Karen Martini started cooking at the age of sixteen. She worked in various kitchens, including at the iconic Tansy’s, before launching the critically acclaimed Melbourne Wine Room. In 2002 Karen took on the role as Executive, and Founding Chef of Sydney’s legendary Icebergs Dining Room and Bar, maintaining Chef’s Hats in both cities for two years until she returned to live in Melbourne full time. In 2004 Karen opened the much‐loved St Kilda pizzeria mr. wolf. Karen’s career as a food editor began with her popular recipe column in Sunday Life magazine; she is currently food editor for Fairfax’s ‘Epicure’ and ‘Good Food’ weekly liftouts. Karen also enjoys a huge following through her television roles: as a judge on the smash-hit series My Kitchen Rules, and her segment as resident chef on Channel 7’s Better Homes and Gardens. Karen lives in Melbourne with her partner Michael, their two children, and their dog Rudi. She is the author of five cookbooks, and her recipes are consulted, torn out of newspapers, stuck on fridges and cooked in kitchens around the country, every day.
