Author Biography

Marion Grasby is a little bit Thai (courtesy of her Mum) and a little bit Australian (courtesy of her Dad). Her love of food and travel became ingrained at an early age as her globe-trotting parents lived and travelled in Darwin, Papua New Guinea and Thailand. Marion eventually settled in Brisbane long enough to complete her studies in law and journalism, before being snapped up by the ABC and bundled off to Adelaide, South Australia, where she worked as a TV and radio reporter for 3 years. In 2010 Marion won Australia's hearts during the second series of MasterChef Australia. Later that year, she fulfilled a life-long dream to create her own food range, Marion's Kitchen, the hugely popular meal kits that are currently sold in supermarkets around Australia. In 2011 Marion released her first cookbook, Marion: Recipes and Stories from a Hungry Cook. Her current TV series, Marion's Thailand, premiered on LifestyleFOOD in May 2013.
