burger night, or a Veggie Bolognese ready to go when plans change.

Whether you’re cooking for one, feeding a crowd or managing something in between, Home for Dinner will help you simplify the process and make space for what matters most: coming together at the end of the day.

About Julie: 
Since becoming Australia’s first MasterChef, Central Coast mum-of-three Julie Goodwin has become a household name. Formerly an IT professional, she wrote a monthly column for the Australian Women's Weekly for ten years, and is a bestselling cookbook author. In 2015 Julie appeared on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ and in 2016 Julie she joined the Central Coast's Breakfast Weekday Show with Rabbit, 4 years’ worth of laughs and positivity. In 2022 ‘Jules the OG’ burst back onto our screens in ‘MasterChef Fans and Favourites’ with that same quick-witted sense of humour and trademark honesty. She wowed the Judges (again) with her classic but perfectly executed dishes, securing herself a spot in the top 5, and Australia fell in love with her all over again. This time it wasn’t just her cooking that had Australia talking, but also her openness and willingness to share her struggles with mental health.
