About Julia Jenkins
"I'm obsessed with food, which is strange because I used to be food phobic!"
Until she was in her late teens, Julia Jenkins confesses that she was an extremely fussy eater and could never have imagined herself becoming a cook but now she is determined that her future lies within the food industry.
Things changed when she took a trip to Japan and because plain food wasn't readily available, she had to broaden her horizons. However, still by no means adventurous, the real change for Julia came when she took a cooking course at 19.
Not thinking she could pursue a career in food, Julia moved from Perth to Melbourne and settled there in an everyday office job. But after a year decided that she wanted to work in the food industry in some way. "When the advert for MasterChef Australia came around it was perfect and I applied straight away."
While Julia was thrilled to have made it as far in the competition as she did, she is still forming her end goal.
"I'm not 100% on my goal but if I won this I would go away and open my own place, I think. It would be somewhere small with lots of great wine and great small plates of food, all very seasonal. I want to show that food doesn't have to be fine dining to be great."
