Chelsea Winter is the author of three bestselling cookbooks, Homemade Happiness, Everyday Delicious and At My Table, and an all-round lover of good food. She is passionate about creating straight-forward, home-style recipes that are simple to prepare, yet look great and taste fantastic.

To Chelsea, food is a way of bringing people and families together and time shared and enjoyed around the dinner table with loved ones is simply invaluable.

Chelsea was the winner of MasterChef New Zealand's third season and is always looking for new and inventive ways to inspire Kiwi home cooks.

Chelsea grew up as a farm girl in both Hamilton and Kumeu, yet is also the ultimate beach baby, having spent her childhood summers between Great Barrier Island, Raglan and Mount Maunganui. Her favourite piece of advice? Don't be afraid of a little pure New Zealand butter : it makes the world a better place.
