Career

Television

For the first season of MasterChef Australia, Goodwin was selected from over 7,000 applicants who applied for the show. [2]

After winning MasterChef, Goodwin appeared in a weekly cooking segment on the Today program in 2010. [3] She was also involved in a segment on The 7pm Project where families were able to enter a contest to have Goodwin cook at their house live on television. [4] Later that year Goodwin hosted Home Cooked! With Julie Goodwin, an afternoon cooking series that screened on the Nine Network. It featured tips and tricks for creating meals at home, [5] and featured celebrity guests such as actor Gyton Grantley, cricketer Steve Waugh, radio and television host Amanda Keller and singer Ricki-Lee Coulter.

In 2012, Goodwin returned to MasterChef Australia, competing on MasterChef Australia All-Stars . The series, which saw contestants from the first three seasons returning to raise money for charity, saw Goodwin raise $35,000 for the Lort Smith Animal Hospital.

In 2015, Goodwin appeared in the first season of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! .

Goodwin returned to contest series 14 of MasterChef Australia in 2022, finishing 5th. The season featured a mix of returning contestants and new contenders. [6]

Books

As the winner of MasterChef Australia, Goodwin was given the opportunity to write her own cookbook. The book, Our Family Table ( ISBN   9781741669688), was published in April 2010. It features some recipes which were passed down through Goodwin's family, while others were given by friends. Goodwin also included recipes she created on MasterChef Australia, such as lemon diva cupcakes and passionfruit 'puddle pie'. The final section of the book is a 'blank' chapter with pages for the reader's own photos, clippings and recipes from family and friends. [7]

Goodwin has since released further cookbooks including Heart of the Home ( ISBN   1742750095) in 2012, and Gather ( ISBN   1742750109) in 2013.

In 2010, Goodwin released an album of traditional Christmas songs through Universal Music. [8] The CD also contained a booklet with recipes for a complete Christmas dinner; 50% of the profits went to the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. [9]

In 2014, Goodwin opened a cooking school, Julie’s Place. [10]

Between 2015 and December 2019 Goodwin hosted a breakfast radio show, Rabbit and Julie Goodwin, on Star 104.5 on the Central Coast. [10]

Personal life

Goodwin lives with her husband Michael and their three children on the Central Coast of New South Wales. [11]

In April 2018 Goodwin was charged with mid-range drink driving after executing a U-turn to avoid testing. She returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.107; over twice the legal limit, resulting in a license suspension of six months. Goodwin subsequently pleaded guilty and received a $600 fine. [12]
