Belinda MacDonald grew up on a lifestyle farm in Cambridge, New
Zealand. She was inspired from a young age by her mother and
father's self-sufficiency - the garden, plantings, foraging,
milking the house cow, and spending hours in the kitchen
cooking.
Belinda appeared on TV's first My Kitchen Rules NZ series in 2014
and co-won the title with her boldly flavoured cooking
combinations. She showcased how food can be rich and indulgent but
also fiercely healthy at the same time. From there she became
co-author of her first cookbook My Green Kitchen with Neena
Truscott.
She realised early on that her gift to her children and the
community would be to empower them about the importance of
nutrition, wellbeing and eating sustainably and seasonally. Since
winning MKR, Belinda has influenced the community with local foodie
columns, TV appearances, live cooking demonstrations, keto food
vlogging, and she also opened New Zealand's first 'pop-up' organic
bone broth bar serving wellness shots, tinctures of healing fire
cider, and infused butter bombs. Recently she has become a creative
culinary consultant for 5 different food establishments, where her
passion for sharing is assisting hospitality teams with their
seasonal menu designs giving them the 'flavourbomb' treatment, all
while supporting local growers and producers.
