Farewell To The Original Domestic Goddess

We pay tribute to icon Margaret Fulton, who inspired a generation of home cooks

Margaret Fulton was, and always will be, the true blue queen of Australian home cooking. Over her career spanning multiple decades, the fun-loving, caring, free-spirited and one-time Woman’s Day Food Editor has whet our palettes with tantalising treats and made our tummies rumble with her scrumptious recipes.

But on July 24, millions of Aussies shed a tear for Margaret, who sadly passed away, aged 94.

The celebrated cook and author, best known for the ground-breaking Margaret Fulton Cookbook – which was first published in 1968 – was the friendly face of Aussie cooking long before celebrity chefs like Curtis Stone and Neil Perry put us on the international map.
