More about Justine Schofield:

Justine Schofield inherited a passion for French cuisine from her mother and a ‘roll up your sleeves and get stuck in attitude’ from her Aussie father. After completing a diploma in hotel management and deciding it wasn’t for her, Justine set out to explore her two passions: travel and food.

When the opportunity to enter the first MasterChef series presented itself in 2009, Justine’s skill level and ability to stay calm under pressure carried her through the gruelling audition process. Once the competition began, her cheeky ‘give it a go’ personality combined with her extensive food knowledge and resourcefulness blew the judges away.

After MasterChef wrapped, Justine began turning her passion for food into a full-time career. The first series of Everyday Gourmet aired on Channel Ten in 2011 and has had a new series go to air each year since, Justine’s knack for simplifying classic dishes for the time-poor home cook made it very popular with daytime viewers

Justine is the author of two cookbooks, the first was Dinner with Justine, published with Pan Macmillan Australia. This beautiful book celebrates the food Justine loves to cook and eat at home with family and friends, simple, wholesome and delicious meals that can be made with readily available ingredients.

In addition to being a much-requested personality on the speaking circuit Justine indulges her travel bug whenever possible. She shares these experiences and the recipes she picks up along the way on her blog and Facebook page. Intelligent and sassy, Justine brings a youthful energy and touch of French flair to everything she does.
