Bill Granger

Bill Granger is an Australian chef and food writer who started his early career training as an artist in Sydney but his passion slowly moved to food and he became a self taught chef. By 1993, Bill decided to open his first restaurant, Bill's, in Sydney, that serves legendary breakfast. By 1996, he had opened two restaurants in the city which were both huge immediate successes, creating a name for himself as one to watch in Australia's food industry. Since then Bill is now the brains behind worldwide restaurant chain Granger & Co. with restaurants all over London, Australia, Tokoyo, Seoul and Hawaii and has written 11 best-selling cookbooks and recorded five cookery series, where he explores the produce, cuisines and locations across the world.  Some of his TV shows include Bill's Kitchen: Nottingham, Bill's Sydney, Bill's basics among 30 other appearances. Bill's sunny, relaxed approach to food is one of the reasons for his popularity across the world and also his love for making recipes that are hearty as well as  super quick and easy to follow.

His inspiration for creating family meals that everyone loves comes from his love for creating food for his wife Natalie Bill and his three daughters called Edie, Ines and Bunny.  Also, he believes his Australian way of life and how he incorporates this into his recipes has been successful. When making any of his dishes, he wants people to appreciate the pleasure of every day and celebrate having access to a lifestyle where he can eat fresh, seasonal and simple every day meals that can either entertain friends at home or be appreciated by the whole family. Since 2011, he has also been The Independent's trusted Sunday weekly food columnist and loves to share all his favourite recipes like homemade pork meatballs (opens in new tab), lemon chicken (opens in new tab) to healthy yogurt muffins (opens in new tab).
