Julie Goodwin was one of us, an amateur cook who was catapulted to fame in the first season of hugely successful MasterChef. Success came swiftly with multiple book deals, weekly magazine columns, regular gigs on the Today show, breakfast radio; the opportunities were endless. On the surface things looked like they could not be better.
Behind closed doors, Julie struggled with depression, anxiety and addiction. This warm and frank conversation will journey through the headiest of highs and the lowest of lows and discuss what life looks like for Julie today.
With Michelle Symes, City of Greater Bendigo Gastronomy Officer and curator of the Gastronomy stream for 2024 Bendigo Writers Festival.
This event is presented in both English and Auslan for Deaf and CODA audiences.
