One of Melbourne’s most-loved foodies, Julia Busuttil Nishimura is a self-taught cook, recipe writer, and now, a best-selling author. Here, she shares how she's turned her passion for food into a super-successful career and her favourite spots for food shopping in Melbourne.
With a background in primary school teaching, Julia Busuttil Nishimura’s passion for food led her to start her food blog, Ostro, in 2013, with a focus on sharing beautiful, yet uncomplicated food, with simple ingredients. Julia caught the attention of a few publishers – and in 2017, her first book, entitled Ostro was released. It’s received accolades both here and abroad, with Jamie Oliver calling it ‘A Truly brilliant first book!’.
I caught up with her recently to talk all about her rise to foodie fame as well as book two, which is currently in-the-works – she had so much wisdom to share!!
