Bill Granger

Celebrity Chef

Location: Sydney

Bill Granger has always been passionate about food and cooking. He takes pride in presenting delicious food that is simple, fresh and looks irresistible. This easygoing approach to food has always been Bill's philosophy and is an important element of his enduring popularity in Australia and overseas.

Bill's broad appeal also springs from an instinctive understanding of how most of us like to eat. He is a self-taught cook who gained his knowledge from eating, reading and experiencing food.

Born in Melbourne, Bill moved to Sydney when he was nineteen. As an art student with a passion for food, he worked as a waiter and his focus gradually shifted from art to food. His fascination for developing new ideas eventually led him to establish his own restaurants. bills opened in 1993 in the Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst, and the second bills opened in the nearby suburb of Surry Hills in 1996. They were both immediate successes and are established as favourite destinations with both locals and tourists alike. In July 2005, bills Woollahra opened and it already has its own loyal band of regulars.

Bill is one of Australia's leading food writers. His first two cookbooks, bills Sydney Food and bills food, became international best sellers, and when the third, bills open kitchen, was published in 2003, it went to the top of the non-fiction charts in Australia. Bill's books were launched by HarperCollins in the US in February 2005, and have been translated into Dutch, German and Italian. His fourth book, Simply Bill, was launched in Australia and New Zealand in August 2005, and in the UK and the Netherlands in October 2005. Bill has sold over 500,000 copies of his books worldwide and his fifth book, Bill Granger Every Day, will be launched in both Australia and the UK in late 2006.

Bill appears frequently in both Australian and international media. He is a weekly Sydney Morning Herald Good Living columnist and a regular contributor to Australia's delicious magazine. He has regular columns in UK delicious and Sainsbury's magazines as well as in magazines from the Netherlands to South Africa. He also appears on both Australian and international TV and radio.

In 2004 Bill launched his debut television series, bills food, on The LifeStyle Channel in Australia. The cameras follow Bill as he cooks his way through busy working days and casual weekends at home with family and friends. The series was acquired by the BBC in the UK, screening to audiences of two million, and by 22 other countries.

    Hi! I only recently discovered Bill Granger and his shows, and i loved it. I think he is very nice, and i love to see him and his lovely family, and has a mom i'm trying some of his receipies, wich i think are great. The only thing i would like to see on his show, and other chefs shows, is some inspiration on Portuguese food. Because whenever they do something in europe is always Italy, France, Spain and Greec, don't get me wrong, they have lovly food and costumes, but Portugal is also great and have food to die for. So here i leave the tip, come to portugal to discovery our gastronomic wonders and enjoy our lovely country.

    I have only discovered Bill in the last week and what a pleasant find. I have now series linked the programme in my FOXTEL planner (not big on TV quite frankly) nothing will beat the book! Simple recipes with basic ingredients, appreciation of family and surf and a comfortable layback style of presentation.Feeding numerous young adults nearly every weekend it's about time they learn to cook and "SIMPLY BILL" is going to do the trick. A great "leaving the nest" present. Do they ever leave ... my numbers are increasing. He has even inspired me to crank up the blender and starting cooking again! Move over hubby.

    Boohoo, I've just attempted the Lemon Tart from Bill Granger's 'Basics' (page 234) & I think it is heading for the bin. Really disappointed but it's like the butter has split out of the rest of the ingredients & it's floating in a sea of fat. Hmmm, yum! I've reread the recipe twice now, completely retracing my steps & I can't see my error. Has anyone else made this? Any advise before my next attempt?

    • Wip

    I love Bill's "Peach and Rasberry Slice" recipe that I just caught on tv. I used this recipe for a fundraiser at work and everyone loved it. My coworkers loved the idea of something that was not chocolate and actually cook. Now, I have been requested to make this for our luncheons throughout the year. It actually tasted great warmed with a dollop of icecream.

  • John Strong

    Bill In the first episode of your new show "Bill's Tasty Weekends" one of the spices you used was TURMERIC. It really annoys me to hear expert chefs, such as yourself, refer to it as TOOMERIC. There is an "R" in the word and as far as I am aware it should be pronounced TERMERIC.

