Julie Goodwin burst into our screens and into the hearts of Australians back in 2009, when she became Australia’s very first MasterChef. Following the win, Julie was catapulted into stardom - seemingly overnight. A book deal, TV segments, a radio program, and her own cooking school - she should’ve been on top of the world. And she was - until it all came crashing down. Julie has shared her full story for the first time in her brand new memoir Your Time Starts Now.
