Queensland, 27, Health Product Rep

Having completed a Bachelor of Health Science (Nutritional Medicine), food is about both work and play for Georgia Barnes. By day she is a nutritionist selling health products and training staff, and by night, she is a committed home cook.

Cooking since before she can remember, sharing food is important to the whole of Georgia's family, with mum Helen a great role model in the kitchen.

Her grandmother "Mama" was also central in teaching her the basics, with the pair spending hours in the kitchen together. Mama passed away in 2010, but Georgia still draws inspiration from her. She also looks to Australian chefs Matthew Evans and Stephanie Alexander for motivation.