    I watch Bill's shows in LA. They make me a homesick for Oz. I love the food and I enjoy the serenity of his shows. In the US many celebrity chefs are all screaming, buzz words, noise and masters of careless dump and stir food. Bill respect and love for the food he prepares and where the food comes from keeps me watching.

    -----> I have three easy simple rules for watching Bill's Food: 1) TiVo it. the show is charming and meditative. 2) close the shades. after the beautiful beach shots and cozy family moments you might find yourself reflecting out the window, and as any fan will tell you, you don't want to miss a moment. 3) whenever bill shoots the boyish grin (ie after every sentence) shoot one back at him. it will brighten your day. ----> LOVE THE SHOW AND BILL. fave tv chef at the moment.

Now, with Bills recipes, he is a convert to using healthy ingredients and simple good tasting foods...without the need of a bottled sauce. We are buying Bills Food for our Daughter in Law..she has loved the food we cooked from it..expecially the rare roast beef with tomatoes, potatoes and watercress from the first book ..and the chocolate mousse is to die for!. We have three Bills books andthey are our bibles.

    Trying to find Bill's Berry and Ricotta Cheese pancakes recipe online. Only found someone who had an adapted version of it. Anyone know if it's available in any of his cookbooks because that's the first 'celebrity' chef cookbook I would venture to buy. I found it in a recipe supplement attached to (Aust) OK! magazine. Also wanted to add that I tried this *incredible* recipe, which worked perfectly first time and tasted much better than I could ever have anticipated, because I was so tired of recipes not working. Just 'cos it's printed somewhere doesn't mean it's a good recip; especially if it's 'published' online. Not big on self-aggrandised 'celeb' cooks. Bill might be my one exception!

    I love Bill! We are looking for the raspberry cakey type thing he did a while ago and can't seem to find it. It's not the almond one we can see on here. Any ideas anyone? We are living in the UK now and have loads of raspberries in the garden and would really like to do something different with them.

    Bill - you're a live saver!! From someone who wasn't really that much into cooking before - I have now become a devotee, especially for your chicken burgers with lemongrass & lime. I have finally done it - I have managed to secure a compliment from my biggest critic of all..... my Mother-in-law!! Wonders will never cease. Thank you Bill.

    Bill is brilliant, and an Aussie!! I love his food, simple, yet full of taste, colour and life.... I have watched every episode of Bill's Holiday, started now watching Bill's Food and have voted for him evey night on Battle of the Chefs. We should be proud as Aussie's to have such a brilliant chef (and personality) representing us all over the world. xo

    Bill Granger would have to be without a doubt Australia's best chef. His food is so good, delicious, family style and fresh. He deserves a lot more credit. I was so happy to see Rachel Allen make a Bill Granger recipe on her show.

    I love your cooking shows, you have a great deal of knowledge and skill as well as the ability to help a home cook like me turn out a delicious meal. A meal doesnt have to be complicated, but it does have to taste as nice as it looks. Your recipes are simple and within the grasp of anyone who loves great tasting food. Keep up the good work Bill-- I hope to make a lot more of your recipes for my family. Toorbul Qld

    Bill's cookbooks are mostly great, though I find I have to adjust some of his baking recipes for some reason, maybe they don't triple test them. I have been to his darlinghurst and surry hills cafe's and been really dissapointed both times, Bill must not be in the kitchen! Uncooked bacon in a BLT, bad coffee, small things like that. Still his show is beautiful!

  • SF46

    Love his easy Christmas day ideas - cannot wait to do the stuffed turkey breast fillet.... You really feel part of his family when you watch him cook and then sit with them to enjoy! They are all so natural and relaxed, like mine...

    I've tried tons of Bill's recipes and they are always a success and delicious. It is so good to see someone who is self-taught do so well in the industry. It tells us passionate home-cooks that we don't necessarily need years of formal training, just passion and love of food and we can get very good at it. Thanks Bill for making cooking great food so easy!
