I'm Pat Churchill, a New Zealander now living in Melbourne, Australia with my husband Don. My food writing began 30 years ago with a column for bachelor cooks, Man About the House, which later evolved into a cookbook.

I'm a member of the New Zealand Guild of Food Writers and the Food Media Club Australia and write food columns for three New Zealand newspapers. My former website, Kiwi Kitchen, won the NZ Guild of Food Writers Electronic Media Award-IT for 2001.

The articles on my web site are archived in the Kiwi Kitchen section while Cooking Down Under embraces my culinary adventures since arriving in Australia.
