About Jude Blereau
Jude Blereau is a natural foods chef, author, food coach, cooking teacher and real food activist who has been involved with the organic and wholefoods industry for more than 18 years. She first became involved in the natural food industry while living in the US in the late 1980s, where she was inspired by the work being done in health and nutrition. She returns there often.
In 1997, Jude co-founded The Earth Market, a much loved wholefood store and café in Perth, Western Australia. In 2001 founded the Whole Food Cooking. Her focus is on helping people learn about good food - what it truly is, where to get it, how to use it - and to give them the tools and information they need to make healthy eating a part of their everyday lives.
Jude is a passionate advocate for sustainable farming practices and good food for everybody. She is participates in a number of groups and networks that promote those goals. Jude is a member of Chefs Collaborative, a network of chefs and restaurateurs who work together to promote sustainable farming and fishing, humane animal husbandry and local artisanal cuisine. They encourage the community to make food choices that emphasise delicious, locally grown, seasonally fresh, and whole or minimally processed ingredients that are good for us, for local farming communities, and for the planet.
Jude is also active in the Organic Federation of Australia, and sits on the OFA (Organic Federation of Australia) Boar, and OFA Consumer Council.
Jude released her first cookbook Wholefood ... heal, nourish, delight in March 2006, and her second Coming Home To Eat ... Wholefood for the Family in March 2008. She writes for a number of magazines including Spice and Nova.
