On a clear Friday Autumn afternoon, the folks of Ryde were treated to a very special visitor to their library.
Julie Goodwin, Australia's first Master Chef, visited Ryde Library to promote her latest cookbook, 'Gather'.

Julie spoke candidly about her family life, her experiences on Master Chef and inspirations behind her bestselling cookbooks.

Afterwards, Julie met her fans and signed copies of her book. One lucky entrant won a copy of Julie's Gather.
