ABOUT MAGGIE BEER

Maggie, originally from Sydney, worked and travelled overseas in an amazing variety of jobs. Before becoming immersed in the world of food, she was employed in fields as diverse as light aircraft, Citizen Law Clerk for the American Embassy and House Management at the Women's College of Sydney University.

Her marriage to Colin in 1970 led them to the Barossa Valley in 1973, where they began pheasant breeding and grape growing. The establishment of the Pheasant Farm was the start of a career that now spans farming, food production, exporting, food writing and television presenting.

There have been lots of awards over the years from those first heady days when in 1991 the Pheasant Farm Restaurant won the Remy Martin Cognac/Australian Gourmet Traveller Restaurant of the Year. More business related accolades included the Telstra Business Woman of the Year in 1997 and the Jaguar/Australian Gourmet Traveller Award of Excellence in 1999 and then in 2001 Maggie was overwhelmed to be presented with the Food Media Club's Industry Peer Award.

Maggie has written 7 books in total with her most recent addition being "Maggie's Kitchen", which is a collection of her favourite recipes as well as the everyday basics Maggie believes form the foundations of a good food life.

It was a natural extension, with her passion for food and food writing, that Maggie should find herself in front of the camera in her own television series. Currently screening on the ABC, The Cook and The Chef shows Maggie introducing Chef Simon Bryant to her home region and the people who supply her with the produce she has used to create her culinary reputation.

As part of the 2010 Australia Day Awards, Maggie was honoured with winning Senior Australian of the Year, in recognition of her focus on cooking with seasonal produce, that has in turn, helped to educate so many Australians to make informed food choices.
